Asterisk season as it was 2020 Nixa pushed eventual champ Ray-Pec right to the limit. Lost to Joplin in 2021 and was not nearly blown out by 2022 finalist LS North last year. Definitely should be very high interest in that Webb opener again this year on both sides.
Just read on and confirmed wow Chris Cantwell. Time freaking flies it seems like those Beijing Olympics were just the other day...
I have heard that whole freshman core (now Sophomores) are very impressive and Perry seems to be very excited for the future of Nixa football on this kids coming up.
That's also the same time period since Perry was hired.
I have heard that as well. A friend of mine who lives there had been groaning about their under-performing football program for years. I've never seen him so excited as the last couple years. According to him they are beyond stacked and will be a favorite if not THE favorite in COC for the foreseeable future.
My friends in Nixa did the same thing when Nixa beat Joplin. I remember talking to them in Nixa before the game started and they did say that Nixa would beat Joplin by 2 touchdowns. They was right of course. All excited in Nixa and I am excited for them.
MO Class 6 is going to be more exciting than ever this fall! I think this is an up year in KC as well then look at what CBC is taking on to toughen them up for the playoffs. Let's get this hot weather outta here and kick it off now LOL!
I'm looking forward to it as well and looking forward for this hot weather to kick rocks. Haha
You know I went to watch Carthage play there 2 seasons ago, it was their Sr night and I believe COC was on the line. Before the game they had a little presentation of all the seniors (there were like 45 lol) and their best memory from their football career. The most common response BY FAR was beating Joplin... even though they had also beat Webb City. I found that very interesting.
I would expect no less. From a distance that Nixa at Joplin game looks like the COC one of the year. Thoughts?
I would expect the Nixa at Joplin game will be and I suspect a rematch in the playoffs as well. Joplin will have multiple weapons on offense. Joplin's QB looked good at the 7 on 7. Throwing some darts, I believe he is 6-3 - 200 lbs. And has an arm. The TE looked good last year and believe 1 of them was a freshman 6-2 220, the other is D1 at 6-7 245. Joplin RB is D1 6 - 195. Holt OL is D1 6-5 295. I believe Joplin lost 1 OL kid and a WR from last year so 9 returners. Defense for Joplin has a couple kids with offers but not committed yet. I believe they will return 7 but not positive on that number.
Class 6 is expanding next month but that could indeed happen. Still have this on my fall in person attendance bucket list. Both play Webb before meeting up, though. New HC and all doesn't everyone pretty much share the feeling the Cards are not gonna just drop off?
I bet WC comes out swinging. I don't believe they will just drop off.
K is like 41-22 against one of the worst schedules in the history of history the last 5 years.
Hope you guys catch some bigguns!
