Walnut Grove 30 Golden City 28

I haven't actually seen Delta play, plan to see them tomorrow though, but I can see both sides of this. From the article, Heeb says he doesn't start the same players every game. If that's true, then who is in the game in the fourth quarter is kind of irrelevant as I assume he spreads the minutes out pretty evenly among the ten players he uses, especially in the blow out wins.

And parents often complain if their kid is one of the best players and only plays two quarters in blowouts. I think 3 quarters for the best players is optimum in blowouts, maybe 2.5 in the biggest blowouts.

It doesn't sound like Heeb has his team press when they are up by a lot in the second half at least.

It appears that no matter who is in the game, Delta tries to score. An argument could be made that a coach can have their players slow it down and just pass the ball around without dribbling until there is a layup attempt, or work on set plays and not really try to score too quickly. But that's not Delta's style of play, from looking at their scores. They've practiced all year to play fast and to play hard, that's their style and that's how they win. They didn't do that to get in the games and not do just that.
 
If he is such a great coach why is he coaching class 1 girls basketball?
I am done discussing this. We will agree to disagree. Good luck to Delta this weekend.
I mean, some guys enjoy small schools. But, if you actually knew anything about him, you'd also know he's the supt at Delta. That's the awesome thing about people like you, just see scores and get your feathers ruffled and form opinions based on that one thing you don't like. It's an interesting way to go about things.

Say this on the football board. I dare you. 250 replies and 6 pages later the entire state will be one big section.
54 highway and north to 24ish is midwest MO.

Hopefully captain mullet shows up with his maps.

He mad mad. Living vicariously through the teams that are left in SWMO.

And for the record, Eldo isn't in SWMO.
I don't even know what you mean by that. If wanting local teams to do well at State is what you mean then sure.
I don't even know how to respond to your stupidity.
 
I have always counted Eldo as part of SWMO, same as I did Nevada. I also consider 54 as the north boundary and those two cities are on 54. Yes, technically their high schools are north of 54 but the NFL "break the plane" rule applies here lol

We had a silly discussion over this a while back.

And that's cool. When I owned a regional biz I had to draw an absolute line somewhere. That was my line - HWY 54 from Kansas border to Camdenton, then straight line to Rolla, from there a straight line to Thayer. That was my boundary for SWMO.

I can't imagine a soul in Camdenton, Rolla, or Thayer that would call themselves SWMOians. But maybe I'm wrong. Funny part, Camdenton and Leb are reasonably close. Leb a little further east, but certainly south of Camdenton...and I'd be willing to bet most of the Lebanon folks would say they live in SWMO.

It's all arbitrary man. I just tried to keep it simple, I mean there is nothing between Lebanon and Camdenton for example that could be used as a boundary unless we just went by county lines, and even then, if you look at how jagged the county boundaries are, that isn't a great way to establish a boundary either.

Truth. Hard to draw a straight line over a rocky hill.

SWMO fans tend to include teams that win when their own teams don't.

Thayer would most definitely call themselves SWMOians

Seriously, anyone with a semblance of common sense can look at a map of Missouri and deduce that Highway 54 from the Kansas border to about Camdenton would constitute the best partial northern boundary for SWMO. Especially when the region's largest city is about halfway between 54 and the Arkansas border.

I agree. I spoke with the Eldo Superintendent today. He confirmed their school is north of 54. "Would you say you are SWMO or West Central Mo?"
"We are as SWMO as Putnam County, we ride with Veer and celebrate our West Central Mo heritage in Vicky Hartzler country"

Also Eldo boys basketball= Not in SWMO, but there's a petition to get Lafayette County in SWMO.

Ok fair enough. You pick all the gravel roads, fence lines, and power lines that constitute the boundary of SWMO. Whatever you come up with is good enough for me

Even if Rolla, Camdenton, Thayer, Nevada and Eldo had lost every game in every sport, that would be my definition
 
Considering that Thayer rolla camdenton Lebanon eldo and Nevada play in conference composed of swmo teams we can claim them
 
Towns on the edge of SWMO you have to consider their conference affiliation.
Nevada is in the Big 8 so they now become considered a SWMO team.

This is the kind of quality content I expect when I pay my monthly MoSports Subscription.

Eldo went north thus they are midwest MO

And Thayer? Meh! They're closer to Bootheel teams than they are to some 'SWMO' teams
 
arguing over geographical boundaries is one of the dumbest things I have seen here

Congrats by this logic you now have Butler, Sherwood and Warsaw. Come get your people.
