After reading all this past week from Jackson fans about their team, I still can't get over how ... mediocre ... that Jackson team was on the field today. Wow. Just... wow.
Webb 35 Jackson 21. Final
- Thread starter hitch_and_go
- Start date
I like the instigation but from my perspective, Jackson was good, not mediocre and they deserve credit. Fact Is WC has a bit of a Bruce Banner in them and the losses and all the talk about their demise has made them angry. You won’t like them when they’re angry.
Mediocre might be a tough term. I don’t think that’s accurate. Their a good football team. Problem is, playing at Webb is hard to prepare, especially with the lore that is Webb City football. There’s no one in their area that can come close to that experience so when your in that type of environment, it can affect ya like yesterday.
based on the Jackson Head coaches recap of the game they let “it slip away”. and they “won the second half” giving WC zero credit for their effort! somebody should have also reminded the band director not to post the columbia travel schedule 2 weeks in advance until you are sure you are going! SEMOBALL.COM has the recap on the game!
this webb team reminds me of the 1992 team that started 1-2 and then never looked back!
I read that same article and had the same thoughts as you. He also stated that both sides of the ball missed signs from the coaches in the first half that resulted in several missed opportunities. I’m not sure if he never gave Webb credit or the writer chose to omit the coach’s praise of Webb.
Well, sour grapes. Jackson had a 5 hour trip back to the Missisiippi River and so what else is the coach gonna say? You got to spin the loss somehow to the Jackson fanbase who thought their Indians could compete with the Kansas City Chiefs this year.
Ill be curious to see how good Jackson is next year with the graduation of their QB. Clearly, Jackson's 3-year window was sparked by their QB's play. Without him, will Jackson be back?

Their coach has done it for about 25 years, I don't think he worries about spinning anything to the fan base. I only saw the highlights, but I would say they had a 5 hour ride, played in a tough environment, against a team with even more tradition than them, coached by one of Missouri's best HS coaches ever, and just plain got beat.
WIth them winning most game big, I am sure the next QB played quite a bit of snaps. Their coach obv knows quite a bit on developing a QB. From afar, looks like they have the work ethic, coaching, town support, facilities, and expectations that they will be back.
He gave Webb lots of credit in the Ozark Sports Zone articles. Gave Webb props for controlling the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball and spoke very highly of J Rod
““I thought Webb City won the line of scrimmage,” Jackson coach Brent Eckley said. “That was pretty critical. On both sides of the ball I thought they did a good job there. Coach Roderique would never admit it but scheme-wise they do a great job of finding what’s soft and then exploiting that and I thought they did a really good job with that again. Defensively they were very multiple and kept us off balance, especially throughout the first half.”

It was pretty funny reading his comments and not giving Webb proper credit. That and the band director being so confident they would win that they were already planning on going to Columbia then the flag waving a midfield, makes it all even sweeter.
WHY WON'T MDC ADMIT THAT THERE'S MOUNTAIN LIONS IN THE STATE?!?!
They did many years ago,,,in fact had a picture of a big male mountain lion that they took on a Jan 1 canoe trip in Missouri Conservationst Mag
That article said their kicker extended his state record point after streak…… but didn’t Webb block his first attempt???
Lies!!! All lies!! When will you wake up and see MDC is protecting Big Lion ?!??!
He holds the record for most extra points kicked in his career breaking Joplin's kickers record from 2019, I think he ended up kicking 220.
There's some, as I've sent you pictures of, right south of here lately. I'm bound to find them, and bears.
I was born in Alaska, I've seen numerous elves!Mountain lions are make believe - like elves, gremlins, and Eskimos.

I’ll add to this as well, in Christian County while hiking the blue-yellow trail of Busick Saturday, the Ms. and I found what we thought was proof of the “big Kitty” but since we are not Conservative Agents…we just kept it moving. Our concern was not running into Bears…🤣
