Their Volleyball team is playing in front of about 40 Webb fans in attendance. I know its not football, but dang!
Webb City Final Four.
- Thread starter Ftballfan16
- Start date
No reason not to split it into 2 weekends like basketball. It was not just Webb City either. Small crowds for most the schools. The 2 biggest Crowds were Ste. Genevieve and Eldon. The 2 Rural schools. Class 1 and Class 2 will have 3 times the crowds
Tarkio has the option on Friday of either:
1.) go to the home game of their 8-1 state ranked football team against another 8-1 state ranked team
Or
2.) drive 465 miles to watch the girls compete in the final 4 and potentially for a state championship.
may be the first final four for the volleyball team ever. If it’s not, it’s the first one in a LONG time.
they have some tall athletic players this year.
2 Sophs that are 5’11 & 6’1
2 Juniors that are both 5’10
A senior that’s also 5’11
Don’t see that kind of height spread across a team at the Class 1 level too often
They hope everyone pays to watch online.
No excuse for the way they are doing things.
This should never ever be a decision parents and fans have to make.
Sickening.
What good reason is there to forbid Thursday night games.
Doesn’t surprise me. I’m general it seems the communities at smaller schools/towns get behind their kids better than the bigger schools/towns. Probably has to do with everyone knowing everyone.
the product on the field or court generally is so much better with the bigger schools but you have to love the support the smaller schools get from their community.
You love to give Camdenton a hard time and most of the time I disagree with you but I 100% agree with you on this. Awful that MSHSAA would not allow that football game to move to this evening. Once in a lifetime opportunity and somehow MSHSAA messes it up. Terrible no doubt.
I remember attending my niece winning the C4 softball title in 2015 (Staley). There were "maybe" 50 fans in attendance (our family alone was a dozen or so) for them and circa the same for Marquette.
For Tarkio, the team they’re playing is Advance.
a non-football school that is an hour or less from Cape, I’m sure they’ll have a strong showing in the crowd in general, whereas Tarkio already has the 465 mile drive as an obstacle, but because of the football game, I’d be shocked if they even had 50 people show up.
not complaining, just feel bad for those kids.
and I’m not even 100% sure that they tried to move it, but I’d be surprised if they didn’t.
they shuffled some community events(that had been planned for a long time) around last weekend for the QF volleyball game and that one was a home game, so I’d be shocked if they tried to move this one. But who knows.
point being, regardless, they should have the option to, as well as any other school.
Webb City lost to Incarnate Word who shouldn't be allowed in the MSHSAA playoffs at all
Also, now that the private schools are starting to move up and beat the bigger schools maybe something will get done.
If enough class 3-5 schools get fed up they may have to do something like different playoffs.
Like basically every decent state does.
Yup. Recruit your hearts out. Just do it against other schools who do the same.
I was at the Liberty vs. Liberty North district championship game in softball. As electric as any sporting event you will attend. Almost all parents only. But it felt like you were at Kauffman.
MEGA rivalry across the board. Their basketball games are something to attend, too.
Liberty vs. Liberty North baseball. I was at that as well. First of all, you had a MLB high draft pick pitching. Scouts everywhere. And second, both teams are filled with future D1 and D2 commits. They just took turns winning state titles.
Yep the athlete pool all across the Northland is out of sight these days: Liberty North and Platte County won the two biggest baseball classes then add in the pools at Smithville, Kearney, Staley and the Park Hill SD PLUS NKC and now Oak Park football. Great times up this way!
HA! Joe hasnt looked like either one of these two guys in his entire life! Here's a good depiction of Joe
