Ignoring all of the what-ifs about the longevity of this season, it appears we’ll at least get 1 week of football action. So what games are going to be worth watching? Any that might be big factors in deciding conference champions down the road?
Week 1 Games to Watch?
- Thread starter tripleoption24
- Start date
Another thread on here says "with guidance from county health departments" game was cancelled.
seems that is St Pius of Festus, and that county has had an increase in COVID cases, according to a TV Station Website from that area.
Pierce City hasn’t lost a regular season game in like, 3-4 years? They graduated a huge senior class though, and play Lockwood on Friday. Don’t know much about LW, but they’re usually contenders in the SWC and have a big senior class.
Have you been smoking or just extremely biased?I'll take Joplin +50. How much you want to bet?
*gives the politically, sportsmanship correct reply* I know Marshall has their gunslinger back at QB and we have a heck of a lot of new faces starting. We'll line up and see what happens. (Can you tell I've interviewed coaches for over 30 years) LOL
Im just giving ya crap buddy. It shoyld be a good game. Haug is good, but just depends on who steps up around him. I just want a good year. Been a loooong time. Like 2006 loooong time lol
Coach Rod has too much class to win by 50 with a turbo clock. If it were to happen
After the way Joplin's fans and the media acted last year after having one and a half good seasons this century, I hope not.
Cant blame the coaches or kids for that. Coach Jasper does a great job with his kids and program.
Im looking forward to Lincoln Vs Cass Midway this Friday in Lincoln. Both are becoming traditional powers to an extent in class 1. I think these schools are always ones to watch and this game should tell us where they both stand.
god forbid the community get excited about a special season.
I'm definitely not saying Joplin is going to win, but I do think some of you will be surprised with their team this year. They don't have the stars, but they're pretty deep. Keep an eye on the Dante Washington kid. He's going to be a good one.
I know right? I only have loose connections to that program at this point but still follow the eagles and occasionally go to games there if it's an intriguing match up. I was really happy to see them do so well the last few years and was happy for their fans. Long time coming.
A lot of my Webb fans mocked Carthage for celebrating on the field with such enthusiasm in 07 but I don't think they understand what it's like to beat a team you've lost to for 20 straight years and many playoff hopes also crushed by said team.
Last years game meant more to me than who won. Let’s hope those circumstances never happen again.
That’s one of my favorite memories. Hated losing to Carthage but to see that much excitement from them was pretty special.
I like WC’s chances but just because Joplin isn’t likely to be where they were the last couple years doesn’t mean they won’t be a real good test. Remind you that no one is a well oiled machine in week 1.
Jackson @ Fort Zumwalt and Fort Zumwalt North @ Battle. We'll have all the highlights of both games.
Jackson is definitely one of the best teams in all of the state this year and Zumwalt West is coming off a final four appearance. Still, I think West will have to play nearly perfect to knock off Jackson. The Indians have an incredible offense on paper with Welker back at QB for year No. 3 and return all of their offensive line including Connor Tollison, who is on his way to Mizzou.
Zumwalt North and Battle is a rare non-area rivalry game given how both teams have seen each other a lot since 2014 in the playoffs. Two perennial solid programs should provide for a good game.
