[blue and white pride]

How is Parkway North still in the top 10 at 4-4? (sarcastic voice)

North has the opportunity to make that stick when they play at C5 #7 Pattonville this week.

I'm wondering the same thing.

Granted, they play half their schedule against some of the top teams in St. Louis, but they've also lost half of their games on schedule so....

When they win, they win BIG. When they lose, they lose by one TD or less....1 point to Webster and 7 points to Ritenour, both top 10 teams.

The loss to Pkwy Central was 20-7.

 

[JNreturns]

Can't argue with those lists. I suspect the Class 6 teams from KC will beat the St. Louis schools. But they have to prove it. Blue Springs has lost some big games this year. LSW could run the table, but they will beat each other up on the way to the Dome (oh, I mean Faurot Field.)

Class 6 championship is in Springfield this year.

I suspect Rockhurst has a different opinion. This class is up for grabs.

It seems as though the tide has begun to turn the last few years. StL area teams, especially Class 5 and Class 6, have taken notice how to win at state and are doing so.

It'll be interesting to see how things shake out this year.

Last year was good. Winning Class 5 and 6. But for six years before that, St. Louis schools have only won 2 out of 12 titles.

StL area teams have won 2 of the last 3 ships in Class 6.

The tide is turning.

If you haven't seen Pkwy North play, here are game video links:

[Mister_Wizard]

Thanks for the video link. Both of these teams would struggle against Webb City.

 

[STL_Dan]

Thanks for the video link. Both of these teams would struggle against Webb City.

I can't think of too many teams in Missouri - any class - that wouldn't struggle against WC.

 

[USArmyMike]

Webb vs class 5 champ would be an awesome matchup. IDK about class 6 as I think this may be the deepest its ever been.

 

[Flint222]

Camentdton falls out of 4A

2 KC teams take a kick in the groin.

Top 3 teams - the best in Class 4 - stay put. No surprises. They are the elite.

1. Webb City, 8-0
2. Carl Junction, 7-1
3. Platte County, 7-1

Two St. Louis teams move in to the next two spots:

4. Parkway Central, 7-1
5. Ladue, 6-2

And then the rest of the top 10 (Yawn), the fodder teams for the elite above...

6. Kearney, 6-2
7. St. Francis Borgia, 8-0
8. Smithville, 7-1
9. MICDS, 6-2
10. Parkway North

Camentdton falls out of 4A

The "A" was dropped, years ago.

 

[blue and white pride]

Is this Parkway North team better than last years team? Because they struggled with the veer and physicality last year in the semifinal.

 

[blue and white pride]

The "A" was dropped beginning in 2002 when Class 6 was added.

 

[JNreturns]

Thanks for the video link. Both of these teams would struggle against Webb City.

Everyone but maybe a couple class 5s and a couple Class 6 teams would struggle with Webb. Bahahaha And they would also have a hard time

 

[USArmyMike]

If Joplin continues to do well will Webb lose that recruiting pipeline ;-)

 

[revno]

Waynesville's sign reads "Home of the 2007 class 5A state Champs". Maybe they're jinxing there selves?
