I have a feeling these 2 teams will play again for the district championship game.

I think WP is better in the trenches if they play again

CJ defense probably a little fumed after picking up a fumble and returning it for what would have been a game-tying touchdown (assuming successful PAT kick), only to have had the ref blow the whistle and call the play dead. CJ also had their best rush of the first half called back on a holding penalty.

Just adding some commentary here from someone else who was also watching the same game.

 

[AC100]

CJ doesn't have the speed to stop those outside runs. The coach killed a drive in the 1st half by putting the back up QB in the game to hand off the ball. Everyone knows he isn't going to throw it.

One of the officials had already blown it dead before they picked it up and ran with it was my understanding, but I wasn’t standing right next to the side judge to see or hear that so who knows.

 

[ChaoticFanatic]

They can’t be any worse than the CJ broadcast. It’s 50/50 if they can get the names right, formations correct and don’t expect an accurate yard line or game time.

On the WP broadcast even when WP is on offense, one of the guys gets the name wrong every other play for who is carrying the ball and has to be corrected by the other, and sometimes they don’t seem to have a complete understanding of the rules. Don’t get me wrong, they don’t do a bad job it’s just the little things sometimes that can be annoying, one will be like “well the scoreboard says they have all their timeouts left” and the other will say “well they don’t, they’ve used two of them” just stuff like that.

I’d say they do a better job than a lot of people broadcasting but still not great
Still better than watching the streams with no play by play though

 

[Mister_Wizard]

Holy crap! Jones launches the ball from the backfield about 60 yards to the goal line for a 51 yard TD strike to Moore

XP GOOD

20-10 WP leads with 3:59 left in 2Q

This pass was one of the best I can recall ever seeing in a Missouri High School game. Hit the receiver in stride as well. Very impressive.

He throws a great ball. Probably one of the best I’ve ever seen as well, problem is, he’s prone to overthrowing his receivers.

He has a cannon, but lacks control a lot of the time.

He’s a good QB whether running or throwing but definitely can be inconsistent at times.

Great athlete regardless.

Who do think will come out of this District? I’m wanting a Hannibal West Plains rematch.

 

[FootOnTheGas]

CJ loses....angel gets their wings!!! Thanks West Plains.

 

[OldZizzer69]

I agree our lines are pretty good. But my concern is our secondary. They let a lot by and teams make big yardage of us.

Toss up between the top 3 teams imo

Any of those 3 would be crushed by Hannibal

Aiden Judd being out hasn’t help. He’s been the one shining light in the WP secondary this year imo

 

[ChaoticFanatic]

Definitely possible, but this isn’t the same Hannibal team as usual either. I know Nesbit has got Kirksville moving in the right direction but Kville beat Hannibal with just good old fashioned ball control

 

[AC100]

If WP could play the entire game with zero turnovers they might be able to hang

I agree but I think Hannibal gets kirksville the second time around. Hannibal is definitely better on the offensive side of the ball with speed and better upfront on defense but kirksville is better with ball control and better secondary than Hannibal is. Hannibal will definitely blow out any district 6 team. comparing Osage win over Bolivar 35-0 week 1 and Osage win over Moberly 39-6 win in week 2 and Hannibal destroyed Moberly 57-18 3 weeks ago.

Also Warrenton is so overrated. they beat Orchard Farm by like 2 or 3 td’s last week but Orchard farm barely squeak by Moberly last night 36-35 in OT.

I think using a score comparison from Bolivar loss week 1 (2 months ago) to validate how much better Hannibal is, is a weak argument but alright.

Hey @ChaoticFanatic got a question. If West Plains wins out and Hannibal wins out being a 3 seed. West Plains will have 2 host games and Hannibal have 2 Host games. Who will host the Quarters?

The way they do the rotations now is beyond me, WP hosted 2 years ago and didn’t make playoffs last year. If Hannibal hosted last year, I would assume WP would host this year? But that’s just a guess. I haven’t seen how many times they’ve changed the numbers of the districts, etc etc.

I would say WP, but in short, someone else definitely has more knowledge on this than I

I look on MSHSAA Football Manual. West Plains will host since they will host the District Championship and that’s the tiebreaker for ties if both teams hosted the same amount of the games
