how about....Lexington---Legendary head coach, 5 state titles (even doing the maryville thing and yoyo'ing between classes at times)---and winning up a class as the smallest school---they were lamar before lamar (just not with 7 straight titles)
1976 12-0 State Champs 19-7 win over John Burroughs for State Title
1980 12-0-1 C0-State Champs again / Tie with Burroughs in final.
1984 12-1 State Champs.
1988 13-1 State Champs.
1995 12-1-1 State Champs.
thanks, anyone can throw out webb or lamar or the rock, just thought i would talk up a respected program of the MRVC
I remember ES beating Webb 14-8 in the semifinals in 96. Heart breaking loss for Webb. They lost two fumbles inside the 10 and threw a jump ball to 6'6" Tracy wistrom in the end zone at the end of the game ...it was picked off by a 6'7" guy. ES running back was a load!! Their game winning TD I think he carried 3 defenders the final 10 yards
Who on that team was better than Tommy?2003 Kearney The numbers, the performance...most dominant team.
They turbo-clocked every opponent, including in the playoffs. Ask the Webb players from that year what they thought of the team that beat them at home, 43-0. The Bulldogs featured future Missouri greats Brock Christopher and Tommy Saunders...AND They weren't the best players on the team. The only points they gave up were when they decided to give up points, and put in their third string in the 4Q. Granview scored the most points, with the help of Josh Freeman, K-State and NFL Buccaneer/Viking. You know, 17th overall pick in the NFL draft.
Playoff games: Ladue 43-0 (State Title), Webb 43-0 (Semi), Grandview 42-7. (Quarterfinal)
128-7 in the final three games. Show me ten other teams that did THAT their final three games, and I would consider NOT having this team in the top ten of all time.
Watkins Ladue (43-0) State Title Game
Grandview (MO) (55-20)
Grandview (MO) (42-7)
Webb City (MO) (43-0)
Raymore-Peculiar (Peculiar, MO) (42-6)
Hickman Mills (Kansas City, MO) (42-6)
Excelsior Springs (MO) (53-0)
O'Hara (Kansas City, MO) (61-3)
Raytown South (Raytown, MO) (53-13)
Ruskin (Kansas City, MO) (51-0)
Benton (St. Joseph, MO) (64-6)
Central (Kansas City, MO) (77-14)
Center (Kansas City, MO) (50-0)
Lafayette (St. Joseph, MO) (59-14)
Maryville 91-7 over that time period. Not too shabby either.Lamar Tigers
2011
2012
2013
2014
2015
2016
2017
I would guess The Lamar Tigers hold as many mshssa playoff records as any other teams!
97 Wins
5 Loses during these years combined !!
Who on that team was better than Tommy?
If you are thinking about the year they played in the frigid weather that was 1982. Rockhurst had a heck of a LB in that one too. Hazelwood was big and played power ball. Rock was tall and athletic. Rock won that game by a TD. It seemed as if it were Rock and/or Hazelwood every year in the 80's.Hazelwood Central - I don't think it was the same as the one with Van Zant. The one that had the huge fullback/defensive lineman that went on to play in the NFL. Played Rockhurst in the show-me-bowl at Arrowhead in the 80's...
Tommy wasn't even First team All-State on Offense.
There running back, James Short, was 1st Team All State running back. Their QB, Benny Palmer was All State 2002-2003,. They had four First Team OFFENSIVE All State players, and players that were First Team on D that probably should have been first team on Offense as well.
First Team All State
QB Benny Palmer 5'9" 175 SR Kearney
RB James Short 5'9" 175 SR Kearney
OL Brandon Dray 5'11" 230 SR Kearney
OL Eric Zornes 6'0 210 SR Kearney
DE Stephen Murray 6'2" 215 SR Kearney
LB Brock Christopher 6'2" 215 JR Kearney
DB Tommy Saunders 6'2" 195 SR Kearney
2nd Team All State
TE Jake Massey 6'3" 190 SR Kearney
LB Keith Hessel 6'2" 210 SR Kearney
I guess the '85 Bears wouldn't stand a chance. Lol. If this is by class, then definitely 2003 team not only top 10 but probably top 1 or 2 C4 teams since going to 6 classes. But like Lamar is excellent for Class 2, Kearney has to be kept in C4 context. We can post all of Lamar's or Valle's all-state athletes, but there is no evidence they would have ever even beat the runner up in C6 or top class since 1968. Not knocking the great Kearney, WC, Lamar or Valle teams. They beat the teams they played. Not their fault. I'm also not saying they are the best of all time but I will say: see Parkwood 1980.
They beat all comers...... On the field...... No conjecture.
Not sure what Parkwood enrollment was in 1980 but probably just slightly more than Kearney or WC today. Impressive.
Did I say that? Of course not. I stated that those teams are very good. K 2003 beat who was on their schedule. Just no objective evidence past that. Again, not their fault.Yeah, class 4 teams could never beat top Class 6 teams. Oh, wait.. Webb v. Rock. hahah
