Who is your big winners of the day?

Adrian is definitely a big loser. I had them as a pretty tough out for Class 1 this year. Would be curious to see the enrollment breaks.
I'm more concerned about that travel but I guess just win out and stay at home but oof
I’ve texted at least 3 people about that today.
They took Fair Groves place in the Lamar district.
If I’m correct, the playoff format shifts back this year so JCs district would play WPs district in the QF I believe?
I’d say WP being the largest Class 4 and staying in the same district they’re in, rather than ending up as the smallest Class 5 was a big win for them. Got very lucky.
Webb caught a very nice break with their district. Have to think it is another Carthage v Webb district championship. Half those teams in that district are just plain bad. Things will get tougher though after that playing either FO, GV, or PC. That first game after districts will be a nice game.
I'm not saying they didn't, but it's a lot of travel for someone. Anytime you got Webb/Carthage in the same district, you're pretty certain it'll be those two for the district title each year
Not a whole lot...but they do have some talent and size that will surprise some people. Most of the players outside of the O line will be underclassmen. Before varsity, the senior class won 1 game since they started in 3rd grade. But I fully expect them to be in the district title game unless they somehow play webb earlier in the tournament.
Big winner? All the Class 1 schools that fought to get any real challengers out of the way.
Webb avoiding Republic is another amazing Webb break.
Turnpike Troubadour fans are the big winners today. No question about it.
I was going to go to Camdenton tonight to see them, but football game got in the way. Lol. Wife got tickets for us to go to Bonner Springs, KS tomorrow night.
I really like what Class 1 looks like. With so many schools going to 8-man. It would put schools with enrollments of 250+ with schools that have an enrollment of less than 100. Makes it really hard to compete when a schoo could literally have 50-70 more males walking the halls than another school.
I’m not sure where my buddy went and saw them but him and his wife posted a bunch of pics this morning from it.
Is Bonner springs a better venue than Cammy? I’ve been to the Ozark Amp just not over in KS
It is. But there doesn't appear to be the Private presence overall in Class 4 with St. Mary's (probably down anyway), Cardinal Ritter, Helias, MICDS all class 5.
LOVE TT...No way I'm fighting that mess of hoosiers in this weather though.
Haven't been to Bonner Springs, so I'll have to get back to you on that. I guarantee I've seen them in dives much worse. But that's been some years ago.
Nixa/Joplin gotta be up there in the big winner category, right? No more fighting the KC schools for a district title.
Yes district 7 is a huge break for Webb City dodging Republic, I'm sure Coach Mac is feeling good about that, much better shot to at least win some kind of trophy. You could also argue that Republic is a winner by avoiding Webb City and Carthage, however they get Lebanon.
This is basically the same district Carthage was in for a few years except swap Webb City for Willard. It was a little weird because Smith Cotton would go undefeated and nab the 1-seed but never advanced to the final.
Joplin also gets somewhat of a break by avoiding a KC district however they have Nixa so I'm not sure that's actually a break. Still I bet they are glad to see that.
They just kicked the can up the road instead. Now you have small class 2 schools with 180 kids playing with schools of 300 enrollment..
I'd say I am the biggest winner of today. Born in the good ole US of A baby!
Steals a quote from Creed Bratton and passes it off as his own. Typical
And last year there were schools with 90 kids playing schools with 180.
There isn’t a “perfect” system out there.
Zach Bryan's new album is damn good too. Looking forward to seeing him in KC next Wednesday.
Im sure you are the BIGGEST winner of them all.
Nixa/Joplin is up there on my list of biggest winners, but the biggest is for me is Jeff City and West Plains staying in C4.
I think Webb winning their district and then losing the quarterfinal is overwhelmingly likely.
Prediction you absolutely will. Favorite as of today in District 8 is GRAIN VALLEY but will get an early peek at Platte County tonight plus they and Fort Osage are developing quite the little rivalry over in East Suburban KC.
