Class 6
The Big One is the Blue Springs (10-1)-Rockhurst (9-2) rematch from many weeks ago. Blue Springs is loaded with extraordinary talent at the offensive play-making positions. Rockhurst, who took two early losses out of state, seems to find a way to win. They've beaten these Wildcats and the Jefferson City Jays TWICE ! Blue Springs has been itching for this chance to redeem themselves since their loss- I'm going with the Wildcats.
Jefferson City Jays (9-2) travel to St Louis to face the DeSmet Spartans (11-0). The Jays potent offense is led by a terrific offensive line led by Caleb Davis (who will play on Friday after last week's "stinger" scared everyone). Running back, Jr Cody Walker (6-2, 225) is D1 all the way. DeSmet's strength has been a stifling defense that relies on speed from all eleven spots. Offensively, Stephen Kaiser has been improving each week and has provided the catalyst when needed (which hasn't been too often). Malcolm Agnew has replaced the injured, David HIll, in a spectacular way. Look for a high scoring affair here. I'm thinking the total points will be around 70. This game may be heard on www.prepcasts.com
Fox (9-2) upset previously unbeaten Lindbergh last week, 31-28 in an OT thriller. Travelling the same path as last year, the Warriors play Oakville in another rematch. Oakville won the district championship game 19-13 as they took away the Fox pass game. Seizing the momentum with the Lindbergh win, I'm looking for the Warriors to make another trip to the semifinals like last year. Thsi game may be heard on www.prepcasts.com
Two runner-ups will be in the quarterfinals. Lafayette stunned everyone with their 38-22 win over McCluer North last weekend. Hazelwood Central's win over CBC was an easy 35-7 win. Central seems to be peaking at just the right time....Hawks facing Fox in semi's again this year!! it's on Saturday on www.prepcasts.com
CLASS 5 Not many people gave the Chaminade Flyers much of a chance against the red-hot Hazelwood East Spartans. Some said that they were too one-dimensional-Rob Standard running. It didn't matter, Standard ran for over 300 yards and Chaminade tumbled the Spartans(6-5) 24-21. Now Chaminade faces the Webster Groves Statesman in the quarters. WG trailed 18-15 at half against Eureka (5-5) but came alive in the second half to win going away 36-25. I think that the Statesman may have been looking past Eureka (anticipating Haz East Spartans) last week but will be focused this week. WG.
Best Class 5 game of the day--Ft Osage (11-0), who beat a good Park Hill team 29-6, will face perennial power Raymore-Peculiar (8-3). Ray-Pec stepped up into a conference with larger teams so they're record may be a bit deceiving. This will be a terrific battle-- I'm leaning to the tried&true team-- Ray-Pec.
Parkway North (9-1) won in thrilling fashion on Monday-- four OT's over Rolla 38-25. Aaron Hummert's FG was the difference as the Rolla FG attempt to tie hit the uprights!! The Vikings will now face their old intra-district friend, the Parkway Central Colts. Central knocked off the GAC Champs, Timberland 22-8. Coach Bob Bunton has his team perking...I'm going with the Vikings.
