Week 2 of district continues to confound some and make others look like experts, where do you fall ?

Here we go flying around the great state of Missouri -sorry our place didn't stop at EVERY district! One can only fly so fast...

Class 6-District 1

Fox (8-1) had to block an extra PAT and then make a defensive stand late in the game to hold off upset-minded Northwest (1-8)14-13. NW scored all of their points in the final quarter. Oakville (6-3) glided past Seckman 52-29. Fox & Oakville will decide the district champion this week. Both will move on in the playoffs.

Class 6-District 2

Each of the top two teams struggled this week. Lindbergh (9-0) was behind 15-14 after 3 quarters before scoring 3 TD's in the 4th to win 30-15 over the Ritenour Huskies(1-8). SLUH (5-4)squeezed by Mehlville(0-9) 21-20 when Soph Mitch Klug grabbed a TD pass from Soph Trevor McDonagh with only 2:05 left in the game! Maybe each was looking forward to this week's title game. Both will move on and play teams from district 1.

Class 6- District 3

CBC (7-2) shut out the Lafayette Lancers(6-3) 6-0 in this highly competitive district to take a 2-0 record into the final week against Parkway South(5-4). South upended Marquette 20-7 last week. At this point, CBC is +19; Lafayette + 7, South 0 points so the Cadets & Lancers appear to be in good shape. However, should South beat CBC by 10 points (or more) and Lafayette beat Marquette by 4 or more, it would be Lafayette & South by points since all teams would be 2-1 in district.

Class 6-District 4

What a mess...every team is 1-1 in district ! Hazelwood West stunned McCluer North stars 35-24 a week after the Stars toppled Hazelwood Central Hawks! Really, this is an easy one to figure. The two winners of this week's games will advance. Matchups ?  Haz Cen vs Haz West and Riverview Gardens vs McCluer North Stars.

Class 6-District 5

The top two teams are in place. DeSmet (9-0) rumbled past Howell North 61-0 and has holds a 123-0 point spread in its two District games. The Howell Vikings advanced for their 2nd consecutive year with a convincing 42-7 win over Howell Central. The Vikes & Spartans will determine the District Champ this week on www.Prepcasts.com.

Class 6-District 6

Jefferson City Jays already have district crown on ice. Should Ft Zumwalt West (5-4) beat Troy (1-8) as expected this week, they will be the #2 team of this District. The Jays beat the Jags 55-7 on Friday.

Class 6-District 7

Rockhurst is in the dance..meanwhile, Lee Summit (3-6) knocked off the Joplin Eagles(5-4) 31-16 setting up the game against Lee Summit North (3-6) to determine which team advances with Rockhurst.

Class 6-District 8

The top two teams tangled last Friday. Blue Springs handed Liberty a 51-21 loss.  Blue Springs (8-1) piled up 520 yards of offense and used an explosive 3rd quarter (4 TD's) to break open the game against the Bluejays (7-2). All four scores were offensive plays of 40+ yards. Keeston Terry's receptions and Darrian Miller's runs make the Wildcats tough to defend.

Class 5-District 1

Eureka (4-4) and Summit (3-6) will square off for District title this week. Each team will advance. Eureka has yet to surrender a point in the district play with 7-0 (over Jackson) & 30-0 over Cape Central. Jackson will be home thinking about how close they were...they lost 7-0 to Eureka and 7-3 to Summit..ugh!

Class 5-District 2

#1 ranked, Class 5 team, Webster Groves (8-0) and Chaminade (7-2) will settle the district crown this week. The loser will face the loser of District 1 game in regional round. The winner of that regional game with have the surging Hazelwood East Spartans in Sectionals. Winner draws a bye in regional and faces winner of District 1 in Sectionals.

Class 5-District 3

Weird looking district here-- Parkway North (8-1) is 2-0 in district and the other 3 teams are each 1-1. Kirkwood (6-2) has the Vikings this week while Parkway Central (7-2) & Parkway West (4-5) tangle. Unless Kirkwood can beat North by 13 or more, it appears that winner of Central-West game will advance.  A Kirkwood of any kind, throws it into "points" as the deciding factor.

Class 5-District 4

Hazelwood East Spartans(5-4) are in while Pattonville (2-7) and McCluer (2-7) will determine this weekend the 2nd team from this district. After dropping the first 4 games, the Spartans are riding a 5 game win streak.

Class 5-District 5

Timberland Wolves (8-1, 2-0) who face Holt (5-4,1-1) this week are assured a spot. Washington Bluejays (6-3,1-1)should be the #2 team with a win over Ft Zumwalt South (1-8,0-2)

Class 5-District 6

Lebanon's narrow 28-27 win over Camdenton last Friday should push them into the Playoff spot. #5 ranked (State poll) Rolla sloshed its way past Waynesville 14-0 on Friday to wrap up their spot. Lebanon has Waynesville as Rolla faces Camdenton this week.

Class 5-District 7

One of the districts with 5 teams is one of the best to follow. The Kickapoo Chiefs really upset the apple cart with a stunning, late TD drive to knock off Ozark 17-13. Ozark finishes District at 3-1. Meanwhile, Kickapoo is 2-1 and Nixa is 2-1. Nixa faces Glendale (1-8) as Kickapoo faces Parkview(2-7).  Way too many if's, and's or but's to list all the possible scenario's regarding the point totals. Watch this one closely.

Class 4-District 2

N. County (2-5)scored 14 unanswered points in the 4th quarter to shock Desoto 27-20. Meanwhile, Festus(5-4) was coasting past Windsor (1-8) at half 34-7. Suddenly, the Owls came alive! Windsor scored 26 points in the 2nd half but fell 41-33 to Festus who has a Playoff spot in their pocket. Meanwhile, Desoto (6-3) will face Festus and must win to have a chance for post-season play. N.County faces WIndsor.

Class 4-District 3

Ladue (7-2) came alive late to defeat the Dragons of St Marys 21-17. The Rams trailed 17-7 into late 3rd quarter prior to their rally. Ladue barely edged Afton 21-20 in week one! Afton (7-2) will face SM this Thursday to determine the second team of this district.

Class 4-District 4

With their 14-8 win over Sumner, Vashon (5-4) sits in driver's seat at 2-0. Vashon has been relying on the passing game led by Darren Fowlkes. Gateway Tech (5-4, 1-1) will face Sumner (4-5, 1-1) to determine the #2 slot of this district.

Class 4-District 5

Normandy (8-1) will face U. City (4-5) for the district crown this week. Each are 2-0 in district competition. The winner will likely draw MICDS (#2 team of District 6 in a tough regional game.

Class 4-District 6

Westminster (7-2,2-0) leads the way here. MICDS(7-1) struggled past Duchesne (1-8) to eek out a 20-14 win. Losing in week 1 due, in least in part, to a missed PAT, the kicking woes continued as another PAT was failed in the Duchesne win. Westminster & MICDS will advance.

Class 4-District 7

Ft Zumwalt East (7-2) wins their first district crown with a win over St Dominic 38-23. Both Lions losses have been to playoff teams-- Timberland and Ladue. St Dom will face Warrenton to fill the 2nd playoff spot from this district.

Class 4-District 9

Pacific (7-2) outlasted Union 31-28 to, more or less, decide the district crown. Union (5-4)and St. Clair  (5-4) face each other to decide the #2 team this week in Four Rivers action.

Class 4-District 10

Bolivar (8-1) notched its 4th district title in 7 years as they handled Hillcrest 55-14 on Friday. Hillcrest (5-4) squares off with Williard (1-8), who upset Marshfield, for the 2nd consecutive year to decide the #2 team.

Class 4-District 13

Grain Valley upset #7 ranked Smith-Cotton 56-49 in a track meet. The key play of this thrilling game was the 2-point conversion executed by the Eagles to take a 50-49 lead with 3+ minutes left in the game. Bulldozing FB, Grace Goade powered over to give Grain Valley the permanent lead.

Both teams will advance and we could light up the scoreboard again in sectional round.

Class 3-District 14

Richmond Spartans (5-4, 1-1) toppled Boonville (6-3,1-1) 18-7 on Friday. Richmond held the Pirates to 53 yards offensively in this game! This give the inside track to the Spartans for the #2 hole. Leading the way are the Odessa Bulldogs (4-5, 2-0). Boonville faces Odessa on Friday.

Class 1-District 1

St Vincent (4-5,2-0) earned a playoff berth by scoring the last 16 points of the game and beat Portageville 16-6. St Vincent is tied with Hayti (6-3) (who they face this week) and each team will advance.

Class 1-District 9

Salisbury (6-3) edged Westran(7-2) 22-20 to win the District crown. Westran now faces Fayette to determine the 2nd team of the district.

Our tour is ending now...hope you enjoyed the ride...
