Crushing!

The Hickman Kewpies (7-3) needed a victory against Jefferson City to advance to Class 6 post season play. Leading 30-13 in the 3rd quarter, the Kewpies were feeling good about things. Suddenly, Jays came alive with a couple scores. Late in the 4th, the Jays marched meticulously down the field for a 95 yard, 17 play scoring drive that gave them their first lead of the game 33-30 with just 38 seconds remaining. Hickman, wasn't finished, moved down with a couple keen pass plays. As the clocked ticked off its final seconds, the 43 yard attempt sailed wide for the Kewpies and their playoff hopes sailed away also. Ft Zumwalt West, beating FT Zumwalt South handily, advanced through the point system to the playoffs. The Jaguars will face the DeSmet Spartans on Friday. The game will be heard LIVE on www.prepcasts.com.

The battles of the unbeaten district teams!

Class 6 powers--Rockhurst and Blue Spring South brought in 9-0 records last Friday. The Hawklets raced ahead 27-0 over a stunned Jaguar team as they piled up 231 yards of their game total 282 in the first half.  The Jags fought back using a 93 yard run to narrow the gap but it wasn't enough so the Hawklets move on. Who will they face?  Blue Springs!

St Francis Borgia and Owensville faced each other for the usual stakes--district title. This year the Borgia Knights avenged their 2006 loss and advanced by edging the Dutchman 25-20.

Surrendering 88 points in 3 district playoff games usually isn't good for success. Not so for the Union Wildcats(9-1) who scored 140 points during district! The Wildcats had a wild 42-41 win over the tough St Clair Bulldogs to advance on to face the Ozark Tigers (6-4). Ozark whipped the Nixa Eagles 33-14 in their district title game.

Normandy Vikings (7-3) ended the Cinderella dreams of the U City Lions (3-7) 27-14. Interestingly enough in a game that the final score was a bit misleading, U City had almost 400 yards offense (282-rushing, 112 passing) as opposed to the Vikings who played ground-chuck all day-- 262 rushing and 0 passing !

A little of this and a little of that was the formula for some teams!

 Ft Osage Indians (9-1) shut out Park Hill 7-0 to keep their hopes alive. When St Joe Central upended Park Hill South 38-19, both teams had identical records in district. They had the same point totals, so it went to head-head--the Indians earned the title. Ft Osage will now take on Raytown South in state quarters.

 These Cardinals of Raytown South (4-6) are quite a story! Their 4 district wins are their 4 wins of the year! Early in the year, the Cards fell to the Indians so revenge and a hot streak will be their key components in this rematch.

 Some teams knocked the door down!

Herman Bobcats (7-3) pounded Wright City 49-16. This class 2 team toughens itself with a tough schedule that strong teams from higher classes (Union, Owensville, Montgomery County).

 Lutheran North (6-4) whitewashed the Trinity Titans (6-4) 35-0 in class 3, district 5 play. The Crusadors started off the season very slowly as they dropped 3 of their first 4 games! The Crusadors will now take on the talented Moberly Spartans in sectional play on Wednesday. Moberly (10-0) walloped Kirksville 42-0 last weekend.

 Off the mat!

Trailing 28-21 at the half, Timberland Wolves turned it over to star running back, Montee Ball. Ball crossed the goal line 5 times and rushed for 317 yards in the Wolves 48-38 victory over the spirited Hannibal Pirates.

 Shocked after 3 quarters, the Glendale Falcons (7-3) were behind the Kickapoo Chiefs (1-9) 3-0! The Falcons behind Joey Mendels' 3 rushing TD's came alive and romped to a 27-3 win to notch the district championship.
