Nov 3, 2008 Check Out previous Blogs The final week of District football was generally played on Halloween. It brought us many "tricks and treats" that we didn't expect to find.
How about this trick? Marquette(4-6) , Class 6-District 3, was 1-1 after the first two weeks. Parkway South and CBC were scheming, calculating what they would need when Marquette dropped their last game. Their final game was against highly favored Lafayette Lancers (8-2). Rumbling for over 400 total yards of offense and having star running back, Matt Warrick score 4 times was the difference as the Mustangs shocked Lafayette 34-30 to finish 2-1 in district. Since they tied with Lafayette, the head-head tie-breaker gives the Mustangs their 1st District Crown in football!!
What about this trickster? Going into District at 0-7, the Oakville Tigers were not given much of a chance despite losing 4 games by 6 or less points. When the Tigers beat Northwest (2-8) and Seckman (0-10), few eyebrows were raised. On Halloween, the Tigers shocked the Fox Warriors 29-26. QB Joe Plassmeyers's winning TD pass to Lavelle Boyd in the final few seconds of the game left this crowd with no joke to tell!
Time for a treat! How would you like to have seen the Ste. Genevieve(9-1) game. Ste. Genevieve outscored Fredericktown (8-2) 70-46 ! Kory Faulkner was 45 of 51 for 412 yards and 6 TD passes. WOW...now that's a treat for most fans!
Running all over the neighborhood! Brad Allen (Jefferson City) only carried it 9 times but piled up 401 yards and 5 TD scores in the Jays romp over Hickman 59-14!
These trick-treaters came home early! Interestingly enough, the class 6 game between SLUH-Fox brings two teams that both lost last week! Fox fell to Oakville (see above) while the Jr Bills, who had clinched the district title after 2 weeks, were bounced by Lindbergh (7-3) 20-17. Fox saw a loaded "box" defensively last week so they should expect more of the same "treat". SLUH always seems to have a tight game with the Flyers who were able to pass the ball around the field.
No empty bag for these teams! Hazelwood Central (8-2) and McCluer North (5-5) each had to win last weekend to find themselves invited to the dance. Each team moves on now after victories, will the pressure of last weekend's games take some of the extra pressure from the sectional round games? Each of these programs have been "there" many times previously. In case you're wondering--a game between these two teams? Central won by a single point!
Quiet (as always) costumes! Very stealth-like, the Eureka Wildcats go 9-1 for the 2nd consecutive year and no one hears anything about them? The only loss was an OT loss to Parkway West ! Why is this..your thoughts to bryan@prepcasts.com
This road is rocky to walk... The Union Wildcats (10-0) have been in the running clock 8 of their 10 victories but no one seems to notice. Union will have to work its way through the Western side of the class 4 brackets-- a tough road to hoe. A first round game against Williard (3-7) will probably be followed by Bolivar (9-1). The winner of that game will no doubt draw the Webb City Cardinals (10-0).
Unblemished treats.. Other unbeaten Class 4 teams...MICDS (9-0), Smith-Cotton and Kearney are 10-0. MICDS has the toughest first round draw as they tangle with Normandy (9-1). Some other 9-1 teams areSt. Charles West and Helias in this tough Class 4 brackets. Who do you like in class 4..let me know at bryan@prepcasts.com
Special treat in a small package! The quarterfinal round of Class 1 should see two unbeaten teams face each other. Orrick (10-0) vs Penny (9-0) should really be a dandy treat. The only other unbeaten class 1 team is the Tipton Cardinals. Your class 1 choice....email bryan@prepcasts.com
First bite is the best (according to some)... IN the heavyweights (class 6), the best first round matchup pits the Rockhurst Hawklets (9-1) the defending state champion against the Blue Springs Wildcats (9-1). Some say this is the STATE title game??! Your thoughts...email bryan@prepcasts.com
More treats than you can eat in one night.... So..... Prepcasts has two nights of football for you this week. Wednesday (classes 1-5), Prepcasts will cover the McCluer-Timberland, Maplewood-Brentwood, Jackson-Chaminade, and MICDS-Normandy. On Friday, DeSmet-Ft Zumwalt West (game to be played at CBC), Mehlville at Oakville, Fox versus SLUH and Hazelwood Central traveling to Marquette.
Something wet ? Well you can't drink it but... Prepcasts will have the Metro Catholic Conference Swimming Championship on Friday at 4:00pm.
More crowns? The SLIAC Volleyball championship will be aired at 7:00pm on Saturday while the Midwest Field Hockey Title can be heard at 1:00pm. All are on www.prepcasts.com ! Hope you enjoy this great week of action!!
