It all came down to a 4th and 1 on the 5 yd line, 1:10 remaining, trailing by 6 points, it was a phenomenal ending to a great Class 2 sectional game….
..the Crystal City Hornets trailing 28-22 had driven down the field. The Caruthersville Tigers had controlled the 1st half and capitalized on 2 short fields after turnovers to score TD’s. The Hornets had the better of the play in the 2nd half but here it was, the game on the line. Crystal’s inside run game was stopped just inches short of a 1st down!

…Westminster had the tables turned on them ! After beating highly ranked MICDS and JBurroughs, the Wildcats scored on the 1st play from scrimmage on a short pass into the flat against Miller Academy Phoenix to take a quick 7-0 lead in Class 3 sectional play. True to their name, the Phoenix rose back up, used tremendous speed and a tenacious defense to win 24-14 in a game loaded with turnovers. Hear the complete replay on www.prepcasts.com
…several teams tumbled from the unbeaten ranks this week. All of these losing teams were unblemished when the game began: Class 3 – St Pius X 17 Platte County 14;
Class 2-Blair Oaks 28 Centralia 6 (two fabulous goal line stands by the Falcons make the score seem wider than the competition); Clark County 26 Brookfield 0 (Clark County avenged a mid season loss to the Bulldogs with this win); Class 1— Gallatin 41 Rock Port 6 (this game featured two unbeaten teams !)
…2-4 in midseason—are you looking ahead to next year ? Not the St Vincent Indians who have now won 5 straight after rolling past rival, Valle Catholic of St Genevieve 17-7. The Indians have the defending STATE champions, 11-0, Marionville Comets up next!
…did they switch uniforms ? Last year, the Moberly Spartans stifled a strong comeback by the Lutheran North Crusadors to win the sectional round game. This year the Crusadors returned the favor as they won 28-19 holding off the Spartans frantic comeback . North’s powerful run game pounded out 339 yards and overcame 5 fumbles (losing two) as they advance to the quarters.
…a 96 yard INT TD, a TD on a fumble recovery on a kickoff, a solid running game and a stout defense were the ingredients for the Nixa Eagles as they shellacked Union Wildcats 54-14. Another slow starting team this year(1-3), the Eagles fly next to Webb City.
..how about 41 points in the 1st quarter ? Parkway North Vikings (11-0) held a 21-20 lead over the Jennings Warriors after the 1st quarter. The scoring slowed some…not too much however…as the Vikings broke a school record for most wins in a season by capturing a 36-32 win. Mike Bunton scored 4 TD’s in this outstanding game.
