Game Blog: Savannah at Lafayette
The Lafayette and Savannah junior varsity teams put on the best show on Tuesday. The teams put on a high-scoring, entertaining regulation with the Fighting Irish erasing an early 10-point deficit. And that was before the teams went to triple overtime.
Mercer freshman Michaelis’ season thus far, in perspective
There’s a long way for Sierra Michaelis to go, but the incredible Mercer freshman already sits on pace to surpass some remarkable records. Through 15 games (prior to Tuesday night’s matchup with Winston), the 5-foot-10 guard had 441 points, an average of 29.4 per game, through 15 games. Miller’s Hannah Wilkerson, currently a senior, set the state freshman record at 746 and 26.64 in 2006-2007.
GAME BLOG: CITY WRESTLING MEET
How far away was Benton sophomore Aaron Seward from being a city wrestling champion a year ago. Try playing freshman basketball. A first-year wrestler with little varsity experience Seward put his name in annals of unlikely heroes of the City Wrestling Meet.
SHOW-ME BOWL: Day 1
Ross reflects on Day 1 of the Show-Me Bowl, which included local victories by Mound City and Maryville.
PICK 'EM BLOG: 11-man sectionals
This is what I'm talking about.
PICK 'EM BLOG: 8-man quarterfinals
Sometimes parity can be a good thing. Early in the season, the possible 8-man outcome appeared pretty cut-and-dry. Mound City looked incredible during beatdowns against St. Joseph Christian and Stanberry and appeared likely to extend its win streak into next season. Then Worth County changed everything.
PICK 'EM BLOG: 11-man regionals
As I sit on my couch trying to flush the last of flu symptoms out, I can't help bet look at my picks record and feel even more sick.
PICK 'EM BLOG: Week 10
Now, I'm not one to make excuses. When Ross outpaced me in 'Pick Em last year, I graciously relented before the state title games. When Ross beats me down in the video-game realm, especially in soccer games, I bow to his superiority with the dual-shock controller. The same cannot be said for Mr. Martin apparently.
What We Learned -- District finale preview
Ross and Andy discuss the district standings for area teams and the playoff implications for all of this week's high school football games.
PICK 'EM BLOG: Week 9
I'm fading fast with no signs of life. Of the group of people picking each week at nwmosports.webs.com, I was last with my putrid performance last week. There are many very even teams around the area right now, and I'm struggling with the 50-50 matchups. Now, last year, I dominated the Pick 'em, and I mean it wasn't even close.
WHAT WE LEARNED: Districts - Week 1
Thoughts on Savannah's historic win against Chillicothe dominate this week's discussion, as well as a breakdown on all of Class 3 District 16. Plus, Buchs and Plattes abound in Class 1 District 16 or whatever number it is, as Andy Meyer and Ross Martin discuss the week that was in high school football.
PICK 'EM BLOG: Week 8
With districts upon us, everyone's record goes back to 0-0 - a fact nearly every coach in the game is more than eager to tell anyone at this time of year.
PICK 'EM BLOG: Week 7
While this week's schedule might lack that marquee historical matchup that keeps high school football fans salivating, this list of games has one thing going for it: competitiveness. Savannah and Maryville do meet to again decide a frontrunner in the MEC, and a Spoofhounds' victory virtually locks up the title for them. You also have Worth County and North Andrew in a do-or-don't make the playoffs matchup for North Andrew.
WHAT WE LEARNED: Week 6
Maryville's win against Chillicothe dominates the discussion as Ross Martin and Andy Meyer talk about the week that was in high school football.

Stats don't lie, goes the saying. Well, they don't always tell the truth, either.
