Cassville

Yeah, they, I mean, they're...

I think it was last year, you know, Cassville was one of the teams with us and Mount Vernon, and [coughs] gosh, I don't know, m- I don't remember the other one now, but...

Oh, it was Lamar.

You know, we had, we had four teams tied at five and three in the conference, and they gave, they gave, you know, three of those four that were at five and three all they wanted in the ballgame.

She knows now, maybe.

She knows now.

She'll be with us on next week's program for Tiger Talk to talk about the regular season, which is going to be 21, 22 wins, depending on what happens against Bolivar and the number one seed in their district tournament down in the lovely confines of southwest Missouri in Cassville.

So we get ready to talk football and the Lamar Tigers.

I was driving for Southwest Missouri Transit out of Purdy, Missouri.

Uh, Cassville, Purdy, they're all one little community.

Uh, and they had an accident, and, uh, they had, uh, changed names and go with Artie's, changed the names over to Artie's Coastal Transport.

And then things kind of went south from there.

We're not very big on the defensive line, and teams are going to see that.

And East Newton's not going to have the same kind of size that Matt County had, but then we're going to see Lamar and Cassville back-to-back that have the big offensive lines.

I mean, there's going to be no secret what they're going to try to do first.

They're going to try to play bully ball and run it right down the middle between the tackles.

But as far as the highlights are concerned, after suffering their first loss of the season, the Tigers were looking for a bounce-back effort on Friday night against, as I mentioned, a 1-4 McDonnell County Mustang squad.

Mustangs were 1-4, but had already played.

Remember, they had already played Cassville and Lamar following a season-opening win at Marshfield and then lost to East Newton 28-27 after falling behind 28-0 in that game and nearly came back and won it.

McDonald County used their size advantage and backup quarterback Jake O'Brien to build a 14-0 lead in the opening quarter with O'Brien getting runs with 36 and 6 yards to pay dirt.

And unfortunately, they put together a pretty good four-quarter game and finished pretty well last Friday night and still got some pieces.

And, you know, it's going to be a dogfight in our district because them and Cassville are definitely – I don't remember the final score of that game, but I think it was a one-possession game.

Yeah, I think so.

So if those two meet in district, it's going to be – It's going to be a dogfight.

Seneca has for quite a few years.

Monette had one.

Every now and then, Cassville has one.

Yeah, Monette had a big quarterback.
