State Discussion

As for state workers.

MSHSAA mentioned to me when they called several months back.

A. They would prefer workers for both Friday and Saturday (hence why Jim and I didn't attend)

B. Because of part A they wouldn't use college students unless they needed to.

2008 District Predictions?

NP lost to EB 450- 125 ish in the regular season. They did however win the conference tournament.

Plattsburg did lose Cody but gained another Freshman who put up 15 Tu per game in conference.

I wouldn't be shocked if one of the KCI teams wins on Saturday.

The real question is why in the world is the B team (1 junior, 2 sophomores, 1 freshman) making it into the playoffs anyway? Maybe because it isn't a math heavy team like you tend to make your A teams, or unlike their coach there might be a player who enjoys the College game. Either way if my coach...
