Three Weeks Left Before Districts?!!
April 21, 2008 by Ole · Leave a Comment
Have to start this week off with a look back – how many of you saw Jack Jewsbury showing off his goal-scoring skills yesterday against the Chicago Fire? Check it out here (Windows Media Player needed) That’s a pair of game-winning assists and a game-winning goal in five games. Sweet.
As the title notes, there are only three weeks of High School play remaining before Districts. The compact nature of the Spring season is something that is always on the Coaches minds and the rain hasn’t helped matters. I’m writing an article for Big O Sports with a deadline today for their May/June issue. We’ll all find out how good I am at forecasting as Districts roll around. So what games this week might play a roll in the outcome? How about
* Monday – Ozark visits Glendale tonight, at Cooper
* Monday – Catholic and Greenwood want private school respect, also at Cooper (5:00 pm V only)
* Tuesday – Parkview host Camdenton while Rolla hosts Lebanon
* Wednesday – Glendale at Catholic, 4:30 pm Varsity starting time
* Thursday – Parkview hosts Kickapoo and Camdenton hosts Lebanon
* Friday – Ozark hosts Parkview, a key District 12 seeding game
I’ll look at this weekends Tournament activity in another post.
The Champions League returns for the first leg of the semifinals, Liverpool fans grieve and fret and it’s because of some profit-mongering Americans. That’s a nice prelude to watching the game on Tuesday – Liverpool vs Chelsea begins at 1:30 pm. On Wednesday it’s Barcelona vs Manchester United. As has been the case this Spring, you can find me at Coester’s for both games. Come join us!
The Missouri State Bears will host the Missouri Southern Lions on Thursday evening at Plaster, start time is 6:30 pm.
And I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention this weekend will see the beginning of the Missouri State Cup. Yeah, the U13-U17 Boys teams from Springfield SC will begin competition in St Louis in the early rounds. The defending champs, the U17 boys, have a bye on Saturday but everyone plays this weekend. UPDATE – the Total SC U16 boys are also entered, with a 1st round bye this weekend. More later.
