KCScout76 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 As many of you know, I coach the 8th Grade football team at Raytown South. The kids I coached four years ago made it the the Missouri State 5A championship game on Friday after Thanksgiving. This was our first football championship game since the school opened in 1967 (Though we have four basketball titles and couple of Track/Field titles).It was a very exciting game with Hazelwood East (St. Louis) tossing a 29 yd Hail Mary pass as time expired to beat us 39-34.We had just taken the lead with :30 left to go on the clock, it was a see-saw game as the lead changed several times through out the game. What a way to lose the game. Their 6-3 receiver out leaped our 5-7 DBs for the game winner.The Cardinals in Red/Black unis is our team.See pictures below from the game last week.See more pix below - - - Kansas City Scouts (CHL) Orr Cup Champions 2010, 2019, 2021 St. Joseph Pony Express (ULL) 2023 Champions Kansas City Cattle (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigga Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Your (former) boys fought to the very end. Any coach can be proud of that!

Viper Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Yeah, that had to have been an amazing game to watch. The first thing that came to mind was the finish to last year's Minnesota 4A championship game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Saw the highlights on the news and thought of you, KC. Sorry about the outcome, but it's pretty awesome they got there. Congratulations on that much. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Watched a little bit of the game(s) with my dad at my sister's house in Cape Girardeau. I was kinda pulling for you guys (even though I prefer the St. Louis area over KC), partly because HEast had beaten Jackson, where my brother-in-law is Asst. Principal and many of my cousins went to school, in the previous round. Nonetheless, congrats to them on a good season. Your work at the beginning of their "school" careers shows in their performance last week and reflects well on you. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 They're playing the championships at the EJ Dome now? I always thought those were at Faurot. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

McCall Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 They're playing the championships at the EJ Dome now? I always thought those were at Faurot.They've been at the Dome for a number of years now. I believe they were there when I was in high school and I graduated in 2000. Not sure about that though. I'll have to check. But they have been playing them in the Dome for a while. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCScout76 Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 They've been playing in the Dome for a long time - in 1992 when I started Coaching in Carrollton (Trojans) Missouri (2A school), the goal was to get to St Louis, so it's been 16 year at least.

The EJ Trans World Dome wasn't even built until '95, the year the Rams moved into town. And even then it wasn't ready until halfway through that season.

Of course, in the early 90's I was only in 4th or 5th grade and didn't really pay attention to HS football. Though the basketball championships moved to Columbia after the 1991 tournament, so it could've been around that time that football moved there too. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
