MSHSAA Looking at New High School Football Playoff Format

by Jeff Fisher
Missouri High School Football Huddle

Jeff McNiell of the Houston Herald is reporting today that the Missouri State High School Activities Association is going to examine whether to abandon the current playoff system for a new format.

The 2011 season will mark the fourth year in a four-year trial period for a playoff system that advances the two top teams from each district to the post-season.

According to McNiell's story, the MSHSAA is requesting input from its member schools about the current system and two other options.  Aside from the current system, another option is to return to the playoff system used from 1988 to 2007, which qualified one team from each four-team district.  The other is to play a nine-game regular season with the 10th week starting a tournament that would involve every team in the state.

Demet and Jefferson City to Take Part in East St. Louis High School Football Tripleheader

by Jeff Fisher
Missouri High School Football Huddle

Last season DeSmet beat Jefferson City in the Class 6 quarterfinals. This season, the two will test how good they are in the City of Champions Classic at East St. Louis.

Jefferson City will play St. Rita in the middle game of the tripleheader. Last season St. Rita won its sixth Prep Bowl championship, beating Chicago Public League championship Simeon 34-20. The Mustangs advanced to 7A quarterfinals where they were beaten by eventual state champ Wheaton Warrenville South.



DeSmet, which lost in the state semifinals is expected to play a team from to be named later from Georgia, while East St. Louis will take on a team from Florida.

Webb City HS Alum Grant Wistrom a Triple Crowner

by Jeff Fisher
Missouri High School Football Huddle

We all know that Webb City has a darn good football program with nine Missouri state football championship trophies in the trophy case.

Today I spent some time finding out that Webb City alum Grant Wistrom has done a good job of collecting titles since helping his high school team win two Class 4A state titles. It seems that Wistrom may be Mr. Champion, because he's the only football player that I could find that's won a Super Bowl title (Rams), a national championship in college (three times at Nebraska) and a state football championship.
