I have video proof that O’Fallon was only granted 2 more downs after their 1st & 10 play at the Edwardsville 17-yard line on their final possession. Final play was short of the first down marker but it should’ve been 4th down after instead of turnover on downs. OTHS lost 43-36.

Hearing from sources MSHSAA has changed their ruling, which will allow virtual learning schools to participate in sports. That also means superintendents will ultimately be responsible to decide if their school districts will play. Waiting for the official word soon.

Two all-staters with over 30 touchdowns rushing/receiving & have started all four years. Best duo in Missouri & maybe beyond dare I say. MICDS will be very tough to beat whoever they play going forward in the playoffs. Won’t find a better mix of talent/experience in the state.
