Cassville and Lamar Are 5-0 and Southwest Missouri Football Is Shaking

The high school football season is getting wild out there, and as we hit the end of Week 5, it’s clear some teams are just built different. Cassville and Lamar are absolutely tearing it up, both sitting pretty with perfect 5-0 records as Week 6 looms large.

Big 8 Conference Has Some Real Battles Brewing

Look, when you’ve got two teams at 5-0, you know things are serious. Cassville is running the table at a flawless 5-0 overall and 5-0 in the Big 8. Right behind them, Lamar is also 5-0 overall, rocking a 4-0 conference record. Talk about a heavyweight fight at the top! Nevada isn’t far behind at 4-1 overall and 3-1 in conference play, so they’re definitely still in the mix. Down the line, Seneca and Monett are both holding onto 3-2 overall records. But it’s tough for Aurora, who’s still looking for their first win at 0-5 overall and 0-5 in Big 8 action. Mt. Vernon is 2-3, East Newton is 1-4, and McDonald County is 1-4, so there’s plenty of movement possible in the middle of the pack.

Central Ozark Conference East Is a Dogfight

Over in the Central Ozark Conference East, Nixa is leading the charge with a strong 4-1 overall record and a 4-1 conference mark. They’ve been making plays, like Jonah Fields on the opening kickoff and Jax Adams carrying the ball, as we saw against Republic in Week 3. Adam McKnight has been a key player for them too. It’s a tight race behind Nixa, with Glendale and Lebanon both sitting at 2-3 overall and in conference. Kickapoo and Ozark are trying to climb out of a 1-4 hole, while Waynesville is struggling to find their footing at 0-5.

This season is far from over, with four regular-season games still on the docket. Postseason seeding and those coveted conference titles? They’re all still very much up for grabs. Every single game from here on out is going to be massive for these teams looking to make a statement before the playoffs kick off.
