Last Friday night I made it out to a high school football game between Rockhurst and Joplin. My friend Mike picked this game because both teams were then ranked in the top 10 teams in Missouri. However, the game was not nearly as entertaining as we had hoped. Rockhurst dominated the whole game and won 37-14, and trust me when I say that it wasn’t even that close.

Truth be told, the game was nowhere near as entertaining as you would find in Ohio. Add that to the list of things I miss about Ohio, good high school football. Take this weekend for example, my alma mater, Moeller will be facing off with St. Xavier tomorrow night in USA Today game of the week. Now I’m sure that is going to be a football game! St. X is ranked number nine in the country, and while Moeller may not be in the top 25, they are 1-1 this season against teams in the top 25. That’s right, they are playing three of the top 25 teams in the country in the same season. Go Big Moe!
