The Lady Zizzers added two more wins Saturday.
And their postseason résumé keeps getting harder to ignore.
West Plains came out of the Oct. 3 triangular at Webb City with a 3–0 win over Webb City and a 3–1 win over Colgan-Pittsburg, Kansas, improving to 24–1–1 on the season.
That record is the best overall mark currently listed among the eight teams in Class 4 District 6 on the official MSHSAA district page.
That does not make West Plains an official No. 1 seed.
But it does make the Lady Zizzers’ position worth watching closely as October moves toward district tournament time.
West Plains Has Built the Strongest Record in the District Field
MSHSAA currently lists the Class 4 District 6 field as:
- West Plains — 24–1–1
- Carl Junction — 15–9–4
- Willard — 10–12–1
- Logan-Rogersville — 9–11–2
- Hillcrest — 9–15–3
- Central (Springfield) — 3–21–3
- McDonald County — 3–20–2
- Parkview — 2–17–1
West Plains is not simply carrying the strongest overall record in that group.
The Lady Zizzers also already own wins over two teams they could see again in district play.
West Plains defeated Willard 2–0 during the West Plains Showdown on Sept. 12 and beat Logan-Rogersville 3–1 on Sept. 24.
Those results are already on the board.
And they matter when looking at what West Plains has accomplished against its own district field.
Saturday Added Two More Wins
The Lady Zizzers did not lose any ground Saturday.
West Plains swept Webb City 3–0, then followed it with a 3–1 victory over Colgan-Pittsburg to finish the triangular unbeaten.
The Webb City sweep came by set scores of 25–11, 25–16 and 25–22.
More importantly for the bigger picture, the two victories pushed West Plains from 22–1–1 entering Saturday to 24–1–1.
That is where the Lady Zizzers stand now.
Two District Opponents Still Ahead
There are still meaningful regular-season opportunities coming.
West Plains travels to Hillcrest on Oct. 8.
Then comes one of the most interesting matches left on the schedule: at Carl Junction on Oct. 15.
MSHSAA currently lists Carl Junction at 15–9–4, the second-strongest overall record on the District 6 page behind West Plains.
That makes the Oct. 15 trip to Carl Junction one of the remaining matches Zizzer fans should circle.
It gives West Plains another chance to add a head-to-head result against a district opponent before postseason play begins.
What This Means for the Lady Zizzers
There is an important distinction here.
West Plains has not been awarded a district seed yet, and a strong regular-season record does not automatically guarantee where the Lady Zizzers will be placed when the district bracket is set.
What we can say is this:
West Plains is 24–1–1.
No other Class 4 District 6 team currently has an overall record close to that mark on the MSHSAA district page.
The Lady Zizzers have already beaten Willard and Logan-Rogersville.
And they still have Hillcrest and Carl Junction ahead.
That is a strong postseason case built on actual results — not projection.
What to Watch Next
The next phase starts quickly.
West Plains is scheduled to play at Liberty (Mountain View) on Oct. 5, followed by Marshfield at home on Oct. 6 and the trip to Hillcrest on Oct. 8.
Then comes Carl Junction on Oct. 15.
The Class 4 District 6 Tournament is scheduled for Oct. 20–27.
There are still important matches ahead.
But at 24–1–1, with two more wins added Saturday and four district opponents either already beaten or still directly ahead on the schedule, West Plains has put itself in a very strong position heading into the final stretch of the regular season.
The Lady Zizzers have built the résumé.
Now comes the opportunity to carry that momentum into the final stretch.
