Zizzers Go 11-0 Defeating Sikeston 43-0
The Zizzers shutout the Sikeston Bulldogs at home with a 43-0 victory, giving the Zizzers a historical record of 11-0 for the season so far – and sending them to the Class 4 District 1 Championship game against 3rd seed Festus who had an upset victory over 2nd seed Farmington. Three Zizzers have set season records so far, and of course they will add to those numbers in the next game. QB Connor Rackley set the new Zizzer season...
Zizzers Advance To Districts Round Two, Defeating Cape Central 61-0
The Zizzers were the first seed in the Class 4 District 1 playoff bracket, which means they faced the bottom seed, Cape Central in round one of district play. The undefeated Zizzers forced a shut out even with second string and JV players taking over in the 3rd and 4th quarters. Final score: 61-0. We’ve never played in this district before and no one knows what to expect facing off against any of these teams. But the Zizzers...
Zizzers Are 8-0 After Defeating Central 70-8
On a wet, drizzly evening the Zizzers debuted brand new, all-black uniforms to a relatively small home crowd at the week 8 game against Central’s Bulldogs, defeating them 70-8 in what seemed like a mis-matched contest, leaving the Zizzers undefeated and the Bulldogs winless. And though the uniforms were new, the Zizzers were the same as they’ve been all season – dominating. By the end of the first half the Zizzers...
Zizzers Go 3-0 Defeating Camdenton 41-7
At week 3, the rankings are mostly best guesses, but the Zizzers were ranked Class 4 No. 6 and Camdenton was ranked No. 5. The Zizzers proved that those rankings early in the season are almost meaningless, handing the Lakers another defeat, 41-7. This win, takes the Zizzers to a 3-0 record for the season, and marks the 5th time we’ve defeated Camdenton out of the last 7 times we’ve played them (6 of those games on the...
Zizzers Defeat Bolivar 42-21, Advancing
Now that we’re in the post-season, every game is Live or Die. The Zizzers live to play another game by pounding Bolivar 42-21 with a record setting performance from sophomore Brayden Lidgard. But early mistakes allowed Bolivar to keep it close during the first half. We must clean up our sloppy mistakes to stand a chance against Carl Junction’s defense. You can do it Zizzers! First, kudos to sophomore Brayden Lidgard (and...
Zizzers Defeat Parkview 42-12, Improve to 6-2
After a rough first half, the Zizzers revved their engines in the 2nd half to defeat Parkview 42-12, improving their season record to 6-2. I don’t think anyone expected Parkview to win this week, given their 1-6 record coming in to the game. But at the end of the first half, the Vikings only trailed the Zizzers by 2 points (14-12 Zizzers). I don’t know about anyone else, but I fully expected the Zizzers to have 21 points...
