Football Zizzers Narrowly Fall To Joplin 26-28, Season Record 4-1
It was a nail-biting, frustrating time at McDonald Field watching our previously undefeated Zizzers battle it out, trying desperately to earn a win against Class 6 Joplin to remain undefeated. But after some Zizzer mistakes and an obviously bad call from the officials, the game belonged to Joplin, even as the Zizzers mounted an amazing momentum-fueled drive during the final 50 seconds. The first half of the game belonged to the...
Zizzers Crush Glendale 42-18 at Home
We just weren’t sure where ‘home field’ was going to be for this game. Thankfully, the Zizzers got to play on their own turf at McDonald’s Stadium after flood damage ruined it earlier this year. And what a great way to “christen” the new field with a big win over Glendale (whose QB was last years Gatorade Player of the Year after throwing 76 touchdowns!) Last year Glendale’s QB was able to...
Zizzers Defeat Waynesville At Home 48 to 26
After a slow Zizzer start, a rainbow and a visit from the Zizzer mascot (lightning bolt), the Zizzers return from an hour-long weather delay to stage a massive, unanswered 34-point run to win the game at home! A strange start to the season, but a win is a win! It was a warm, humid evening as the Zizzers first game of the season opened up and a light rain began, eventually leading to a rare double rainbow at Zizzer stadium. But that...

Bolivar is ranked 10th in the state, and the Zizzers are ranked 8th, in Class 4. Both teams have impressive offensive weapons. But this game...
Zizzer Football Defeats Logan-Rogersville 61-6
Zizzer Varsity Football put a big smashdown on the Logan-Rogersville Wildcats 61-6. Coach Ary took out a bunch of his normal starters and put in several younger players who gained a ton of valuable experience. The varsity and JV cheerleaders united for an extra large cheer squad, while the Zizzer Pride Band played for the pre-game only. Due to the continued drizzle, the band opted to put up their equipment instead of playing for the...
