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...
Zizzer Football Goes 4-0 After Defeating Hillcrest 42-6
The Zizzers traveled to Hillcrest to take on the Hornets on their home turf, looking to take their season to 4-0 – and they did it! The Hornets came into this game with a 2-1 record with a big win over former passing powerhouse Glendale recently. But the Zizzer defense kept the Hornets contained for most of the game allowing only 6 points – and the Zizzer defense had to work hard to keep it that way. The scoreboard makes...
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 Surge To Defeat Camdenton 25 to 24
It’s never fun to travel to Camdenton to take on the Lakers on their turf. Most teams that do so leave with their heads low and their tails dragging. And for the last 2 years, every time the Zizzer varsity football team has played in Lakers’ territory, we’ve managed to pull off a one point victory riding the clock down to zero, biting our nails the whole time. And this day would be no different! What are the odds of...
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...
Zizzer Football Crushes Bolivar in Districts Round 2
Congrats to Zizzer Football for crushing Bolivar at Districts Round 2 and advancing to Round 3 against Webb City. According to the record books, Bolivar and West Plains should have had a closer game than they did. Until facing the Zizzers, Bolivar’s record was the same as the Zizzers: 9-1. 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...
