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...
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...
