"To get a state championship, it would mean the world to me. Ever since I was little, every time I looked out here, I was like, 'I want to play'," Brad said. "I finally get that shot and I've succeeded. To finish it with a state title would be awesome."

The Good with the Bad
District rematches remain a sore spot.

The first week of the new high school football playoff format weeded out a few of the postseason pretenders.

Five area teams bit the dust - four by margins larger than 27 points! - leaving five squads left to represent the Tribune’s coverage area.

On Friday in a Class 6 quarterfinal, fifth-ranked Fort Zumwalt West (9-2) meets fourth-ranked Jefferson City (8-2) in a district rematch of a game the Jays won 56-55 on Oct. 24 in O’Fallon.

The potential for rematches between district champions and district runner-ups in the second round of the playoffs was a common complaint by opponents of the new system, and it will be a common theme this week.
