Cassville heads to Monett for annual rivalry
Cassville football players will need little motivation this week. Friday’s regular-season finale is one of the biggest games on the schedule — the annual Barry County Brawl against Monett.

‘FutBrawl’ lives up to name
It’s one of the most widespread superstitions in soccer — a 2-goal lead is the worst lead to have. The Cassville boys soccer team (9-9-1 as of Friday) took a 2-0 lead into halftime against Monett Thursday in front of a record crowd, but ultimately allowed the Cubs to tie, and Monett’s goalkeeper saved a shot to hand the Wildcats a 3-2 loss on penalty kicks.

Getting back to the basics was the ticket to success for Cassville last week, and the Wildcats are hoping to take some confidence and momentum from a 45-0 win over Springfield Catholic back home for Senior nigh and a matchup with Lamar.
