• If everything goes right and the Dogs pull together and shoot lights out, they will hopefully score at least 40.

  I think Sikeston wins it though I guarantee they don't come in to this game playing cocky. Each of the last two seasons they have fallen flat on the road in a game they could have won (PB in 09, Cape last year). Bluff has been on a decent streak, and everybody knows about how "honest" the referees in Bluff can be. In the end, I say Sikeston wins by 15-20.

• I believe that the boys have a different perspective this year. THey have taken no one for granted and approached each game with the same intensity. Yes, they have appeared flat sometimes, but that is to be expected from time to time. Poplar Bluff will be tough and give the Bulldogs a good game. In the end, the swarming, relentless defense and the ever improving bench will wear them down and pull away in the second half. Seems to be sounding repetitive, but they just are consistent with their pressure.

• Guys I'm a PB fan and last game we lost our best player/leading scorer Jake white due to an ankle injury and he most likely won't be back untill districts... We have trouble scoring enough as it is and I think he is averaging around 16-17 so losing that will be a HUGE blow ... Ike anders is our only other player who any offensive game at all, after those two we have no one .. So without Jake against Sikeston we will most likely get beat in the 25-35 range .. Even if we had Jake fully healthy I say we would still lose by 10-20

• I hate to hear that about Jake. He is a great kid and has great parents. I was looking forward to cheering for him....obviously keeping it to myself and my wife...since we are Dogs fans:-)!! I couldn't let the PB faithful see me secretly cherring for one of their own!! Just kidding....like I said....Jake is a great basketball player and better kid. I wish him all of the best and good luck in districts!! Beat Cape!!

• What's this? A thread about Sikeston vs. Poplar Bluff? They play tonight? Wow, this was the best kept secret in sports. I thought Sikeston played Cape. That's all anybody talks about.

• sideline starter...what do you mean by how "honest" the refs in bluff can be? it's not like they are from pb. they are assigned by an association. for any given game, they are from all parts of southeast missouri.

• Rocket you need to starighten ol' sideline out! The refs may spot him and throw him out before game time!Ha!

  No disrespect toward refs in general. There is just one crew I've seen when watching games in Bluff a couple of times that didn't call everything both ways. Apparently, I'm the only one who has noticed this so maybe it was just circumstances of when I was there. Are you implying that you may be doing the game tonight, semo ref?

• I'll keep him in line, semo ref. HaHa! Are you calling tonight?
