26-game win streak on the line as Cardinals take on Carthage

Carthage is the last team to beat Webb City High School in football.
The Tigers pulled out a 23-22 victory on Nov. 7, 2007, in the first round of the MSHSAA Class 4 playoffs.
They’ve lost two games in a row to the Cardinals during the regular season since the cliffhanger that was decided by Stephen Poston’s late field goal.
Ninth-ranked Big Blue (9-2) visits top-ranked Webb City (11-0) tonight in a second-round game of the playoffs with kickoff scheduled at 7 in Cardinal Stadium.
Webb City, defending Class 4 champion, puts a 26-game winning streak on the line.
Webb City, buoyed by a strong first half, opened its District 4-12 schedule on Oct. 16 by beating visiting Carthage 35-14.
Said Carthage coach Jon Guidie: “We need to play a lot better than the last time. We didn’t move the ball well enough in the first half and the defense had to play too many snaps.”
Guidie believes that Carthage had three turnovers in the earlier game and Webb City four.
“But field position (providing Webb City a short field) ... especially early — was a factor in the first game,” Guidie said.
Carthage earned the shot at Webb City last Wednesday night by winning 39-36 at Neosho on Derek Peterson’s 14-yard pass to Trevor Hole with two seconds left to cap a six-play, 75-yard drive in less than a minute.
It was a game film that Webb City coaches — and probably its players — eagerly wanted to watch.
Said Webb City coach John Roderique: “It was quite an exciting game. It was wild.”
Carthage players surely lured some non-believers into their camp with the comeback.
