Webster Groves beats Lindbergh in a last second touchdown and now on a four-game winning streak. Down a key player, undefeated St. Charles West battled Cape Central in a heart-stopper.

John recalls his experience at Rams Stadium grand opening. East St. Louis barely takes down another Chicago school while Marquette defeats Kirkwood for the first time. CBC and sophomore quarterback Ayden Robinson-Wayne defeated Chaminade and showed how capable he already is. Lutheran St. Charles state their intentions with a big victory over fellow St. Charles County private school rival, Living Word Christian. Additional games from week three are discussed. Not much changes from the top 10 power rankings and games of the week are previewed, including De Smet vs CBC, the game of the year.

Gateway Schalors Classic at East St. Louis is reviewed. Cardinal Ritter is the new top team in the small schools after defeating Lutheran North 27-13 and one of the best in the area. The Eastside Flyers shutout Trinity 32-0. A couple of moves take place in the power rankings. Top games of the week. John can't wait to witness and film the first ever night game in Ladue history. Fan questions are answered.
The opening week was a roller coaster ride with the rain being present all across metro St. Louis causing several postponements. Cardinal Ritter upsets No. 1 school in Chicago, Nazareth Academy and Michigan commit J.J. McCarthy. John is skeptical if Nazareth is as good as Chicago says they are. Top 10 overall rankings. East St. Louis topples other highly ranked Chicago school, Batavia on the road. Despite no Antonio Doyle and Travion Ford, Lutheran North defeats Trinity again at LeMothe Field and shuts down the supposed high flying offense leaving the guys to wonder if the Titans aren't the same team compared to the last couple of years or just a one off performance. Fort Zumwalt West shocks Eureka on a last second touchdown pass as did MICDS in the bootheel of Missouri. Fort Zumwalt North proved their worth early by taking down Francis Howell. SLUH outlasts Battle in a Columbia shootout. Edwardsville and Ladue receive victories despite not playing one full quarter. Kirkwood scores 61 points on Jefferson City with new quarterback Kannon Nesslage chasing history in his first ever start. Week two games are previewed including the Gateway Scholars Classic at East St. Louis on Saturday.
The guys discuss the transfer of Teriyon "Mookie" Cooper from Trinity to Pattonville with only days before the regular season begins and what the impact could be for both schools. Breakdown top 10 overall rankings and top 10 games of the week, while picking the winners. Questions from the @GSV_STL Twitter page are answered.
John recalls what he saw and recorded at the Parkway North jamboree where gun shots were reportedly heard and has made national headlines as well as the tragic Soldan jamboree shootings. The guys then go over the 2019 MSHSAA class and district assignments and break down where the top area teams in each class could potentially play down the road.
Review Top 15 overall schools and talk about the the prospects of Vianney, Fort Zumwalt North, and Chaminade. Debate who the top quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers are in St. Louis. The guys have differing opinions and the rankings criticism on social media is brought up.
With 55 days left until week one of the 2019 season begins, the guy's breakdown the top 15 overall rankings in the St. Louis area and have some disagreements. How good is De Smet? Is CBC still a top dog? Who will be Trinity's new quarterback? Can't help up but talk a little about Lutheran North vs Trinity in week one as well. Later on, key offseason transfers and top 10 sophomores are discussed.
