The playoffs began last night and many area teams are still in the hunt. Thanks to the fine folks at TheScoreboardGuy.com, OzarksSports.com and many other fine media outlets, even statewide, here is your playoff football scoreboard for the regional round. (And you know the drill, click on the link for the game story.)

If you haven’t heard, Webb City High School has suspended three of its football players for tonight’s Class 4 regional playoff game against Branson. Although their identities haven’t been confirmed, it’s considered to be three key players.

The News-Leader’s Michael Stacy has as much information as the Cardinals would let out here on his blog. What does this mean for the undefeated and defending champion Webb City? That is yet to be seen, but for what it’s worth, the Cardinals beat Branson 49-7 earlier this season and knocked off the Pirates twice last season, including this same regional round.

Still, it depends on who the players are and how severe the suspensions are.

If you’re curious about the rest of tonight’s schedule, click here. Be sure to check back later tonight with scores and in the morning for a feast of game story links.

I’ll save you all a trip to MSHSAA.org and consolidate the high school playoff football schedule. Classes 1-5 begin the regional round on Wednesday and Class 6 begins the sectional round Friday.
