This is the final week of the regular season and your Blue Jays will be hosting the Mount Vernon Mountaineers.
Marshfield comes into this one with a record of 3-5. Mount Vernon started out the season 4-0 but has lost their last 4 to enter this game with a 4-4 record. Note: In Week 3 Mt Vernon lost one of the best football players in the state due to injury. Rafe Darter was lost for the season with a knee injury.

Here are the current District Standings:
| 1 | West Plains | 8–0 | 55.9 | Bolivar (6-2) |
| 2 | Carl Junction | 3–5 | 40.16 | Ozark (5-3) |
| 3 | Logan-Rogersville | 6–2 | 36.81 | Reeds Spring (2-5) |
| 4 | McDonald County | 4–3 | 32.85 | Cassville (6-2) |
| 5 | Marshfield | 3–5 | 28.58 | Mt. Vernon (4-4) |
| 6 | Hillcrest | 1–7 | 27.53 | Kickapoo (3-4) |
| 7 | Monett | 2–5 | 20.71 | Seneca (2-5) |
It appears that West Plains has the #1 Seed and the BYE locked up. They will not have to play in Week 10.
Everyone else will play in Week 10 with the
#2 Seed hosting the # 7 Seed
#3 Seed will host the # 6 Seed.
and the # 4 Seed will play host to the #5 Seed.
If Marshfield gets the win over Mt Vernon and Cassville takes care of McDonald County then it is mathematically possible that the Jays could host Mac County in Week 10. Lets hope we do. If Marshfield has to travel to MAC County – they do not have a press box making calling the game near impossible.
