Last week was definitely a successful one for Webb City High School athletics.
For starters, two members of the girls golf team, Sarah Oathout and Sydney French, represented Webb City at the state girls golf tournament on Monday and Tuesday, ending the season alongside the state’s best.
On Tuesday, Webb City’s boys swim team won the Central Ozark Conference meet in convincing fashion. The Cardinals compiled 338 points, with Ozark a distant second with 208.
Next, the Webb City boys cross country team captured the COC championship for the seventh straight season by edging rival Carthage for the top spot.
The school’s top-ranked softball team recorded a 7-3 Class 4 quarterfinal win over Bolivar on Thursday in front of a huge crowd on the hill.
Two days later, the Cardinals earned a dominating 10-2 win over Platte County in the semifinals to advance to the program’s first state championship game since 2013.
Before they host this week’s district tournament, Webb City’s volleyball team defeated rival Carthage last Tuesday to end the regular-season on a high note.
Not to be forgotten, Webb City’s football team rolled to a 55-0 win over Willard on Friday in the regular-season finale at Cardinal Stadium. The defending state champion Cardinals locked up a first-round bye for the playoffs with the lopsided win. It was the team’s eighth straight win.
With that, it was a memorable week in Webb City.
“It was a great week and I’m just so proud of all of our programs, our coaches and our kids,” Webb City football coach and athletics director John Roderique said. “It was a phenomenal week for our school, so we’re really proud.”
