Webb City Football Story and 2012 fall schedules

The Webb City High School football program won its first state championship in 1989. Including that season through 2011, the Cardinals have played in 12 of the last 23 class 4 state championship games, winning 10 of those 12. Nine of the 10 titles were the culmination of undefeated seasons and 6 of the 10 came in pairs ('92 & '93, '00 & '01,and '10 & '11). These championship titles have become more frequent lately as Webb City has won 6 of the last 12, 4 of the last 6, and 3 of the last 4. Since Webb City's last regular season loss in 2003, the Cardinals have won 81 consecutive regular season games. Over the past 8 seasons, the Cardinals have lost a total of 4 games, all playoff games, and 3 of the 4 to the eventual class 4 champions. Although Webb City has produced a handfull of division 1 college standouts, the Webb City football program is not known for its individual star players, but rather for its depth and its discipline. It has been said that other teams may have some athletes, but Webb brings them in waves and they know their jobs. What they may lack in height and weight, they make up for in strength, speed, and smarts. The current head coach is John Roderique, who has coached the past 15 seasons and has compiled a 178-18 record over those 15 seasons.
