The Starting Lineup with Scott Puryear, Ned Reynolds, and Art Hains dives into a massive week in the sports world, from college bowl buzz to a historic moment for Nixa football. With bowl announcements dropping Sunday at 11 AM, Art breaks down why the timing matters and how it positions the NCAA against NFL pregame programming. From SEC showdowns to Big Ten predictions, the guys deliver sharp takes and plenty of playful disagreement on who’s covering, who’s slipping, and who’s coaching their last game.

But the heart of the episode belongs to Nixa. As the Eagles gear up for their second straight Class 6 State Championship appearance, Coach John Perry joins the show to talk game prep, mental toughness, weather strategy, ball control, team culture, and the comeback story looming on the other sideline. With insights on leadership, legacy, and how Nixa has transformed under his direction, this episode gives fans a powerful inside look at a program on the cusp of history, without spoiling the biggest surprises Perry shared.
