Preview, Brackets of Jewell Classic's Cardinal

Blue Jays, Grandview Eye Rematch

The William Jewell Classic tips ahead in Liberty, and the No. 1 seeded Blue Jays should enjoy a nice home crowd in quest for the Cardinal Division title. The guard play led by Jalen Lewis and a strong inside presence from Clayton Adams has led the way for No. 6 Liberty (7-0).

The Blue Jays have started the year undefeated, including winning the CNB Invitational in Leavenworth over Park Hill South, and an impressive win vs Top 10 foe Grandview a week ago.

However, it its likely a rematch is in order, as Grandview should get an easy time over Truman before a fun battle for Jordan Lathon (18.0 ppg) and the Bulldogs with St. Joe Central, which poses a strong guard tandem in seniors Matt Austin (19.5 ppg) and Jaiden Bristol (17.3 ppg).

Best potential semifinal: No. 7 Grandview (5-1) vs No. 20 St. Joe Central (8-1)

Sleeper: Lee's Summit

Predicted final: Liberty vs Grandview
