Week One: 15-4
Rockhurst at Blue Springs
The crown jewel of Kansas City annual matchups, and this one will be no different in Coach Severino's last season. Rock State got Blue Springs twice last year - but both at Dasta Stadium. The series returns to Peve Stadium this year and both teams lost key players, but return solid casts. Will side with revenge in a one-score game.
Winner: Blue Springs
Blue Springs South at Raymore-Peculiar
The Jags played well in the head coaching debut of Matt Klein, losing late to No. 9 Raytown. Ray-Pec mauled beleaguered Park Hill South. In end, Luke Grimm makes a game-changing play for a narrow Ray-Pec win.
Winner: Ray-Pec
St. Joe Central at Lee’s Summit North
Indians get the Broncos after a tough road loss to open the year. Not pretty.
Winner: Lee’s Summit North
Fort Osage at Lee’s Summit West
Both teams combined for six total points in Week One. Expect the Titans to be better in this battle of big names.
Winner: Lee’s Summit West
Park Hill at Liberty
Liberty had Park Hill’s number last year. Both return very good defenses and potential offenses. Leaning towards Park Hill, with a tad better defense and revenge on the mind.
Winner: Park Hill
Lee’s Summit at Belton
Both suffered tough losses in Week One. Tigers should notch the first win of the year though.
Winner: Lee’s Summit
Liberty North at Truman
Eagles had the biggest eye-opener in Week One, beating Lee’s Summit North. They’ll keep it going at Truman.
Winner: Liberty North
Platte County at Park Hill South
Shouldn’t be a problem for Pirates.
Winner: Platte County
Staley at Kearney
Man, how many good games are there on Friday? This should be another. Really want to pick Kearney, but the line and defense of Staley may be a grade better.
Winner: Staley
William Chrisman at North Kansas City
Coin flip.
Winner: North Kansas city
Raytown at Oak Park
Jays shouldn’t have any troubles here.
Winner: Raytown
Ruskin at Smithville
Neither should the Warriors.
Winner: Smithville
Grain Valley at Grandview
Another toss-up, but going with the Eagles.
Winner: Grain Valley
Winnetonka at Raytown South
Both teams undefeated! Liking Tonka’s offense and lots of returning talent.
Winner: ‘Tonka Tough
Excelsior Springs at St. Joe Benton
Tigers should run past Benton
Winner: Excelsior Springs
Maryville at Harrisonville
Both teams ran into buzzsaws and possible state champs in Blair Oaks and Kearney. HVille took a big loss last year at Maryville. Just for fun…
Winner: Harrisonville
Oak Grove at Blair Oaks
Tigers enjoyed a fun win last Friday. But if Maryville wasn’t ready for Blair Oaks, don’t know if OG is either.
Winner: Blair Oaks
Warrensburg at Marshall
Going Da ‘Burg, just so I could write that.
Winner: Warrensburg
Bishop Ward at Summit Christian
Like what Summit Christian has going
Winner: SCA
Van Horn at Butler
Going Falcons
Winner: Van Horn
University Academy at Pembroke Hill
Should be a fun game
Winner: Pembroke Hill
St. Thomas Aquinas at Blue Valley
Aquinas lost some key pieces from last year’s team. Blue Valley healthy. Will be close, but…
Winner: St. Thomas Aquinas
BV North at Bishop Miege
Man, talk about some offensive weaponry on both sides. Still, it’s Miege, who romped North WITH Graham Mertz.
Winner: Bishop Miege
BV West at Mill Valley
Another toss up. Can just say Jaguars win?
Winner: Blue Valley West
St. James Academy at BV Northwest
Thunder looking for best year in school history.
Winner: St. James
Shawnee Mission East at Gardner-Edgerton
Blazers have Lancers number recently, and return best team in awhile.
Winner: G-E
Olathe West at Free State
Really liking Free State this year.
Winner: Free State
Olathe South at Lawrence
Another up in the air game in week one.
Winner: Olathe South
Olathe East at Olathe North

Manhattan at Olathe Northwest
Indians drive home with a W.
Winner: Manhattan
SM North at SM South
Raiders…
Winner: SM South
SM West at SM Northwest
If Vikings can contain the passing attack of Cougars, will be in the mix. But…
Winner: SM Northwest
Blue Valley Southwest at Lansing
Can Lions handle the passing attack? Sure, why not.
Winner: Lansing
Basehor-Linwood at Tonganoxie
Fun rivalry about 9 minutes apart. Hard to go against Bobcats.
Winner: Basehor-Linwood
Leavenworth at De Soto
Wildcats looking strong for UKC.
