MISSOURI

Blue Springs vs Lee’s Summit North
The Broncos beat Blue Springs for the first time in 27 tries last year. Will they catch Blue Springs in a letdown game after the Rockhurst win? Or will the Wildcats avenge last year’s loss. Feels like LS North is a shade lighter on offense than last year, and Blue Springs D is pretty good.
Winner: Blue Springs

Lee’s Summit West at Blue Springs South
Jaguars seeking first win, and this would be a good one. But will have to wait one more week.
Winner: Lee’s Summit West

Park Hill at Liberty North
Battle of two undefeateds in the Northland. Eagles resurgent, but the Park Hill defense arguably best in the city.
Winner: Park Hill

Staley at Lee’s Summit
Tigers got a nice blowout win last week. Staley did the same – at Kearney.
Winner: Staley

Liberty at Truman
Jays get back on track at Truman.
Winner: Liberty

St. Joe Central at Park Hill South
Panthers looked brutal in 35-0 loss at Ray-Pec in Week One. Suddenly, will be 2-1.
Winner: Park Hill South

Belton at Fort Osage
Didn’t think be two 0-2 teams facing off. Fort has to get this one at home, right?
Winner: Fort Osage

North Kansas City at Ruskin
Eagles playing better this year, but Hornets will break a couple off that Ruskin can’t counter.
Winner: North Kansas City

William Chrisman at Oak Park
Northmen with a big-time win last week vs Raytown. But Chrisman has played respectably against two Top 20 teams.
Winner: William Chrisman

Raytown South at Raytown
Dunno what got into Raytown last week, but they get up for their rival.
Winner: Raytown

Smithville at Grain Valley
Another battle of 2-0 teams. Don’t know if Eagles have the offense to keep up with Smithville.
Winner: Smithville

Grandview at Winnetonka
Tonka looking to go to 3-0!
Winner: Winnetonka

Kearney at Platte County
Not often facing after one took a loss. And both off a loss? When that last happen? As for the game, until Platte County shows they can beat Kearney…
Winner: Kearney

BV Northwest at Harrisonville
The Wildcats got through their run of top 10 state foes. Should get the W.
Winner: Harrisonville

Both improved this year.

Bulldogs rolling along.
Winner: Odessa

Sedalia Smith-Cotton at Warrensburg
Da Burg
Winner: Warrensburg

Raymore-Peculiar at Rockhurst
Big test for where Ray-Pec stands after a 2-0 start. May have been better to catch Rock after a loss, and also Coach Sev’s first home game on the farewell tour.
