MISSOURI
Park Hill at Staley
Big battle for Northland braggin’ rights (aside from being second to Liberty North). Should be another defensive struggle, but sticking with Park Hill.
Winner: Park Hill
Blue Springs South at Park Hill South
Jaguars got on the board two weeks ago, and nearly beat Park Hill last week. Feels like BSS is starting to turn a corner.
Winner: Blue Springs South
Liberty North at Lee’s Summit
The new No. 1 team against the Tigers, winners of three straight. After multiple big wins, will the Eagles have a falloff game? Why not…
Winner: Lee’s Summit
Liberty at St. Joe Central
A trip to St. Joe seems to cure everyone’s woes this year. Or in this case, two in a row for Jays.
Winner: Liberty
Lee’s Summit West at Blue Springs
Amazing – one of these teams will end Friday on a three-game losing streak.
Winner: Blue Springs
Raymore-Peculiar at Lee’s Summit North
Panthers surging at the right time, in all facets of the game. Just can’t get high on their horse.
Winner: Ray-Pec
Hickman at Truman
What’s up with that Kewpie logo anyway?
Winner: Hickman
Raytown at Belton
Bluejays should get back in the W column.
Winner: Raytown
Fort Osage at William Chrisman
Another battle for Independence, going to …
Winner: Fort Osage
Oak Park at North Kansas City
Can rival Oak Park blemish NKC’s undefeated season? Unless Jeremy Brown or Brandon Hall transfers to OP tonight, doubtful.
Winner: Northtown
Grain Valley at Ruskin
GV feeling pretty good, and will again Friday.
Winner: Grain Valley
Raytown South at Kearney
Normally an easy W for Kearney. While not a normal KHS season, still should be a victory.
Winner: Kearney
Winnetonka at Platte County
Tonka catches PC at a bad time. After a loss… returning home… watch out!
Winner: Platte County
Grandview at Smithville
Bulldogs aren’t an easy out, but Warriors should take care of business.
Winner: Smithville
Warrensburg at Excelsior Springs
Two teams off to hot starts, and then a brick wall.
Winner: Excelsior Springs
Harrisonville at Oak Grove
Ever think after an 0-4 start, that with a win Friday, Harrisonville would be facing Odessa with a 4-0 league mark and playing for the league title? But could be…
Winner: Harrisonville
Pleasant Hill at Odessa
Bulldogs just a powerhouse in MVRC West, and Class 3.
Winner: Odessa
Savannah at Maryville
Spoofhounds!

CBC at Rockhurst
Could be a tough ending for Sev’s final home game at Dasta Stadium.

Schlagle vs Washington
Battle for KC!
Winner: Schlagle
BV Southwest vs BV West
Jaguars should take it with ease.
Winner: BV West
Friday
Mill Valley at Blue Valley
How will Blue Valley react after a big loss at Miege? A win over Mill Valley be a big way to feel good ahead. Meanwhile, Mill Valley can feel real good heading into playoffs with a win too.
Winner: Blue Valley
BV Northwest at BV North
Mustangs need to show some signs they are awakening before 6A playoffs. Getting two wins in a row will help that.
Winner: BV North
St. James Academy at Kapaun Mt. Carmel
KMC never an easy foe. But unless the bus ride zaps the Thunder, SJA returns up I-35 pretty happy.
Winner: St. James Academy
St. Thomas Aquinas at Bishop Miege
Big one of the night for sure. A healthier Miege than last year’s blowout loss. Aquinas doesn’t have the same offensive line either. All that said…
Winner: St. Thomas Aquinas
Lawrence at Olathe North
The other monster matchup in Kansas. Both teams undefeated in Sunflower League play. Going with Eagles.
Winner: Olathe North
SM Northwest at Gardner-Edgerton
It’s one after another for big clashes in JoCo. The pass vs the run. Ehhhh… going with the ground game.
Winner: Gardner-Edgerton
SM East at Free State
Lancers starting to play a big better. But still going with Free State.
Winner: Free State
Olathe East at Pittsburg
Hawks should enjoy the bus ride home.
