Week 3: 23-7
Season: 50-14 (78.1%)

Blue Springs at Park Hill
The Trojans have averaged nearly 50 ppg – how can they be stopped? Meanwhile, Blue Springs has given up just 35 points all year – how can they be scored upon?
Generally the better defense wins out in such clashes. Tough to go against the Trojans, but…
Winner: Blue Springs

Staley at Blue Springs South
Staley has been rolling through opponents, by an average of 52-20. The Jags have given up an average of 37 ppg. Easy math here.
Winner: Staley

Rock Bridge at Lee’s Summit
This is a wild pick, but the Tigers have faced Blue Springs, Park Hill and Fort Osage. That’s a gauntlet. So the No. 7 team in Class 6 is a break? Actually, yeah.
Winner: Lee’s Summit

Lee’s Summit North at Lee’s Summit West
Broncos offense has flourished,  but the West defense is pretty strong. Again, going defense vs offense.
Winner: LS West

Ray-Pec at Rockhurst
Week One – Ray-Pec 1-0, Rockhurst 0-1. Since: 0-2 and 2-0. Going different directions.
Winner: Rockhurst

Liberty North at Truman
The Eagles face their old assistant at Truman in Charlie Pugh, in a battle of two coaches looking for their first win at their new schools. But its Greg Jones notching his first win.
Winner: Liberty North

Raytown at Liberty

Grandview at William Chrisman
Going with Chrisman’s D

I liked HVille to get revenge after a big loss at PC last year. But the Pirates have just a bit more offense than the Cats can keep up with.
