Swirling wind, untimely turnovers and endless penalties. Lee’s Summit West survived them all.

LS West is still alive and kicking after all that, pulling out a 37-30 double-overtime victory over Raymore-Peculiar in a Missouri Class 6 District 4 playoff game at LS West that featured more than its share of thrilling moments.

The Titans and Ray-Pec went into overtime tied 24-24 after LS West kicker Mykal Wiley missed a 32-yard field go with 3 seconds left. It was just one of many kicks affected by a stiff south wind.

Ray-Pec scored first in overtime on a 1-yard quarterback sneak by Noah Durham. The extra point, however, was thwarted by a bad snap.

Lee’s Summit West then scored on a 1-yard run by Marcian Marshall, and Wiley lined up for the game-winning point-after. The wind, however, pushed it just wide right.

Wiley nailed the PAT after LS West scored on the first possession of the second OT after 4-yard Sammy Cooper touchdown run.

Penalties backed up Ray-Pec’s final attempt, which ended with Vonzell Kelly’s interception in the end zone.

“We knew Ray-Pec was a different team from last time,” Lee’s Summit West quarterback Ben Kobel said. “We knew we were in for a tough fight.”

Lee’s Summit West scored first on a 26-yard field goal by Wiley set up by a blocked punt. Ray-Pec marched 79 yards to the Titans’ 1 on its next possession, but three penalties stalled the drive, which ended with a missed field goal.

LS West extended its lead to 10-0 on a spectacular 55-yard catch by Cade Clemons, who made a one-hand grab of Kobel’s throw down the middle under pressure.
