CBC vs Blue Springs
Wildcats were there last year, and won't be awed by the game. And gotta be a homer, right?
Winner: Blue Springs
Platte County at Webb City
Love the Pirates rolling along, but Webb is a tough place to win. Okay, tough anywhere.
Winner: Webb City
Carthage at Staley
Carthage at Staley? Really? Any questions here?
Winner: Staley
KANSAS
Blue Valley North at Blue Valley
Hard to dispute against North on a roll and with Mertz, never out of the game if somehow behind. But seen a lot of BV magic at home over the years, including last year's two-point conversion to send the Tigers to state on the final play of the game.
Winner: Blue Valley
Mill Valley at St. Thomas Aquinas
Hard to pick against the two-time defending champs, who have the Saints number in the playoffs. But third time is a charm for Aquinas.
Winner: St. Thomas Aquinas
Bishop Miege at Desoto
If there's a chance for Miege to get beat, it's playing a team who's already seen them - and at home. But until the KSHSAA structure is changed, Miege in the 4A playoffs by 28 points - minimum.
Winner: Bishop Miege
