It had been since September 30, 2005 that Kirkwood had tasted defeat in the Suburban West Conference as they fell to Parkway South on that day 24-21. On Friday, it was the same Patriot team that handed the Pioneers a Sub West defeat 22-13. First of all, Congrats to Coach Larry Frost and Kirkwood for their long string of wins! The South win was "iced" by the 67 yard run by Kevon McGrew at the 3:57 mark of the final quarter. South was able to hold the Pioneer offense to just 1 of 9, 3rd down conversions for the game! What do you Pioneer & Patriot fans think about the string and the win?

Who needs the pass game says Chillicothe ?  The 3-0 Hornets rushed for 409 yards as they whipped the previoulsy unbeaten Grain Valley Eagles (2-1) 48-16. Sure the Hornets can pass...they were 3 for 3 in the pass game.

Hornet fans.. your thoughts bryans@prepcasts.com

It sounded easy... Timberland's 48-14 win over St Charles West. It some ways it was....Montee Ball plays just slightly more than half the game and scores 6...yes 6!...touchdowns.  Actually with about 2:40 remaining in 1st half, the score was 21-14 Timberland as SCW had Brannon Champagne run back a long KO return for 1 TD and catch a QB throwback pass for another. Suddenly, the Warriors fumbled twice and failed to jump on a KO around the 20 yard line so the Wolves pounded three quick scores over the goal line and the game was OVER. This flurry took about 90 seconds of game time!

Fans, tell us about Montee & the Wolves as well as Brannon & SCW at bryan@prepcasts.com

What's that?  The only unbeaten class 6 teams on the eastern side of MO--- well how about Hazelwood West and Lindbergh !! Something tells me that Vegas didn't have the odds in the preseason for these early records! Congrats to both schools for their quick starts! Lindbergh will be on this Friday against the NW Lion on www.prepcasts.com.

One school that never seems to think that a game is OVER (til its OVER) is the Holt Indians(3-0). In week 2, Holt trailed Troy 21-zip in the 2nd quarter when a late FG seemed to spark the Indians. Two TD's on interceptions turned the tide for a 24-21 win #2 . On Friday, Holt fell behind the Howell Vikings 20-7 at half and still were looking at a 27-14 after 3 quarters. A terrific 4th quarter of 3 unanswered scored pushed Holt to 3-0 for the season as they won 34-27. Congrats to Coach Shields for instilling this great attitude ! What do you Holt fans think after your Indians were 2-8 last year ? Let me know bryan@prepcasts.com

Another team making a name for itself is the Raytown South Cardinals. Now 3-0 in the always tough Suburban Mid-6 of KC, the Cardinals must deal with the Lee Summit West Titans and Belton Pirates (both State Championship caliber teams of 2007) in the upcoming weeks.

In week 2, Blue Springs South pulled off a tremendous comeback and a late FT to tie the game in regulation and  to beat Park Hill (read blog of Sep 8) in OT. This week, BSS was following the same script. Falling behind, rallying and then turning to kicker Brian Geraghty for a 10 yard field goal attempt with only 10 ticks left on the clock. However, the Ray-Pec Panthers (3-0) spoiled the plot by blocking the FG and winning a thrilling 20-19 game!  Fans... tell us your thoughts on that game at bryan@prepcasts.com

If you didn't believe it before... the Gateway Tech Jaguars are for real. Losing last week to highly ranked Helias, the Jags beat a strong Jackson Indian team 14-7 with a dominant defense and some electrifying running by soph Anthony Pierson (2 TD- 65 yd run and 40 yd pass). This week the Jags will face the Rough Riders of Roosevelt High School !

Blue Springs (3-0) isn't ducking anybody. After beating Lee Summit West by a single point 36-35 in the opener. This week the Wildcats upended defending class 6 state champion, Rockhurst 28-21. Coming up is the Ray-Pec Panthers, class 5 powerhouse,  and their huge intra-district rival--Blue Springs South. It should be great football...Wildcat fans...send me your thoughts at bryan@prepcasts.com
