Impact of the class 1 cap

DESE numbers for the Kearney Middle and Junior High...if you just average them...the next 4 years will be zero growth for KHS. From 815-845 on the three grade reading every year.
Truman and Chrisman are interesting. The feeder for Chrisman has 800+ for 7th and 8th and jumped tremendously in the last 5 years and would appear to have as many students as Truman's feeder, but somehow they remained in C5 for basketball and whatever similar class for wrestling, etc until this year. Strange coincidence I'm sure that the superintendent's youngest son who was a basketball star graduated last year. LOL.
I've heard they house all their ESL students at Truman which keeps Van Horn and Chrisman numbers lower but pushes Truman up a class.
How did Staley stay C5 for so long? That campus is the biggest campus I've seen in the state and now is even bigger. Didn't the students have a choice to attend there if they could transport themselves?
You have Lees Summit that has an Online Academy (that I think many will copy). I wonder if that becomes "housed" at North by Mozee or maybe Horn can convince them to let him take over the program and run it from West.
St.Joe needs to come up with something.
If you aren't being creative, you aren't trying!

Well, it was before when Kearney went to the Class 5 semis in 2013. 6-0 versus C5 opponents last year.
On that subject what are prospects for Platte County and Fort Osage this year? I know the latter returns one of the best RBs in the Metro.
Platte County...losing some talent, big time.
Salzman - Going to Arkansas State. Hurt early in the Smithville game. Out for the season. Great athlete.
What a strange season. Loaded with talent. Got slobberknockered by Kearney in the 2nd half of game 1. (just like Smithville did with the TE running over them) Then PC got beat down and injured by Smithville in game two. Seems like the wheels fell off after that with injuries. Really good talent on this team.

Does last year count? They beat a healthy Platte county before they lost Arkansas States' Salzman. 6-0?
Anthony Thompson is coming back. Led the state in tackles as a sophomore. Losing Roman Tillmon in the secondary is a tough loss on defense. Bransteitter is irreplaceable.
The OLine will be fine by season's end. They will be a more athletic type of line from the looks of it.
Losing the arm of Menne and the elusiveness of Fenner is the biggest issue. Coming up with some new looks on offense is crucial. Every team will put 8 in the box if they know Peppers and any other RB are going to get the ball every time. I would think they would shift to using tight ends to counter that and the fact you don't have the deep ball threat of Menne.
Five solid months away as it is will bet the farm the programs endure i.e. Fort and Smithville will both be kinda green and figuring things out early then be very tough outs come November when all this really counts.
Yes I know SVille is C4 but there is a commonality I like to point out especially since Kearney catches them both early again this season.
Which STL privates will be Class 4? Kearney is all but staying put no matter what they do with the Class numbers. Nobody was more excited than me those amazing opening three weeks last year but will that turbo loss to Smithville in the District final carry over? I privately expected Smithville to win that rematch but never, ever thought by 36. To start talking State title trust me that road still goes through our Green and White neighbors to the west returning numbers notwithstanding.
I don't read too much into a five-turnover loss, or six, I lost count, including a scoop and score. It does go through Smithville yes, when K beats them soundly in the regular season this year at Smithville. Along with bringing back almost all the starters, K also benefits from a vastly superior junior class. A soft schedule does no good for anyone though.

We shall see. They sure owe Smithville for some major beatings on that field the past few years.
Smithville came in with lots more focus and energy. No sub for experience. K actually caught them totally off guard third offensive play and that seemed to be the major fuel.
The personnel gap, position to position, will be too much to overcome. These are two classes, especially the junior class next year, that have dominated since youth, and not just in football.
I could see this Week 3 at Smithville but, man, do the Warriors have lots of kids out plus I still think there can be a jump in performance once kids are coached by the Varsity staff. Make no mistake Kearney is absolutely on track to do huge things but Smithville will look much better/different come playoff time.
Again, strong senior class at SV. Were good, but outshined by the previous two classes. Not so for the next two classes. Not to mention a three-year starting QB gone, as well as the entire O line, and all but four all-conf players. K comes back with 85% of their starters from classes that have dominated for years. Not happening bro.
After a 6 year playoff drought and some of the other class 4 contenders moving up, Joey might finally get to beat his chest a little.
Assuming they make it out of districts of course.
Hoping like heck you are right! I see lots of offensive pieces that make sense.
Played goof ball schedule then got blown out in the only game that mattered. it’s hard to only play two teams with a winning record in an entire season.
Oh wow, nevermind. Didn’t realize Kearney only played 2 teams with a winning record last year.
Yeah, not easy to beat a finalist in Class 5 and a semifinalist in Class 4, and then turbo everyone else in the 2nd Q/
Year one of a brand new coaching staff. What was Ambroson's record his year one? Interesting how so few want to even discuss this.
He's likely at Padre Island showing off his physique on the beach..............
