Very true. At the high school level he was almost unstoppable. Sitting in the stands it made you glad you weren't being asked to tackle him. He would just as soon run over you as run around you, but he could do both.Kenyon was on an island during those dark OU years.

Kenyon was on an island during those dark OU years.Most on here are too young to remember but Kenyon Rasheed out of Rockhurst was a beast and Justin Smith out of J.C. Jays was a dominating high school D lineman. Maybe the best two in I saw in person.
They beat Santa Fe like 14-6 right? 2001?Tony Temple
For small schools- Besides Brad Hocker, Kyle Knighton was a man child at West Platte. I remember going north with Veer, (BHP at that time) to watch them play in the quarterfinals.
Another great one was Michael Keck from Harrisonville, gone way too soon.
Easy there SHELDON ! Do you not read before posting ? I said that she is the perfect squeeze for you ! 😜Easy there, CLOWN! Do you read before posting? Obviously NOT because I said 'Bosko does NOT likey'! NICE TRY, CLOWN!
Grandview in the late 70's with Sam Brown as head coach produced some really good kids/teams. His coaching staff was as good as I've seen in the KC area.Michael Harper from those great Hickman Mills teams of the late 70's was a GREAT hs running back and went on to have a nice career at USC and a few seasons with the New York Jets.
The 1978 All-State team featured Harper, George Shorthose, Gary Anderson and another great back from Grandview HS, David Haynes.
Not sure we've ever seen a better single class of RB's.
You are so right about him! I heard he is playing football at Arkansas now but haven't heard any particulars.Monte Harrison Lee's Summit West - saw that kid take over football, basketball, and baseball games - made it look really easy in high school.
They won't be contenders after this yearDon’t see Archie ever leaving 8 man unless enrollment forces them to. They were 148(9-11) this year with I believe a limit of 150 being imposed. Why go 11 man when you can be the largest 8 man school in the state and be a contender every year.
Midway R-1 is in need of a Week 1 opponent for the 25-26 Football Season. We are a Class 1 Program. We can host or travel.
If able or interested, please contact Head Football Coach Kyle Schenker.

That could be, but 148 is close to 150, and if KC decides to develop more southerly… may have to start rapid expulsion. You’re probably right thought; they will probably 8-man as long as they can.Don’t see Archie ever leaving 8 man unless enrollment forces them to. They were 148(9-11) this year with I believe a limit of 150 being imposed. Why go 11 man when you can be the largest 8 man school in the state and be a contender every year.
And my Georgia Bulldogs are ranked even higher!!! GO DAWGS!!!Okay you bozo and CLOWN! MY PENN STATE NITTANY LIONS won HANDSOMLY over Kent State. Meanwhile YOUR MU Tigers SURVIVED againt the TERRIBLE Vanderbilt Commodores. The result? MY PENN STATE NITTANY LIONS are now ranked HIGHER than the MU Tigers! HA! NICE TRY!!!
Fat man knowledge. So you are admitting that you are fat!!!Okay you bozos and nincompoops. Listen here. Im about to drop some fat man knowledge on you two that will forever change your skinny lives. With cake donuts, you DUNK THEM IN COFFEE!!! You're welcome!!!

Lockwood already has an 11-man league they should be playing in.
And yes, Hocker was a good one! And Shannon Crouch was a dandy Little League coach that did wonders for building up my son in baseball. I’ll always be appreciative.
