Ask Liberty North. They beat Kearney and Fort, lost to Blue Springs South. Three state champs in one regular season.
How tough is KC area football???

And to think, when I decided to return here because of negative comments about Lib North's then upset of Kearney that was actually folks taking shots at the Dogs, it was suggested they were "below average".......................bwahaha.
And I wonder who was saying that Fort Osage was "over rated " when they were #1 early in the season after they beat Staley. I don't think so.
They were...They scored 8 points in regulation against Staley...and lost to Liberty North 21-14 Why would anyone look at what was happening there at the time and not think they were overrated. I'd seen LN play...and anyone they could beat like that with no injury issues...couldn't be that good?? Lol
I had absolutely no faith in them until the Park Hill game. I knew people at Fort that said all season the coaching was screwing them up. Well, they fixed their issues...

Fort really unleashed Skylar Thompson in the playoffs............perhaps they were holding him back a bit during the regular season?
No question. Once Liberty North held him to 59 yards passing, they committed to running the ball more. Shartz was smart in not running more, particularly after the scare versus Raytown in which he was knocked out cold. Fort without Thompson doing damage and a great Defense is a wash. The difference between Fort and most teams, Thompson get's knocked out and plays the next week, other teams bring in Doctor's and Counselor's and he misses 7 games.
Liberty North beat the C4 champ, was on the goal line with 4 shots at a TD and lost to PH. Moved the ball, forced turnovers vs BSS only to give it right back avoiding the mercy clock by narrow margin. Lost to a hot Staley team in which they moved the ball and fumbled it away. Lost the turnover margin to Fort and still won the game. Yes, 152 teams are tough as a boot strap. They eat beer cans and fart glitter.
Missouri highest rated strength of schedule: 9/10 from KC.

Well, they lost to Liberty North...and I had seen them play Kearney...Hinck doesn't go out on the first series and that one was a another turbo for them.
Just saying...
If strength of schedule is the only factor that determines if a team is any good then the 2003 Kearney team was average at best...
Webb is a fluke and Blue Springs, Rockhurst and Blue Springs South are the only real teams in the state of Missouri .

8. Fort Osage 33.7 C5 Toughest Conf
9. Park Hill 33.4 C5 Weakest Conf
Strength of schedule means you have narrower margin of error to make it to the finish line. I don't need a stat to reveal common sense.
The 2003 Kearney team played a weaker schedule than any team above.
Webb City has never played in any KC C6,C5,C4 Conf.
With your own guidelines for greatness, neither Kearney 2003, or Webb ever measure up to KC metro championship play.
Ridiculous...
I'm not following you? Try reading the previous posts. I'm not suggesting Kearney or Webb would not measure up WTH
Who said strength of schedule determines greatness or is the only factor in determining greatness? Playing higher rated teams weekly takes its toll on a team though. Perhaps why Staley decided to include Kearney as one of the three teams they declined to play in the last cycle? And yes. That is the way it went down.
Because they got beat by Liberty North. Who looked very average. That, along with surviving...just barely...the Staley game. And knowledgable Fort fans telling me their coaching staff was screwing them up.
Tophat took out his post on Staley dodging Kearney. IDK why? Perhaps he realized K is C4. No benefit for Staley to play Kearney.

I also guarantee you all Staley had no idea Mill Valley would become what they now are (KS 5A champs). I think Kearney's enrollment decline back to C4 factored into the Falcons ending what was the best emerging rivalry in the Northland.

3-6 vs. K may have factored into it, Joey, but I do remember being on the Staley side of the stands the first half of that 42-0 game in 2013. Whether that factored into them not scheduling the Dogs we will never know.

Where was that? I literally haven't removed anything since this new format. Perhaps it is a computer issue on my end (have had some lately).
Top, you're simpley wrong in assuming Staley wasn't aware of good Mill Valley team. Brouchard is way too cunning to be suprised. No question, I think Staley felt they'd win the two game deal, which all of us would agree, a good Missouri team vs a good Kansas team will end in a Missouri victory.
As for Staley purposely dodging Kearney in fear that might lose is a stretch.Number #1, for Staley to be interested in playing Kearney they'd have to benefit from beating them, and number # 2 playing Mill Valley some other game needs to benefit Staley in a practical way. Number #3 coaches have very little say in their schedule, perhaps in this case none at all.
As it turned out Staley wasn't beaten up by a meaningless game and neither was Kearney. Kearney already would be tested by Liberty North, a team they surely was overlooked by you and all other Kearneyites. Kearney having beaten LN every time, though the 2013 and 2014 games easily could have been Liberty North wins, overlooked an inspired LN squad. In the 2015 game, no question LN was the more physical team QB or not. LN had it's own QB and RB problems. Throwing on LN was a difficult task anyway having limited Skylar T to 59 yards passing. Congrats to Kearney for winning it all and knocking off Goliath, while LN was at home watching.

Suburban conference schedules are set by a committee of ADs. One from each conference. Coaches have no say in who they play. In fact, they are told who they will play. Go back under your rock Kearney troll. Night night. Come back when you have an intelligent argument. Maybe next season?

Do not disagree with any of the above.
In my opinion in "most" years Kearney has to be the more physical team to win a game against a more talented opponent.
A Staley win would be a great motivator for a small class team that at some point would have to face Webb in the playoffs.
Staley on the other hand gets nothing from a win over Kearney but a chance to lose a crucial player that they will need somewhere down the line.
If I were the Falcons I would have moved on as well...
The reason Staley quit playing Kearney is a combined score of 70 - 7 in the two games they played in 2013.
More physical team? Bahaa. You are a clown. Hinck plays this is a turbo. Next decade, LN might win another one.
You're clueless, classless, bitter and retarded little porch monkey. You couldn't coach your way out of a wet paper bag, let alone write anything backed up by facts. I am ashamed of you.

I think he is saying Suburban games are scheduled by the AD's and since both Kearney and Staley are in the Suburban and Mill Valley is clearly not then technically both of you are right. There is no benefit for either of these teams to play each other except for the fans to have bragging rights and those don't usually get factored into any decision making. My guess Kearney will keep growing and move to class 5 soon and you will all get your wish before you know it.
I know for a FACT that Jones and JRod were trying to set up a game a few years back just could not agree on when it would be played.
