Looking like a Week 9 rematch vs. Danneman and Excelsior in that semi. Big question will be who emerges from the other semi (Savannah vs. Smithville). Neither, though, has shown much thru the air this year that is the only area I think K can be had if just a bit. Draw Warrensburg in the State Quarterfinal the scoring average may go up BUT K's D line and LBs are light years better than anything the Burg will see leading up to that game if it happens (D7 is less wide open than it appeared a few weeks ago but still up for grabs and Nevada-Pleasant Hill face off next week).They should enter the district championship game giving up 3.1 ppg (only including starters) for the D8 championship.
Very cool KHS brought up 1989 that D was outstanding particularly vs. always explosive O'Hara and Ray-Pec. The latter was the Metro Game of the Week and Kearney moved into the very exclusive "Top 9 on 9" rankings when KMBC TV only acknowledged that number with all schools both sides of the state line included.
