In this week's power rankings, we saw one team go soaring up and another team come crashing down, along with everything in between. Among the games was a one-point thriller between Lee's Summit North and Blue Springs.
Welcome
The power rankings welcomes a newcomer to the scene as Blair Oaks earned the 25th spot after its strong showing last week. It kept its opponent Boonville off the scoreboard entirely, winning the match 31 - 0. Blair Oaks made sure to walk the walk to justify being talked up as the big favorite.
Can't Touch This
Kearney's 28 - 6 win over Platte County last week had a lot to do with the leadership of senior Patrick Connery. Connery ran for 250 yards and also punched in two touchdowns. That performance landed Connery among the top power-ranked players for the week.
This Week's Big Showdown
One of the hottest tickets last week involved the clash between Staley (3rd in the power rankings) and Lee's Summit (16th). Staley got a somewhat close 14 - 7 victory over Lee's Summit. The win boosted Staley a satisfying six spots in the power rankings.
Next Week's Big Game
If you are itching to watch a first-rate contest, no game is supposed to fit the bill better than the one between DeSmet Jesuit (2nd in the power rankings) and Christian Brothers (1st). The two teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games. With each team boasting a good deal of offensive firepower (both teams have three high-flying games in a row), it will be interesting to see who can run the score up higher.
