Olathe West had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. They put the hurt on the Shawnee Mission North Bison with a sharp 63-42 victory on Thursday. The Owls' offense stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most points they've scored all season.
Olathe West got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Brody Hale out in front who threw for 273 yards and four TDs while completing 86.4% of his passes, and also punched in one touchdown on the ground. The dominant performance also gave Hale a new career-high in passer rating (165.3). Sam Krzykowski did his part to keep the secondary busy, picking up 140 receiving yards.
On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Olathe West's defensive line and their six sacks.
