Nice convo piece but see several that appear to be based on last year's results. Liberty and BS South rising agree would rank Platte County in the top 10 and Rockhurst lower perhaps in the 15-20 range. Absolutely amazing we are T minus 82 days from kickoff!

Haha...previous season inertia. It gets the best of them. Calpreps worthless until about week 5. Last year more off than ever for some reason.

yeah my oldest 2 are at pitt state this week for camp but i go past william chrisman and Truman for work everyday. If Chrisman could get the summer programs rocking they have a talent pool. From attendance #'s last year it wouldnt hurt to have the parents a bit more invested there as well

Thanks! Given that shouldn't they be considered a threat in C4?

The defense will have to drastically improve. Gave up 33 points per game last year. Only beat 1 team with a winning record and that was Pleasent Hill and Pleasent Hill avenged that lose in districts by 41.

Class 4 seems pretty wide open. Lutheran North lost a few kids to the portal including their all-state quarterback who's now at Parkway North. Festus and Warrenton return a ton, but neither program has made a state run in forever so interesting to see how those teams unfold. Parkway North has Hollis from LN and return Messiah Smith who was one of the best running backs in St. Louis last season.

Don't crown too early. They have shown that with seven starters out and playing with third and fourth-string QBs, they are capable of losing a game.

Still trying, seven months plus later, to wrap my head around that 8-man esque Oak Grove score!

With pretty much all the key O players graduated now??????? They will be in the mix but way too presumptuous to call them favorites.
