Unbelievable end of regulation. Lee’s Summit North misses game-winning field goal attempt but gets another shot with roughing kicker penalty with 1 second left. Then that kicked is blocked by CBC.
Here's one example of how physical tonight's Liberty North-CBC Class 6 championship game was.
No flag on the helmet-to-helmet hit on the quarterback running out of bounds, but a penalty for a push in the back by a CBC player and then players from both teams had to be separated.
Not sure I've seen a coach better explain what it means for a school to take second at state better than Benton's Ron Winemiller today after the Rangers lost to Phillips in the Illinois Class 2A title game.

So it's either the Rams (who left St. Louis), the Patriots (who stole a Super Bowl from the St. Louis Rams) or the Chiefs (who voted for the Rams to leave and then openly encouraged St. Louis fans to support their team). 👎🏼

Lee's Summit senior Joshua Manning finished off his high school career in style by winning two state championships on Friday and Saturday.
Today he's headed to Columbia where he will continue his athletic career as a wide receiver at Mizzou.
Please tell your loved ones how much they mean to you every opportunity you get.
I've said this before and I'm going to keep saying it because I know there will come a time when you'll be willing to give anything for one more chance to tell someone that you love them.

One of the best things about working at Vianney is seeing our students succeed. Overheard a kid in the hallway yesterday calling his mom to tell her he got 100% on a quiz. He couldn’t have been happier. It was awesome. The kids here make this place special.

2024 QB Elijah Leonard's breakout game vs. CBC.
@ELeonard2024
completed 26 of 35 passes for 448 yards and four touchdowns and added 25 yards rushing.
He threw the ball all over, extended plays with his legs and put his team in position to win.
Has Oklahoma defensive coordinator Alex Grinch been mentioned as a possibility for the Mizzou job? Former Mizzou assistant had done a good job at two of the best programs in the country. Could bring some different energy as a recruiter.
This is just heartbreaking. I’ve covered high school football and basketball games where fights break out or you’d hear gunshots after and you just pray that everyone gets home safely. It doesn’t have to be like this. Praying for the family and friends of the little girl.
If you’re a high school football player waiting for a scholarship offer and seeing other guys get them, please remember that everybody’s path is different.
Some of the best players of all time didn’t get D-1 offers.
Just keep working to get better.
