Varsity Kansas - The Blog

It’s great to see all the comments we’re getting on this blog. Interaction is what we’re looking for, so keep it coming.

Thought I’d just respond to a couple comments.

This from Mark on East’s loss to Kapaun:

One point I’d make on the Bryce Brown fumbles. Those were mostly botched pitches, not balls he had in possession, then lost. He was obviously overeager to start running with the ball before he secured it, and the pitches were not on target. I’m guessing there will be lots of reps at practice on these plays, because, lacking any kind of reliable passing game, East will need to run them well to beat Heights.

I’m going to disagree with you, Mark, on the pitches being off target. I’m not saying they were perfect, but Brown should have been able to make the plays without fumbling. I’m pretty hard on quarterbacks when I keep stats, and I did think these were the fault of Brown. On that point, I can’t imagine him having the same problems this week against Heights.

From mulvanefan:

its about time mulvane has gotten some recognition, but i dont understand how you dont have them in the top 5, but hayden and holton still are, you might talk about schedule strength, but mulvane hasnt had any really easy games, except for maybe el dorado, MULVANE IS A TOP 5 TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mulvane’s schedule does hurt. Yes the Wildcats are an impressive 5-0 and they definitely helped themselves with a victory over Rose Hill. But three of Mulvane’s opponents have losing records. That doesn’t help.

From Mark:

Aren’t the 6A districts for the western part of the state pretty clear?

Dodge City, Garden City, Maize, Goddard
Northwest, North, South, Campus (pretty easy group for the Grizzlies!)
East, Derby, Heights, Southeast

Could you explain this? Is there another way the teams could be grouped according to KSHSAA policies? Having exactly 12 teams in the western area will help City League provide more league games too, since Heights will have two CL district foes (rather than none).

Sounds good to me. But we’ll find out this week when district alignments come out.

And from Nadine:

We heard this was “new”. Think it is a nice addition. We’ll be checking it out.

Glad to hear it. A reminder that the Q&A forum will be replaced by the blog, so keep your comments and questions coming.
