Varsity Kansas - The Blog

Just to prove that we’re always looking for interaction on this blog, here’s some comments from ya’ll:

From Catfan1971:

“What are your thoughts about some of the areas smaller schools. Hesston and Remington play tonight. Hesston may not be tested until they see Garden Plain (again).

Is there decent 2-1A team that will Challenege Smith Center?

This is just a gut feeling, but get ready for Derby’s Coach (Brandon Clark) to open up the play book (ala Bill Snyder) and throw everything but the kitchen sink at East. If Derby wins is it really an Upset? Nothing personal… Just think Derby is getting better and we could mention Derby as a spoiler yes, but UPSET?
LAter”

First of all, congrats on bringing up that Derby could win this game. Yes, I still think it was an upset, but you obviously saw this coming. As for opening up the playbook, it sounds like Derby didn’t have to since Snodgrass was so potent on the keeper.

As for my thoughts on some smaller schools, here you go. Garden Plain continues to impress, and Logan Dold is still putting up great numbers. The Owls have Collegiate this week, which will be a test, but I’m still picking Garden Plain.

Hesston continues to roll, with its third straight shutout coming Friday night against Remington. The most points Hesston has given up is 15 to Nickerson in Game 2.

Class 2-1A is Smith Center’s. Need I say more about this dominant team that continues to shut out each of its opponents?

OK, onto a note I saw on the football rankings.  If there is a correction to be made in records, the best thing to do is let us know at duane@varsitykansas.com or joanna@varsitykansas.com. We don’t have time to go through every story posted and read all the comments, so if there’s a mistake, we want to know. By the way, remember that rankings are awfully subjective. Use them as a talking point.

Onto cross country: There’s been comments on here that we are ignoring Mulvane cross country. Actually, Duane hit on them earlier in the season when the Wildcats had a near-perfect score in a meet. Also, we plan to be at Mulvane’s regional on Saturday.

From Rackit:

Hey nice responce to the question asking if Cheney could bounce back. Do you 2 really know sports or are you just refering to a magic 8 ball?

Actually, the magic 8 ball works really, really well for us. I’m a little perturbed that you told everyone our secret. Thanks.

And, as always, thanks everyone for the questions and comments. Love hearing from you!
