Varsity Kansas - The Blog

Last week was absolutely loaded with outstanding games. At least on paper. That Northwest-Heights baseball game, um, not so good (North and Northwest have handled Heights recently).

Maize soccer continued its dominance — it looked good that the Eagles were playing Heights, but Maize is impressively rolling over everyone it plays this year. Hence the fact the Eagles haven’t been scored on. Can Goddard’s Whitney Berry score on Tuesday in that game? She’s a little gimpy, though, so that could slow her even more.

Maize and Goddard softball, that turned out to be good, though, with the teams splitting the doubleheader.

The KU Relays looked pretty  good from an area standpoint, too. Audacia Moore wins the 100, Keith Hayes finished second in the 110 hurdles, Matt Byers took third in the javelin, Southeast girls second in the 400 relay, Andover’s Jeremy Postin took third in the shot. That’s just a few.

All right, enough of the recap. Let’s look at this week. Carroll and Kapaun golf face each other today. I always love matchups like this that have some definite bearing on league titles. Both are undefeated in league.

How about tonight’s Northwest vs. North baseball game? You could say this game lost some of its luster when North lost to Carroll, but this is still a great game. I’m curious about the pitching matchups. Have these coaches been saving their studs?

I’ve already mentioned Maize-Goddard soccer, but how about swimming, where Northwest and North will face each other in a triangular with Carroll? Again, this could who wins the City League.

In softball, I’m at Derby vs. Goddard on Tuesday, and Rose Hill faces Augusta on Thursday.

The City League tennis meet is on Saturday at Wichita State. Can you believe that regional tennis is just a little over a week away? Unbelievable.

And finally, wanted to send a shout-out to Collegiate tennis coach Dave Hawley, whose father died recently. You’re in my thoughts.
