First Weekend of the High School Football Season
Thursday, July 17th, 2008By J. Long
September 4 (Thursday)
Carroll at Heights
September 5 (Friday)
Hutchinson at Rockhurst (Kansas City)
How crazy is this? Talk about starting the season with a bang. BC and Heights on Thursday night to jump-start City League play and then Hutchinson hits the highway to take on perennial power Rockhurst.
There might not be a better weekend of high school football.
Carroll QB Blake Bell is getting a lot of buzz for someone who hasn’t thrown the ball in a high school game. So it will be very interesting to see how he fairs in his first game against a pretty good defense. I don’t know much about Heights but they are pretty athletic on the defensive side and they have Ian Knight one of the top defensive ends in the state according to Rivals.
Hutchinson vs. Rockhurst will pit two football powers against one another. Hutchinson finished last season as the fourth-ranked team in USA Today’s Super 25 prep Football regional rankings while Rockhurst was seventh.

So what do you think? Has there been two better games to start the football season?
