Obviously the KVL can't compete with EKL and Sunflower League, because they have the best 5a and 6a schools in the state. However, the Frontier League is all 4A schools... KVL is definitely one of the better leagues in Kansas City.
Ok.
Ask @OdoggBrox

What the KVL has is good basketball...anything beyond that can't compete with what other leagues have to offer
At the 5 and 6a level i agree.
How did Atchison end up in a League with KCK schools 45 minutes away from them...?
You have to he in a league with someone. No one says it but it has to suck all the way around.

Mill Valley could compete in the Sunflower League and the EKL. The Frontier League isn't any more prestigious than the current KVL.
Depends on the sport.
Who is more prepared to leave the KVL due to sports success. Piper or MV?
Depends on the league they are moving to. The frontier league seems to be where everyone wants to go and i am sure piper can compete. Mill valley is going bigger things as their enrollment grows. They will be 6a eventually.
What is your preseason prediction for league standings in the KCAL for girls hoops?
Sumner, atchison schlagle wyandotte harmon.
He told me he wasn't and he's already talked to Swanson. He wasn't at a single summer work out for basketball
Team struggles whether he plays or not.
Little early but Ward basketball looking like they will struggle to win a game this year.. Henley won't play and Brull graduated and their 6'6 foreigner went back home.
How do you know Henley wont play? I completely agree they will struggle.
People give you a hard time for being a Piper homie, but what does Vernon have against them? Watching games, it's clearly obvious there were certain players he disliked for some reason. Any idea why?
I dont think he has anything against anyone. We would have to ask him. What is an example?
Younger McQuillan is a sophomore.
Ahh. He could be a player.
3 headed monster. Pahls, Spencer, Richards. All experienced and very quick off the ball. Should be a huge threat.
There is a lot of experience and skill on the defense. Didnt know they had that nickname.
The 3 headed monster at piper?
You talking about the running backs? Not sure what you mean.
Do you think Piper Girls basketball can go back to back with another great season?
They have a good shot. I think very highly of Jessica Wayne. She will get to play this summer along with Haley White. If Maya Morrow steps up then they should be very good.
So you love affair with the jacksons continues with jaimison?
If he is as good as the others then yes.
How much have you even looked into Bonner football
This year not a whole lot so we will see. What I do know if 90% of the offense is gone and one of the top defensive players in the city. So you guys could be awesome but we will have to wait and see.
Thoughts on Bonner senior class for football?
I don't know if Conner Byers is a senior or not. The jury is out on whether they are ready for prime time. Jonah Freese is another senior I believe.
What about football ? In your opinion
Atchison is probably Huntington again, Tonganoxie - Cole Holloway, Sumner - Vernon Vaughn, Harmon - Isaiah Ming, Wyandotte - McKinzy, Schlagle - J'Veyon Browning, Washington could be Javeon Williams in terms of production although I like Major Jackson, Ward - Barnhart, Turner - Paul Berry, Mill Valley - i am not sure yet on this one. Could be Hecht if he is what they say. I need to see. Koch could put up some good numbers, Jegen could get there. Basehor - Ben Johnson, Bonner - Jonathan Jackson, Piper - Colton Beebe. I hope I didn't miss a school.
Thoughts on Piper senior class for football?
They have a chance to do big things. Beebe, Trevon Jones, Richard, Jake Jones have a chance to leave their mark. If they make another run in the playoffs we would have to start talking about a group that got more wins than any other class in school history. These young men have won a lot of games together.
In your coverage area who were the best basketball players to come out of each school ?
During the time I have been covering. Atchison - Huntington, Harmon - Brandon Roark, Sumner - Benny Parker, Wyandotte - Adrian Goodlow, Schlagle - Rozelle Nunn, Washington - Deandre King, Ward - Evan Brull, Turner - Sam Worthy, Mill Valley - Koch, Bonner - BJ Watson, Basehor - Colin Murphy, Piper - Luke Long/Calvin Johnson, Tongie probably Grizzle.
Thoughts on Lansings junior class? Stand outs, predictions?
The Junior class specifically. I couldn't tell you. I think the younger McQuillan is a junior.
You're missing Kurtis Loevenstein of MV on track wall of fame. Won open 800 this year
Updated. Thanks.
Why don't you speak of bonner that much.?
We broadcasted 2 Bonner football games. We had coach Hilton on the radio show as well as Jordan Jackson. Anna Deegan was our girls POY two years in a row. Jonathan Jackson was our first POY, Stevie Williams, Kyle Dumler were all SHUKC performers. BJ Watson was an all SHUKC performer. One of my favorite Braves was Tyler Howell who made our team. Mr Fasani also made the squad. Actually there was another kicker for Bonner that made our squad. Oakes was our coach of the year as well. I like Bonner sports. There are some things I won't dive into here that I wish were better but it could just be a personal thing.
Key players in the Basehor-piper game this year in football? Who gets the victory?
We will talk about it more before the game. Prediction now would be piper.
Since you are a HUGE Mario Chalmers fan, are you sending your son to his Miracle Shot Basketball Camp this week?
No. All seriousness it is awesome to come back and do the camp. Good for him he got another contract.
Why do you favortive piper
I dont believe i favor them. Piper is engaged in our efforts at shukc. All the schools are welcome to do the same. You would have to be a little more specific on what i am favoring.
