KANSAS REGIONAL PLAYOFF PREVIEWS SM EAST (4-5) AT (1) OLATHE NORTH (9-0) Updated: Nov. 3, 2009 5:46 PM |Full Story
The Olathe North and Olathe South gymnastics teams have trained together throughout the season.
Olathe South got off to a perfect start Friday afternoon during the opening round of the Kansas 6A state volleyball tournament at the Kansas Expocentre.
LAWRENCE | The last time Olathe East’s girls cross country team won a state title, coach Tony Bozarth knew his team had it wrapped up toward the end of the race.
The only thing more beautiful that the weather for MidAmerica Nazarene football fans Saturday at Pioneer Stadium was the scoreboard at the end of the regular-season home finale versus Central Methodist.
In the quest for a third consecutive appearance in the Kansas 6A title game, Olathe South's boys soccer squad seemed poise to dominate its Northeast regional 2 championship match Friday when senior Trey Bristow and freshman Clay Stewart notched goals in the opening 11 minutes.
What basically started as a favor for a friend turned into a three-decade journey for Ron Burch. But after serving as the voice of MidAmerica Nazarene football for 30 of the program’s 31 years as its public address announcer, Burch is down to his final game barring a home playoff contest for the Pioneers.
Five months ago, Conner Langrehr freely admits MidAmerica Nazarene wasn’t a blip on his radar screen as he weighed his college basketball options.
The last time Tony Bozarth headed to the Kansas 6A state tournament with talented siblings, who were running possibly their final race together, among his top runners, it worked out pretty well for Olathe East.
Scoring on every possession, Olathe North racked up 270 yards rushing on 35 carries, picked up 17 first downs and slaughtered Olathe South 41-0 on Friday. Then the city's oldest rivals came back to the field for the second half.
Alex Michaud couldn't believe what he saw. As the Olathe East defensive lineman chased Shawnee Mission South's quarterback Nick Johnson on a bootleg, Michaud just thought Johnson's pass was going over his head.
Olathe Northwest couldn't match the strength of Free State's offensive line Friday during a 35-14 loss in the Kansas 6A District 4 championship.
