Offensive woes, which have plagued Pleasant Hill this season, continued Friday night as the Roosters lost a second-straight game for the second time this season.

After a difficult start to the season that included four-straight losses, Sherwood was able to find itself on the right side of the scoreboard Friday night and earned a much-needed victory.

Through five games this season, first-year coach Kyle Littrell is pleased with how his team is adopting his new schemes, and he believes it’s beginning to show on Friday nights.

On a night he was a homecoming king candidate, Midway senior Trevyn Adams proved why his coach believes he’s one of the best players in the state.

ARCHIE — Despite a couple of hiccups in the second quarter, the Whirlwinds cruised to another lopsided victory Friday night, and improved their winning streak to four games this season.

Beating a cross-county rival on Friday night might just be the spark Adrian needs for the remaining month of the regular season.

Harrisonville’s final non-conference game of the regular season ended in a lopsided loss, but coach Brent Maxwell hopes his team can learn from it heading into a rivalry contest this week.

The past week has been a mixed bag of results for the Lady Blackhawks.

For the first time in many years, Pleasant Hill fell to Clinton in a Missouri River Valley Conference West contest.

Sherwood remained winless after being shut out against arguably its toughest regular season opponent Friday night.

After throwing an interception that resulted in a touchdown, Harrisonville senior quarterback Levi Hall took over the Wildcats’ homecoming game Friday night and led his team to a come-from-behind conference victory.

For the second week in a row, Archie scored early and often, building a large lead at halftime and never looking back Friday night.

Back in front of its home crowd, the Drexel football team got back to its winning ways Friday night.

For the first time in seven years, Midway defeated rival Adrian on Friday night. Midway won 14-12, improving its record to 2-2, while Adrian fell to 1-3, losing its third-straight game.

The Lady Blackhawks won a home match and lost a road one last week. They swept Harrisonville (25-16, 25-18 and 25-19) on Sept. 16.

For the second time this season, the Midway football team lost a lopsided game on the road.

After three-straight losses to open the season, the road doesn’t get any easier this week for the Sherwood football team.

DREXEL — As has become tradition, when the Bobcats play Appleton City on the gridiron, points are scored like it’s a fast-paced basketball game.

ADRIAN — For the first time in more than a dozen years, the Blackhawks were held off the scoreboard for a second-straight game Friday night.

The Lady Blackhawks won both of their matches last week without dropping a set. They won at Crest Ridge and at home against Sherwood, winning both matches 3-0.

ARCHIE — Much like it’s done the past four years, the Whirlwinds dominated Rich Hill on the gridiron Friday night.

Arguably the only thing better than earning your first win after a pair of lopsided losses is doing it against an opponent who beat you in the final minute last time you played them.

For the second time in three games, the Harrisonville football team had a handful of players score touchdowns in a blowout victory.

After a 2-2 opening weekend, the Lady Blackhawks won a pair of matches last week. They swept Stover at home and Clinton on the road. In their four wins, the Lady Blackhawks have not dropped a set.

CREIGHTON — Despite throwing five interceptions, Sherwood nearly won its home opener Friday night.
