Two Possible Opponents for November 6

The Wildcats’ next opponent will be decided Friday, October 30, when Lee’s Summit visits Hickman High School in Columbia for a 7 p.m. CT district quarterfinal. Both teams enter the postseason at 5–4.

A Hickman victory would give Blue Springs its first meeting of the season with the Kewpies. Hickman averaged 29.1 points per game during the regular season.

If No. 5 Lee’s Summit Advances

A Lee’s Summit victory would set up a rematch. Blue Springs defeated the Tigers 41–20 on October 16. Lee’s Summit then closed its regular season with a 35–18 win over Staley.

The Path Beyond the Semifinal

On the other side of the bracket, No. 3 Lee’s Summit North faces No. 6 Blue Springs South on October 30. That winner advances to face Rock Bridge on November 6.

A Blue Springs semifinal win would send the Wildcats to the district championship game on Friday, November 13, against the team that advances from that half of the bracket.

For Wildcat fans, the next date to circle is November 6. Kickoff and venue for the Blue Springs semifinal remain TBD on the MSHSAA game listing as of October 27. Ticket and broadcast information still needs confirmation.
