Little River Football Book

Stephanie Prince Young has published a book on Little River’s 2020 football season and it’s 100 years of sports history. Click here to see it on Amazon.

Coaches, ask your local city, county, school library to order this book so you and your staff and players can read this book.

Here is a short paragraph from the acknowledgements:

“He showed me how every season, team, game, player, coach and even halves and quarters of a game can have a tale to tell, a unique path and history. So many stories collide during every season and every game. He showed me how deep and emotional the sport could be, how close a team can become, how much the game means to the players, how in-depth the strategies are and how graceful a well-executed play can be. And I saw firsthand the impact a good coach has on young men.”

 

Liberal Football Coach Speaks

Liberal Football Coach tells it like it is, working with the Superintendent and the School Board in Liberal. Read the comments to the right also. This is an eye opener!

He also takes aim at the State of Kansas and Fort Hays State.

Final Rankings December 3, 2024

Our final ranking of the year is to crown the overall Super Champion of the State of Kansas in High School Football.

This year St Thomas Aquinas is the overall Super Champion of Kansas in High School Football. Click on the link above to see the regular season games of the Saints.

The opponents this year of Aquinas were impressive and the Saints were up to the task of winning all their games. In the playoffs, the Saints defeated Mill Valley by one point, and that is why Mill Valley is number two in our Super Top 10.

How about those Coyotes of Weskan? They defeat Cunningham by one point in the championship game in class 6-man.

The entire football season has been awesome. For the most part the weather was perfect for football. But on any day, “It’s a Great Day for Football.”

The only sad thing is, we have to wait for another 9 months for the first high school football game.

Rankings October 28, 2024

The final rankings for the regular season are done. We will have one more ranking of teams, after the championship games are over. Right now we have placed a target on the back of the top teams in each classification.

I am positive that some team, that is ranked in the number one spot, right now, will not finish out the season as that classifications champion. it happens every year. Some team comes out of nowhere to win a championship. Who will it be this year? We will know in a month.

Best of luck to all the teams and may you stay healthy and play your best football now. Give it all you’ve got! Soon your time to play the game of real football will end.
