“Missouri needs a Medicaid reform plan that brings the most value for our state, including returning our citizens’ hard-earned tax dollars from Washington and addressing the health care needs of Missourians,” writes Herb B. Kuhn of the Missouri Hospital Association. “Let’s focus on what we can accomplish.”

The Eudora football team is getting a second chance for a first state title.

Gabe Cleveland had a pair of rushing touchdowns in the first half Friday night as the Cardinals beat Piper 21-7 at home in a Kansas 4A semifinal playoff game. Eudora will make a second straight state championship game appearance. Last year, it lost to Rose Hill 21-0.
