OFFENSE DEFENSE
Life goes on for the Raytown South football team. “The sun came up on Saturday,” coach David Allie joked. “I didn’t know if it would, but it did. What can you do but be happy? We had a great season.”
Joe Kaufman started to speak, then looked at his coach and quickly and painfully sprang to his feet.
