On today’s show, a Mahomes chat + high school football playoffs: SportsBeat KC podcast

The Kansas and Missouri high school football playoffs have reached their quarterfinal stages, and Dion Clisso of PrepsKC.com is here to break down the key matchups.

Is Liberty North vulnerable as the region’s top team against Park Hill South in Class 6? Which of the newcomers to the late rounds will emerge in Kansas 6A? Clisso takes a look at these storylines and games.

After a break, you’ll hear some of Patrick Mahomes’ weekly media session. He speaks about throwing a personal-record 68 passes against the Titans and his decision-making when it came to scrambling last weekend. Mahomes picked up another personal best in that department with 63 rushing yards ... but he didn’t like all of his calls.

“There were definitely some decisions that I missed some throws that were out there,” he said.
