SUBURBAN GOLD CONFERENCE

1. Blue Springs (10-2, 5-1)

Beat Francis Howell 49-14; Friday at Christian Brothers College (Class 6 semifinals)

The Wildcats have scored at least 49 points in all three playoff victories. Michael Warmack has eight touchdowns in the past two weeks.

On Friday, the Wildcats travel to face CBC, a program that has made back-to-back appearances in the Missouri Class 6 title game.

2. Lee's Summit West (9-3, 4-2)

Lost to Rockhurst 27-17; Eliminated

The Titans had their eight-game winning streak snapped — and their season ended — in a game in which Rockhurst forced them into making mistakes. Lee's Summit West turned the ball over four times, and it totaled only 202 yards of offense. That was too much to overcome, despite two touchdowns from junior Mario Goodrich — one on a 54-yard swing pass and another on a 63-yard interception return.

SUBURBAN RED CONFERENCE

1. Park Hill South (10-1, 5-0)

Beat Fort Osage 37-6; Friday at Staley (Class 5 quarterfinals)

Since a one-point loss to rival Park Hill in Week 3, the Panthers have won eight straight games. They ousted the defending Missouri Class 5 champions in impressive fashion Friday, building a 37-0 lead in the district championship game.

2. Liberty (7-4, 4-1)

Lost to Staley 36-0; Eliminated

The potent Liberty rushing attack was held to 21 yards Friday, and the passing game completed only six passes. Junior tailback Robert Rawie finished the season with 2,102 rushing yards and 22 touchdowns.

SUBURBAN WHITE CONFERENCE

1. Staley (9-2, 4-1)

Beat Liberty 36-0; Friday vs. Park Hill South (Class 5 quarterfinals)

The Falcons picked an opportune time for their most complete performance of the season. Senior Julian Ross carried the ball 20 times for 203 yards and four touchdowns. And the defense held Liberty to 117 yards of offense.

2. Fort Osage (5-6, 4-1)

Lost to Park Hill South 37-6; Eliminated

A young Indians team showed progress in coach Brock Bult's first season, but their Class 5 title defense came to a close with Friday's loss. The Indians managed only 99 yards on 30 rushing attempts.

SUBURBAN BLUE CONFERENCE

1. Kearney (11-1, 5-0)

Beat Platte County 58-41; Saturday vs. Hannibal (Class 4 quarterfinals)

The defending-champion Bulldogs have averaged 53.5 points per game since an early October loss to Staley in which they scored only 10 points. In Friday's victory, quarterback Anthony Pritzel threw for 311 yards and six touchdowns, three of them to Jess Davis.

2. Belton (7-4, 4-1)

Lost to Battle (Columbia) 52-29; Eliminated

The Pirates actually took a two-point lead into halftime, but they couldn't keep up their end of the shootout over the final two quarters. Dylon Smith ran for two touchdowns in the loss, which concluded a four-game winning streak.

3. Platte County (8-4, 3-2)

Lost to Kearney 58-41; Eliminated

Quarterback Justin Mitchell threw for 386 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 75 yards and two more scores. But the Pirates had no answer for Kearney's aerial attack and couldn't string together enough first-half stops to stay in the game. Still, they won eight-plus games for a third straight season.

4. Raytown South (6-5, 2-3)

5. Grandview (3-7, 1-4)

6. Winnetonka (1-9, 0-5)
