MY VOTE NOTES

In Class 6, my votes were about the same as last week because Rockhurst lost to Bentonville, Ark. I voted for Parkway South instead of Ray-Pec at No. 10.

Class 5, I'm still voting Lee's Summit West No. 1 over Kirkwood and I didn't drop Staley as far (No. 4 in my poll).

Class 4, Savannah's win over Harrisonville put them No. 4 in my book. I kept Sikeston at No. 9 but the Bulldogs got bumped up because there's so many teams between Nos. 7-17 and Bolivar tumbled to No. 10 after a loss (no vote from me).

Class 3, I moved Ste. Genevieve up to 7 but the top 5 are set in my book. I voted for Logan-Rogersville at 10 because they lost by only 2 and their first loss was at a Mountain Grove team that's gaining momentum in Class 2. I didn't vote for Potosi.

Class 2, I'm the moron who voted Lamar No. 1 after the Tigers lost 13-6 at home to Seneca. Not sure what I was thinking, maybe forgot to move them before sending off my ballot or a 7-point loss in the rain shouldn't be that bad. I'm torn between MV-Liberty and Maplewood-RH at No. 1 but like M-RH with former Poplar Bluff assistant coach Rich Nixon as coach this year. I had Caruthersville still at 8.

Class 1, I kept Valle at 2 but added West Platte at 6 after beating Wellington-Napoleon. Rest of it is about the same.
