KC Metro Sunflower Football Connections - Where are they now?

As we enter week-3 for the KC High School Football teams, there are already a few surprises linking the old Sunflower League. Our Sunflower schools will kickoff Friday night while our counterparts across the State Line will begin playing the meat of their schedule.


                                               

                                                       

Currently, the Lee's Summit North (LS North) Broncos are now 2-0, defeating PH South, and
Winnetonka, in Jamar Mozee’s first season. This is the Broncos first 2-0 start since the 2000 season. Former SM East, and SM West Head Coach Harold Wambsgans led the Broncos from 1996 to 2008. Entering week-3 against they face the NKC Hornets. Early on, this play by the Broncos is a great step forward.

                         

At North KC, former SM East Lancer Lineman, Assistant Coach Karl Zubeck (a former Buck Buchanon Award winner – SM East ‘99) is part of Leon Douglas’ staff. The Hornets at 1-1, will face the LS Broncos at home this Friday.

                                       

                             
Over in the West Central, the Center Yellowjackets, Coached by former SM North AC Brian DeLong in his 7^th season is 44-24, and 2-0 overall in 2015. The Jackets have a third consecutive road game at Pembroke Hill. Center has two road wins versus University Academy, and Nevada already in the books.
