See the playoff schedule for Kansas & Missouri high school football teams this week

It’s playoff time for high school football, and it gets started with plenty of Kansas Class 6A action on Thursday.

Among Thursday’s playoff games, Blue Valley Northwest meets Olathe Northwest with the winner facing either Olathe South or Shawnee Mission South on Friday, Nov. 3.

Shawnee Mission West will face second-seeded Olathe North, and Blue Valley West and Shawnee Mission North will meet in what should be one of the more even games on the slate.

On the Missouri side, there are plenty of teams with byes — like Lee’s Summit North and West, Liberty and Liberty North — but you can still catch matchups like Lee’s Summit vs. Ray-Pec and Staley vs. Park Hill South.
