Last week’s results: Wellsville lost to Louisburg, 69-6; Osawatomie lost to Eudora, 42-0

Last year’s meeting: Osawatomie won, 14-6

at Topeka Cair Paravel (0-0)

Last week’s result: Veritas lost to Baileyville B & B, 46-0

Last year’s meeting: Veritas won, 44-8

Quick Hits: The Eagles come in with only three quarters under their belts, with last week’s 46-point margin enough to end the game early. Veritas will look to its fourth quarter – or the first quarter of Week 2 – to get its offense moving.
