The rude awakening to Oak Grove’s dream season in boys soccer occurred Thursday night.

The Oak Grove boys soccer team hopes it can call itself a giant killer one more time.

Just three years into its existence, the Grain Valley boys cross country team has earned its first trip to the state championships.

Trent Sifuentes was using his head Monday.

Holden wasn’t willing to let its playoff hopes slip away Thursday night. And Oak Grove paid the price.

With its first Missouri River Valley Conference West title to its credit and a school-record 21 wins, Grain Valley’s volleyball program achieved more this season than any in its history.

The starting goalkeeper scored the first goal and the backup keeper got a shutout.

It’s probably safe to say that the Truman boys soccer team is enjoying the last half of the season better than the first.

For a team that came into its Class 3 District 15 volleyball match against Odessa at Excelsior Springs with just two wins on the season, the Oak Grove Panthers surely didn’t play like it.

Two early goals were enough for William Chrisman to hold off Oak Park 2-1 Monday as the Bears chose the perfect time to gain their first Suburban Big Six conference victory.
