Park Hill 19, Raymore-Peculiar 13
Anthony Hall threw two touchdown passes and Nathan Walls took a handoff 76 yards for another and the Trojans withstood a furious fourth quarter to stun the host Panthers, who had risen to No. 2 in the Class 6 Missouri Media Rankings.
Park Hill (4-5, 3-4 Suburban Gold) did all of its scoring in the second and third quarters, taking a 19-0 lead into the final period. But the Panthers (7-2, 5-2) made a frantic fourth-quarter comeback attempt.
Ray-Pec’s Conrad Hawley took a quarterback keeper into the end zone with 5:45 left, then completed a 6-yard touchdown pass to Will Orthel with 1:20 to go to make it 19-13.
On Park Hill’s ensuing possession, the Panthers used their three timeouts and got a three-and-out to force a punt with 1:00 left, which they blocked and recovered at the Park Hill 13-yard line.
Hawley gained five yards on first down, but missed on his two passes after a spike to stop the clock. Ray-Pec had stalled eight yards from the end zone and the Trojans escaped.

Ruskin 39, Raytown South 30
After six lead changes, Ray Travion Wilson’s 25-yard fourth quarter touchdown gave the visiting Golden Eagles the lead they’d keep the rest of the way.
But it was quarterback William Sanders’ performance that put Ruskin (2-6, 1-5 Suburban Blue) in position time after time. He ran for 302 yards and two touchdowns and completed another to E’montae Silas -- each of them giving his team the lead.
On the other side, quarterback Manny Burnett threw for three touchdowns -- twice to Quinton Rowell -- as the Cardinals (0-7, 0-5) always seemed to have an answer during the first three quarters.
Down 27-16 shortly after halftime -- the largest deficit of the game -- Burnett twice orchestrated drives that ended with touchdown passes as Raytown South retook the lead at 30-27 before Wilson’s game-deciding touchdown.
Burnett threw for 212 yards while Rowell had 138 yards on nine catches. Rowell also ran back a kickoff 92 yards.

Jackson Gentzell scored all of the Mules’ points, connecting on field goals of 29 and 27 yards. He also scored Lathrop’s only touchdown, taking a 16-yard reception to the end zone and kicking the PAT. That gave Lathrop (1-6) its only lead, at 7-6 with 1:30 left in the first quarter.
