Western Missouri's shows it balance
By PrepsKC staff When a conference features teams from two different classes sometimes it is tough to gauge which teams are stronger. A lot of times the schools from the smaller class might not have as strong of a conference record but when districts and the playoffs roll around they put together very good showings. That was the case for the Western Missouri Conference in 2010. Adrian, the lone Class 2 school, won the conference with a 5-1 but it wasn’t easy. In those five victories were an overtime victory over Archie, an eight-point win against Drexel and a six point win over Cass-Midway. Osceola handed Adrian its only conference loss on the season and tied with Osceola and Drexel for second place with a 4-2 conference mark. In all Adrian, Archie, Osceola and Drexel made the playoffs with Archie going all the way to the Class 1 quarterfinals. The all-conference team reflects the strong seasons by these teams. Adrian led the way with seven first-team selections followed by Archie and Osceola with five each, Cass-Midway with four and Drexel with two.
