We have six matchups in the Shawnee area this week. The only team that is off this week is 3-0 Prague. Everyone else is in action as we wrap up the non-district portion of the season. We also have our first Thursday game of the year. That game will be highlighted below. As always, if you are going to one of these games and would like to send me any stats or pictures for our Monday Morning Quarterback, you can email them to chris.cox@vype.com.
