It was another big night of games across the Kansas City metro on Friday. Here are some highlights from Week 7 of the high school football schedule. Olathe West took a major step toward clinching the top seed in the Kansas Class 6A state playoffs on Friday night.

Kansas football lost 42-17 on the road at Texas Tech on Saturday. After the defeat, though, the final score wasn’t all Lance Leipold talked about.
