Thursday highlights

The Star’s small-class top five No. 1 Staley 55, at Central 6: Evan Campbell, who rushed for 122 yards, scored the first three TDs for the Falcons. Special teams and the defense had their moments, too: Kyle Madsen scored on a 45-yard punt return. Vinny DeLisio ran an interception back 44 yards for a TD.

At No. 2 Harrisonville 37, Grain Valley 12: The Wildcats got out to a big lead, relying on running back Terry Scott, who had 169 yards in 12 rushes and scored two touchdowns. Harrisonville’s defense pitched a shutout into the fourth quarter.

No. 3 Kearney 56, at Excelsior Springs 0: The Bulldogs scored 42 points in the first quarter. Ashton Hiatt and Dillon Brink each ran for three touchdowns in the period. Brink added another in the second quarter before Kearney put the dogs on a leash.

No. 4 Bishop Miege 29, at De Soto 15: Justin McCay’s second touchdown (he had scored in the second quarter on an 11-yard pass from Max Shortell) put the Stags into the lead for good. Bobby Germinder had bookend TDs for Miege — both of them 3-yard runs.

At No. 5 Orrick 50, St. Mary’s 0: Kalija Rogers had 190 yards rushing in nine attempts, and Aaron Blyth rolled up 155 yards in 11 attempts for the Bearcats, who moved to 10-0. Rogers scored four touchdowns, and Blyth had two.
