The 2022 postseason action is completely underway for all of the high school teams across the state of Missouri and Cass County teams are no different.

Just as the spring seasons presented multiple highs and lows with weather and getting events competed, the Cass County teams saw similar highs and lows as postseason play began and ended for many teams across Cass County.

There are still some Cass County teams left alive, and as this week’s Raymore Journal went to press there were quite a few teams still in limbo.

Ray-Pec Baseball

The Panthers improved to 19-9 this past Monday when they defeated Raytown 4-0 in the opening round of the Class 6, District 7 tournament to advance to the semifinals, which were scheduled to be played this past Wednesday, which was after this week’s Raymore Journal went to press.

Earlier in the week, last week, the Panthers opened their week falling 11-0 at Blue Valley, but rebounded on Wednesday with a 6-1 victory over Liberty North, but closed the regular season falling 7-4 against Blue Springs in Ray-Pec’s 2022 regular season finale.

The Lady Pirates then went into the Class 4, District 7 district tournament against Lee’s Summit, where they suffered an 8-0 defeat on Saturday to have their season come to an end.

The Harrisonville baseball team opened its final week of the 2022 season last Tuesday when they scored a 7-5 win over Nevada and followed with a 14-0 victory over Center on Wednesday, but the Wildcats were not able to keep that momentum alive into the postseason as they opened Class 4, District 7 action on Monday against Clinton and saw their season come to an end following a 5-4 loss in extra innings.

Harrisonville Girls Soccer

The Lady Wildcats were the No. 1 seed in the Class 2, District 7 tournament this year and were scheduled to play against Summit Christian Academy this past Tuesday in the semifinals of that tournament.

The Whirlwinds they dropped an 8-2 contest against Crest Ridge on Thursday in the opening round of the Class 2, District 14 tournament.

Drexel Baseball

The Drexel Bobcat baseball team saw its 2022 season come to an end this past Monday after a 2-10 campaign. Drexel began its final week of the 2022 season last Wednesday when they closed the 2022 regular season losing a 10-0 contest at Liberty.

If the Roosters won their district opener, where they were the No. 2 seed and received a 1st round bye, they would have played in the district championship game against either No. 1 seeded Summit Christian Academy, who was scheduled to play Clinton, who defeated Harrisonville in its district opener on Monday, which was also played Tuesday.
