If you follow Olathe football, Friday's regional round had one tight game and two lopsided ones. Olathe North won 10-6 at Lawrence. Olathe Northwest beat Olathe West 29-6, and Mill Valley beat Olathe South 47-7, according to Friday's scores.

  • Lawrence's first-quarter points: 0, a first this season
  • Late turnovers that led to Lawrence's loss: three
  • Chaney's season picks: 136-46 (75.6%)

Butler County Times-Gazette sports editor Charles Chaney had picked Lawrence 31-18 in his regional predictions, so that one went the other way. His Olathe Northwest pick landed on the right side, at 26-13.
