I love football, and the first Friday of high school football season in Kansas is a special one. Every team starts the year the same, 0-0, and the entire season lies ahead with every player dreaming of league championships and deep playoff runs.

Yes, I'm watching big games like Blue Valley North/Bishop Miege, Shawnee Mission East/Gardner-Edgerton and Bishop Carroll/Wichita Northwest to name a few, but here are a few other storylines I'm intrigued by for September 6, 2019.

Alderson isn't satisfied

Jentrie Alderson isn’t satisfied and she wants to do better.

Nothing new there.

But the fact she’ll try to do better for Southeast of Saline is new and probably elicited some concern from opposing runners in the North Central Activities Association, as well those of Class 3A cross country teams as a whole.
