In a tweet Tuesday evening, Spectrum Sports-Kansas City reported after speaking with Rockhurst football coach Kelly Donohoe that Rockhurst had a player who played last Friday test positive for COVID. The report added it appears that Rockhurst’s season is over, which means Joplin would win by forfeit. If true, Joplin would advance to play the winner of (1) Raymore-Peculiar and (8) Lee’s Summit on Nov. 6 in the Class 6 District 3 semifinals.
SoMo Sports reached out to local sources who confirmed the report but are waiting on an announcement from MSHSAA for final confirmation.
