He approached both about the idea when they were still in eighth grade trying to decide which events to pursue in high school.

Playing in their first playoff game since 1986, Maryville used a pair of four-run innings and some excellent relief work from senior Tyler Tripp to beat Richmond 8-4 in sectionals Tuesday.
It was Maryville's first playoff win since 1981.

It was the program's first-ever playoff win in only their second-ever playoff appearance. Last year, the Lady Hounds lost their playoff debut to St. Pius X 2-1 in sectionals.

Denied a first-ever playoff win last year, Class 1 No. 4 Maryville has another chance to deliver it tonight when it faces Pembroke Hill in sectionals at 6 p.m. in Kansas City.

The game was supposed to be played Monday night, but wet field conditions in Richmond caused it to be moved back a day. This means the winner will have to play again the following night against either Fatima or Holden at a site yet to be determined.

Keeping disappointments to a minimum, the Hounds qualified a combined 10 athletes for this weekend's Class 3 State Championship Meet in 13 of their 20 events.

But ambitious first-year coach Lori Klaus can envision a dreamy scenario in which the Hounds advance all of their sectional qualifiers to state.

Adams, who is entering his senior year, is a CoSIDA Academic All-American, a team captain and was nominated for the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team in 2012. He's started 19 of Northwest's 27 games at quarterback over the last two seasons.
