Suburban Big Six 2011 Preview

Last season for the Suburban Big Six was a good one last season four out of the six teams in the conference made playoff apperances last season (Blue Springs, Blue Springs South, Lee's Summit and Raymore-Peculiar) But the star power in the conference this season will have a drastic new look. With the loss of 2,000 rusher and All-Everything back Darrian Miller, Lee's Summit and current Mizzou Quarterback Corbin Berkstresser and Ray-Pec Quarterback Cameron Coffman new players will have to step up in the league this season. Blue Springs still remains a solid favorite in the league but will have to find some players to step up to keep teams like Blue Springs South and Lee's Summit off their heals.
