Having covered the Kansas City, Kan., League the past two seasons, one of the best things about the league is the league-wide rivalry between the five schools.

Between some schools, fans, students and players, there are some tense feelings and borderline hatred exchanged.

As a Sumner Academy graduate, the Sabres are either beloved by fans in the community or hated. There's really no room in the middle. It's a black and white issue.

Still, at the same time, there's a big-time pride in Kansas City, Kan. We like to see KCK products do well. The greatest example was Maurice Greene, the F.L. Schlagle graduate who won a gold medal.

Fans from all over the city pulled for him to win and win big.

The leads me to this question, which I'll also poll beneath as the weekend poll for this weekend.

Should fans of Harmon, Schlagle, Washington and Wyandotte (or other Wyandotte County teams) root for the Sabres to bring home the trophy?

I can see it both ways – rivalries are too strong and a rival school winning a title could damage (or at least hurt) other programs.

But Sumner is still KCK and KCK would be in the spotlight.

Thoughts?
