• Bishop Miege, a Roeland Park private school, defeated Wamego 35-14 in the Class 4A state title game played in Topkea , for the school’s 11th football title overall and first since 2019.
• Meanwhile, Mill Valley, in the USD 232 district, took home its fourth straight Class 5A state championship, beating Maize 28-14 in Pittsburg

What they’re saying

Mill Valley head coach Joel Applebee told the Post that the Jaguars played defense “extremely well,” which helped secure Saturday’s victory — along with senior quarterback Hayden Jay making key offensive plays.

• “Obviously we feel real good,” Applebee said. “Winning a state championship is just a great accomplishment and just shows all the hard work our kids have put in throughout the year.”

What else: Bishop Miege coach John Holmes said a 93-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Mac Armstrong to Taryn Jackson was a key play that made a big difference in the victory.

• Now, Holmes said, his team — like the Jaguars — are going to enjoy the celebration before getting back to work.

Key quote: “For us, our expectation is to be playing in this game every year,” Holmes said. “Obviously, this week the players [are] off and then off-season workouts will get rolling next week. We have some really good seniors that we have to replace, so I know our underclassmen are going to be ready for that.”

Parting thought: A proposed rule change would move Bishop Miege and other private schools up a class, meaning it would potentially have to vie with Mill Valley in Class 5A in future seasons.

• That so-called “multiplier” rule has been approved by the Kansas State Board of Education but also needs to be approved by the state legislature in order to take effect.
