Audiences can catch the games on Country 101.7 FM and Mix 104.9 FM, where pregame coverage begins at 6:40 p.m. before each kickoff. The dual‑station approach ensures clear reception and a dedicated platform for local listeners to follow the action from the first whistle.
Week one opens with Osage City traveling to Olpe, where the Eagles will play on the brand‑new Olpe Fitness Park field. The matchup sets a high bar for early‑season intensity and showcases the park’s modern amenities to a statewide audience.
The following weeks will feature a rotating lineup of district battles, including a much‑anticipated showdown between Lebo and Hartford that marks both teams’ first district game of the season. A double‑header week will see Madison take on Northern Heights while Burlingame hosts Lebo, adding variety to the schedule.
Later in the season, Olpe will host Pittsburg Colgan, and Chase County will visit Lyndon in week four. Week five brings Chase County back home against Clifton Clyde and pairs Madison with Sedan, while week six highlights pivotal district games with Lebo hosting Goessel and Northern Heights traveling to Chase County.
The regular season wraps up with Madison heading to Flint Hills for its final road test, and the KVOE network has pledged to broadcast every Emporia game, guaranteeing that fans of the state’s capital will not miss a single play.
