If nothing else, 2014 wide receiver Monte Harrison (Lee’s Summit, Mo./Lee’s Summit West) made his first varsity football start count.
In front of a national TV audience on ESPN, Harrison caught four passes for 119 yards and two touchdowns in Lee’s Summit West’s 23-0 shutout victory Saturday against defending Missouri Class 5 state champion Kansas City Staley. LSW and Staley competed in an epic, four-overtime state semifinal last year that Staley won 76-70.
Harrison set the tone with an 11-yard, catch-and-run touchdown reception in the first quarter, and he was equally impressive throughout the first half. Similar performances could cause a spike in his football recruiting process. He currently has interest from Missouri, Kansas, Illinois and Oklahoma. Harrison attended a one-day camp at Missouri over the summer.
