Simply
the best
The Hickman football team, fresh
off a Class 6 state semifinal appearance in 2003, opened the 2004 season
with state-championship aspirations. But before the first game was over,
those plans needed a revision. Senior quarterback Blake Tekotte, who broke
the school record for passing yards as a junior, suffered a torn anterior
cruciate ligament in his left knee during a 37-7 victory over Lee’s Summit
North.
The next week, the Kewpies suffered
a 14-7 loss to Rockhurst. Two weeks later, they traveled to Blue Springs
to play the top-ranked Wildcats. But a funny thing happened on the way
to the pity party. Hickman overcame a 16-13 halftime deficit and thumped
Blue Springs 34-16. That gave the Kewpies the top ranking in the state,
which they never gave back.
Thanks in large part to a defense
that yielded just 8.5 points per game, Hickman wasn’t seriously challenged
again until a rematch with Rockhurst in the state semis. Trailing 7-0 entering
the fourth quarter, the Kewpies broke through for 10 points, and senior
Reggie Hatton blocked a potential game-tying field goal in the waning seconds.

The state championship game wasn’t
nearly as dramatic. Hickman spanked Hazelwood East 34-7, giving the Kewpies
their first state title since 1974.
It was a team effort in every sense.
It appears that none of the seniors will receive Division I scholarships,
but they more than held their own against more highly recruited opponents.
Luke Harper anchored the offensive and defensive lines, Brandon Kendrick
rushed for more than 1,000 yards and Cedric Alvis piled up more than 1,000
all-purpose yards.
Coach Gregg Nesbitt made all the
right moves keeping the team together after the early loss of Tekotte.
"Every year, you come in as a coach,
and you have a certain amount of question marks," Nesbitt said. "We just
had more positive answers than the other teams. It’s almost like everywhere
we needed somebody to really step up, they did."
