Sources in the Raytown School District stated that the call for ambulance services went out at 7:12 and that video footage show the arrival of the ambulance at 7:27. By doing the math, and deducting the 7 minutes response time, we have 8 minutes for dispatch to take the call and relay it to a Raytown EMS unit.
More on this if and when I learn more facts.
Raytown broke a long loosing streak against rival Raytown South with a decisive 35 to 14 win on Friday.
RaytownOnline.com received multiple calls about the game, but not about the score. The calls were about the amount of time it took an ambulance to take an injured Raytown High player away for medical attention. One call claimed it took 45 minutes for the ambulance to arrive, but research indicates that was not the case, closer to 20 minutes was the actual amount of time that passed. The injury took place 3 minutes into the game. The game started at 7:00 pm. Given this, the probable time of the injury was between 7:04 and 7:08, depending on how much time passed with the game clock not running. Photos received from people attending the game show the ambulance at 7:28 pm. (see below)
Sources at Raytown City Hall report that the EMS log indicates a 7 minute response time. What is not known is how long it took the coaching staff to decide to call an ambulance. Requests to the School District for this information have yet to be responded to. Normally 911 calls would be routed to the Raytown Police Dept. dispatch and they relay this to the EMS unit. Normally this would also be relayed to the Raytown Fire District and they also would respond. Sources in the Raytown Fire District have no record of a call coming in on this incident. These are the facts to the best of my knowledge.  The Cardinals won their third post-season game against Center by a score of 64 to 56 this Tuesday. The game took place at Blue Springs South and advances South in the Missouri Class 4 boys sectionals. Next up for the Cardinals is Kearney on Saturday at 1:00 pm in the Silverstein Eye Centers Arena in Independence.
Leading scorer for the Cardinals was Senior Alex Herndon with 20 points. Truly South has turned into a Cinderella team in the post season after a less than exciting regular season. Raytown’s Jeremi Barnes is competing in the NAIA Indoor National Championships in Johnson City, Tenn today. His event is scheduled for 1:30 pm. Jeremi has the 8th longest Triple Jump distance in the nation. Jeremi is a Freshman at Avila University and is the son of Donna and Jerome Barnes of Raytown.

Hampton made Bluejay history by becoming the school’s first state wrestling champion in 48 years.
“Domo did a spectacular job this weekend and this year,” Wrestling Coach Peter McDavitt said. “He maintained his composure in very close matches throughout the tournament. He is an intelligent young man who works just as hard in the classroom and demonstrates leadership and a positive attitude in everything he does. I couldn’t be more pleased with him and for him.” On his way to the championship, Hampton, whose season record was 44-6, defeated Dylan Gillete from Francis Howell Central, Kyle Stein from Lee’s Summit West, Solomon Jackson from McCluer North, and Mason Costa from Lindbergh. Hampton’s classmate, Raytown High Senior Braden Best, placed 5th in the 182-pound competition, and is the school’s first two-time state medalist in over 30 years. Going into the state competition, Best boasted a record of 50-4. He lost in the first round to Donovan Benetti of Nixa, wrestled back to defeat Timothy Ghormley of Melville, defeated Dustin Jones of Lindbergh and Adrian Palmer of Lebanon, lost to Elias Vaoifi from Fort Osage, and defeated Trey Storey of Blue Springs for 5th place. Raytown High finished 17th with 35 points overall.

The Royals trailed until in the 9th inning KC was able to tie the score 2 to 2 and then finish the 9th without the Mets scoring. The game continued in extra innings until at the top of the 12th inning the Royals put 5 more runs on the scoreboard and finished the bottom of the inning by holding the Mets from adding any runs. It was a nail biting game until the 9th. To say that this team never gives up is an understatement.
The Royals defeated the Blue Jays 4 to 3. to win the American League title and advance to the World Series. The World Series starts here on Tuesday. The Kansas City Royals defeated the Toronto Blue Jays by a score of 14 to 2. This puts the Royals up 3 games to 1 and they only need 1 more win to win the series and earn a place in the World Series.

The Raytown Blue Jays record (11 – 14) earned them a 7th seed in Missouri Class 5 Boys Baseball District Tournament. They beat Truman, Raytown South and Blue Springs to become Missouri Class 5 District 14 Champions. On Tuesday May 26, they played at Lee Summit West in the first round of the Missouri Class 5 Boys Baseball State Tournament Championship Brackets.
In the bottom of the third inning while down by 5, Senior Center Fielder #24 Maurice Bruce Jr gave the Raytown fans something to cheer about by hitting a standup double down the left field line. The Blue Jays scored 4 runs that inning.
It was tied 5 – 5 going into the 5th when Junior right fielder #7 Grant Johnston made a rifle throw to Catcher Sophomore #20 Joe Benkovich to tag out #50 as he tried to take home.
A great line drive catch by Senior shortstop #32 Austin Johnson. However, it was not enough to stop Lee Summit West.
