KC Barnstormers

Olathe Northwest emerged as the 2024 Class 6A state baseball and softball champion, capturing its fourth title and first since 2017. The team surged in the championship game with a decisive three‑run homer from Kendall Yarnell, who extended her state record for career home runs to 47, while pitcher Bre Severino delivered a dominant performance in the circle. Johnson County signees Kennedy Glassford and catcher Lily Winright are expected to provide veteran presence as the team pursues a repeat title in their Olathe region. As the KC Barnstormers continue activities in the area, the strength of high‑school competition offers strong baseball and softball foundations locally.
