<p>Prep Hoops Missouri continues its preseason previews with a look at the Kansas City Suburban Conference Silver Preview. The league features defending Class 6 state champion Staley, who is in a retooling stage after losing a host of top level players. However, they will still field a very strong team this year. Liberty will also field a solid unit and look for Lee's Summit, Park Hill, Park Hill South and Lee's Summit North to be competitive.</p>
