Kansas vs. Missouri is the No. 1 rivalry in the city according to my recent ranking of the top five rivalries in the city.
↵If the rivalry extends to high school, then Kansas has taken the lead. Missouri and Kansas all-stars played in the Kansas City Metro Baseball Coaches Association All-Star Game.
↵↵↵Ryne Stanek, a recent Blue Valley graduate who was drafted in the third round by the Seattle Mariners last week, and Jason Adam, a BV Northwest grad who was snagged by the Royals in the fifth round, didn’t play. But Kansas still rode its strong stable of pitchers to an 8-4 win in a game that pits the spring’s top seniors from either side of the state line against one another at Kauffman Stadium.

I wonder if that extends to high school as well.
↵From my experience (Missouri high school), the Kansas and Missouri rivalry does extend to high school.
