MVC improvements receiving positive feedback (06/24/10)
It's become a more common phrase to hear: "We're putting in a new field." The pronouns on campus are changing.

Construction of Gregg-Mitchell Field progresses --Joe Thompson of Marshall is doing the base work on the field and ProGrass will install synthetic turf...

Kurtis Gregory is about to end one phase of his career, and is preparing to begin another.

SLATER -- Coming off a 45-0 loss to Concordia, the Slater football team could use a break. It's not going to get one Friday. The Wildcats return to Lewis and Clark Conference action at defending league co-champion Marceline, ranked seventh in this week's Class 1 poll...

Prep Grid Round-up ... Week 5: Armstrong breaks loose in 'Hounds' win (09/28/09)
SWEET SPRINGS -- Maybe Santa Fe wished it had formed a football co-op with neighboring Malta Bend. Instead, senior Tyler Armstrong -- an all-CCAA basketball player for the Tigers -- scored four touchdowns Friday against the Chiefs for Sweet Springs, which won an I-70 Conference home contest, 42-6...

Prep Grid Preview ... Week 5: 'Hounds, Chiefs both looking for answers (09/25/09)
It can be fairly said that neither coach whose I-70 Conference squads meet Friday at Sweet Springs is happy with where his team is at approaching the midway point of the season. The 'Hounds' Tim Smith is so disaffected with his offense, which has been shut out twice and is averaging only 8.0 points per game, that he's moved senior all-state guard Zach Thomas to fullback just to get some more blocking...

School News: 'Football in Pink' grows into 'Week in Pink' with more activities to support cancer cause (09/23/09)

Sweet Springs football: 'Hounds squeak by St. Paul (09/14/09)
CONCORDIA -- The Sweet Springs football team recorded its first win of the season Friday, but blew enough opportunities to make the final minutes of its 20-18 I-70 Conference victory at St. Paul anxious. During the first quarter, an interception by senior Tyler Dohrman set the Greyhounds up 20 yards away from the goal, but inches from the line a snap was fumbled at the Saints recovered it...

Smith-Cotton holds off Owls (09/14/09)
Give the winless Marshall football team credit at least for its resilience. Just when it appears a state-ranked opponent is ready to blow the Owls off the field, they somehow answer and sometimes dig in -- in Friday's home opener, nearly enough to throw a scare into No. 8 Smith-Cotton during a 28-21 non-conference loss...

Owls can't stop Grain Valley (09/08/09)
Had Shakespeare's King Richard III been in Marshall head football coach Paul Thomas' shoes Friday, he may have exclaimed, "A stop! A stop! My kingdom for a stop!"
