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.

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.

Smith-Cotton holds off Owls (09/14/09)
Give the winless Marshall football team credit at least for its resilience.
