Wow, I feel cheated, only got 2 cents 😄 Hauled for a farmer in PC named Mr. Landoll, had several daughters, older brother dated one for a minute, it's how we got the gig. Revno probably dated one too ha.
Remember playing Golden City early seventies, it was usually battle for last place in the old Midwest conf. We weren't very good but only had 15 players. We did hold Lockwood to 45 points in 74 ha, Mike Rader and the tigers won state that year and PC made playoffs under old point system, watched that one in the snow. Rev can correct me if Im wrong on dates. Good times. Also is Doc Fever still with us or no?

Reading the stories about hauling hay in the summer time reminds of my father when he always told me the absolute best offseason workout program for student athletes is hauling hay ... I push mowed as many yards as I could and shoveled snow for a dozen or so elderly neighbors, but I never once got to experience hooking and throwing hay bales. Kind of feel like I was cheated in my youth.

During my time at the Globe Mike Rader (he was head coach at Lamar at the time) treated me very well and was always good to share a story and conversation. I remember covering the 2001 Lockwood team at Class 1 championship game in St. Louis and his son Luke was a running back with that team and Mike was on staff. I feel old thinking how long Luke has been a coach now.

I'm pretty sure Anvil has all the season team records for the small schools who no longer play football like Golden City ... then again he has team records for high schools that no longer exist including places like Weir and McCune in Kansas. When I was tracking down Carl Junction scores and found games vs. Mindenmines back in the 20's, I had no idea Mindenmines even had a high school back then.

My Uncle used to tell me we were going to work on my tackling (castrating hogs).

Got a nickel a bale my senior summer. Was rolling in dough!

Just did the math and there are 130 schools that play spring softball across 2 classes. Way more than I expected to be honest. Schools as big as Buffalo actually play it and I thought it was all tiny schools. Not that Buffalo is big but you get what I mean I'm sure.

My alma mater made the final four for spring softball last year and they’ve probably got an enrollment of around 375 or so grades 9-12 if I had to guess.

A lot of smaller schools that can’t support volleyball and softball both in the fall. Or don’t want to support both.

Some choose to support both those programs and the ability to field teams. Most of those schools that play these sports in theses seasons would not have the #'s to support both if same season. A few teams see a chance to chase added success by being the bigger teams playing. All my opinion, but all makes sense.
