Helias backs out of AAA conference
- Thread starter jcpasser12
- Start date
Rumor on the street is the 3 Jeff City schools, 3 Columbia schools, Smith-Cotton and Hannibal for the new conference.
If those schools form a conference than maybe Southern Boone or Macon can join the NCMC.
It would be nice to expand to 8. Centralia, Blair Oaks and Father Tolton could be other options
I'm thinking Blair Oaks and SoBoCo are pretty satisfied with their current affiliations. With Boonville replacing Warsaw that little conference just became even more balanced and with less travel for most.
Seriously? Why would the larger schools want to add 3 small schools?
Hang on to your values Joe!!I backed Out of AA once.......... Best decision I ever made.
Must have been drunk when you typed that. The thread CLEARLY says AAA. Is this related to the auto insurance or road side assistance program at all?I backed Out of AA once.......... Best decision I ever made.
What other options are there? Take away Hannibal and the “larger” schools are not that big
I really like to see a new conference form with 3 Jeff City Schools, 3 Columbia Schools, Smith-Cotton, and Hannibal but I see Bolvier in the new conference. For the NCMC i just see it collasping in a couple of years because how many teams wanting pulled out of the conference and long travel for the teams.
You think Bolivar is joining a conference with 3 JC schools, 3 CoMo schools, S-C, and Hannibal? I feel lost here.
Makes more sense of Waynesville, Rolla, Camdenton or all 3 join the conference
I doubt either Bolivar or Hannibal would join that league. I can't see Hannibal at Bolivar for a softball game on a Tuesday night. Travel would be ridiculous. The 3 JC schools, 3 como schools & SC make perfect sense though.
Well if Hannibal is really a part of the new conference as some seem to think, then travel wouldn't be to bad. If that happens, I would personally like to see a merger with the tri county and try to add a combination or all of North and South Callaway, Centralia, Macon, and Brookfield.
I can’t see North Callaway, Macon, Centralia, and Brookfield merging with the Tri County.
I can understand Centralia, Macon and Brookfield as they are in a solid conference but to my understanding North Callaway has tried to get in the Tri Country in the past
So I did some asking around about the possibility of a new central Missouri conference with the 3 Columbia public schools, 2 Jeff, Helias, Smith Cotton and Hannibal and it looks like it is going to happen in 2020. Could be the end of the NCMC
They both did it for many years…plus it is not that different than Marshall to Hannibal.
Its also 2 1/2 to 3 hours during weekdays is a haul but they did it during the old CMC conference days
That’s a great idea. SC hasn’t played many peers since leaving the Ozark Conference years ago…they were the biggest fish in the WCMO by far. I’m afraid they will be in over their heads with the new CEMO though.
