Heading back down. Not too surprising. Are any other schools doing same and are there any new programs starting this fall?

Went through Crane and work is progressing on their field. Don't know when they will field a team? Lots of new homes in that area, I think they'll be a good fit for the Mid-Lakes or SWC.

Tsk tsk tsk. Guess they were successful at stopping one Adrian title run but couldn't keep the numbers down far enough this year.

Crane is starting Jr high football next fall. Not sure what their timetable is to play Varsity.

Have to think Drehle retires after this season.

dont think they would fit will in Mid-Lakes they are too small. If they were to double in size they would still be smaller than the current smallest school in the league.

There isn't additional schools in the Greater Ozarks that are thinking of adding? Pleasant Hope and Crane would be the only two right now, but I heard that Spokane at one point in time had a field lined out. Wondering if this league formed with the idea it could one day be a small school football conference. Would it be something if Greenwood could actually bring there's back. I guess we'll see.
