for a school that has literally won one title in the 'major sports' in the history of their school, they sure are pretty uppity.
Lincoln
- Thread starter kaching
- Start date
If you live in Tipton and you're uppity...that's just a whole new set of issues.
Kaysinger, like the Show Me Conference did, has school size problems. The larger schools (Cole Camp, Windsor, Stover (soon)) have a football scheduling problem while the smaller schools have population problems (Otterville, La Monte, Green Ridge,etc.) The smaller schools have to co-op with other conference schools or not have sub varsity games as well. Tipton when the left mentioned that not being able to have sub varsity games along with the size of the conference schedule (10 games plus 3 games in conference tournament) limits what you can do scheduling wise.
I just think for the long term good of the league and all sports programs (Cole Camp, Windsor, Stover) need to move on to Ozark Highlands or start a new conference that revolves around football. Ideally a Cole Camp, Windsor, Stover, Versailles, Tipton, Warsaw aka a Tri-County lite makes too much sense for it too happen lol.
Maybe Camdenton would consider joining, since they are interested dodging good competition, and the future classes are not looking too good.
Lincoln, Windsor, Cole Camp, Crest Ridge, Lone Jack, and Cass-Midway make up the West Central Conference for football only. It is made up of former Kaysinger, I-70, and WEMO conference teams. Adrian, Tipton, Wellington, and Slater have dropped out of the WCC in recent years.
Going to be down to 5 schools in a year (after Lincoln goes 8 man). Stover could fit there eventually. Not a lot of other schools in the area playing 11 man. Not many obvious choices in Class 1 or Class 2 in the area.

schedule up! With the current MSHSAA seeding process it's the only way.
I hear the juggernauts in Stockton and at Springfield Central enjoy playing class 1 teams.
Skyline seems like a good fit not too much travel in the region but isn't Knob a bit big for those other schools?
Bigger does not always mean better. They have been playing them some in all sports. You never know from each semester what they will have at Knob.
skyline went from usually pretty good to absolute craptastic in no time flat.
talent went bye bye...but why?
My God who knows? Little bitty Urbana has been a feel good HS athletics story since I was a youngster (some sports still is BTW).
I do know they are annually one of the hardest HSFB programs to read. They fool me time and again...............
The easiest barometer to read on how Knob will be is whether or not we are at war. US is at war, more leaders and their often high school age kids end up in Knob.
