Actually that is not true. 2013 Kearney made it to the semifinals after coming back to surprise Fort Osage 13-9 in another of those very brutal KC metro playoff classics. Losing that semi was no shame that LSW team was epic good.
It is a crying shame the Sporting stadium was built over in KCK not the Bannister Mall site. They could have enclosed that and we would have an indoor facility.
And on that note, parking aside, I REALLY liked going to Springfield in 2016 even if I did freeze near to death LOL................
I have actually read about this and agree it could be a great option. As for the casino....................
Terrible area and the dome is a dumpster due to lack of upkeep.
The dome was the best for the state championships. Faurot field is a great place to hold the state championship but having to play in a bigger stadium the game atmosphere doesn’t feel the same then playing at the dome. I say in the next 3+ years MSHSAA will go back to 5 Classes. We are technically at 305 schools including University Academy and MMA. I see another 4 to 5 schools head to 8-Man in the coming years.
The dome still exist but they now host the Gateway Dirt Nationals during state Championship week. I agree MSHSAA need to the move the season up 1 week and bring back the state Championships on Thanksgiving Weekend.
Here's hoping Harrisonville gets back in the mix soon! I miss those games.............
The next golden years are arriving here fast. Talent way down the line to the pee wees here..............
Agree Kearney would have been all over Parkway Central. Past is the past my focus is on tomorrow and beyond..................
I thought they were going to rotate years but they just stuck with Columbia maybe because it’s home for mshsaa and mizzou is p5? But everyone I heard from who went to the games at plaster said it was fantastic. Granted these were all people from SWMO so only driving an hour or so probably was a plus. But facility wise everyone seemed to think it was a good fit for the event. Wish they would have more there. Do they still have basketball there or did they give that all to Columbia as well? The MSU arena is just as good as mizzous.
I prefer Plaster to Mizzou. The upper deck is close to the field. Great place to watch a game.
It shouldn't be a home game for certain areas all the time. Every sport should rotate.
I agree. I can buy the logic of having it in the centrally located state capital or even Columbia with UMC facilities (especially if you are prioritizing the kc and stl populations), not every town is equipped to host that kind of event. But Springfield clearly is and that shares the love and travel related $$ with the southern part of the state instead of keeping it all up north.
They just redid the classes. They will give this set up at least 5 years.
