They have split the school up and will most likely have both schools and Helias all in the same districts in sports? If Blair Oaks keeps growing, they will soon be there with them as well. Talk about rivalries.....
What will Jefferson City do now.....

- Start date
I don't know that Blair Oaks will ever grow enough to be in districts with the Jeff City schools, probably not even Helias for most sports. Blair Oaks has leveled off the last few years and only sit at an enrollment of 430.
I think it would be wise for the two Jeff City schools, the three Columbia schools, Smith-Cotton and may be even Camdenton to form a conference. Helias might join but not sure with them going to the catholic conference in St. Louis. It would make more sense for Helias to join if a local conference was formed. Less money on travel and less travel on school nights for students and coaches, and they play all of those teams anyways.

I agree and Rolla could be added too. Man it will split Jefferson City up when all those teams have to play each other. Also, I guess people get their wish for the Helias vs Jeff City football games too....
I'd say Rolla and/or Waynesville only make sense without Sedalia in the equation.
- Battle
- Hickman
- Rock Bridge
- JC #1
- JC #2
- Camdenton
- Rolla
- Waynesville
Camdenton is approximately an hour and a half away from Columbia and Sedalia, it's an hour from Jefferson City. They would never have to travel farther than an hour and a half for a conference game.
Camdenton is approximately an hour and a half away from Springfield, 5 conference schools are in Springfield, as soon as Central joins. It's almost two and a half hours away from Joplin and West Plains.
It may not be much of a difference but it would be less travel time for Camdenton. It would certainly eliminate the two plus hour bus rides for conference games. Their size fits in with the Mid-Mo schools just as well as it does with the Ozark Conference schools.

Yep, Joplin gone. West Plains is really the only bad trip left. The idea, on the surface isn't awful. But truthfully, I couldn't imagine that being worth a move.
I would say:
Jeff 1
Jeff 2
Helias
Camdenton
Rolla
Waynesville
To start with.... Then go from there
