The countdown is on. We are less than SEVEN WEEKS from the start of the high school football season.
Things will look different around the tri-lakes. Three of the areas four teams are in new conferences. Only Branson, remains in the same league, but that will be different, as Joplin has joined the COC. Notice there is no longer a need to have LARGE in front of those letters. Also, Forsyth has a more manageable schedule and will be competing in a district and the post season for the first time. For the first time in the programs existence, Jacob Hamon will not be on the Hollister Tiger Blue and White. He has joined the staff at Branson and former Mountain Grove coach, Rich Adkins, has taken over the reigns.
