Chance was third in the pole vault (6’11”).

But, with some schools moving in and out of eight man, that has freed up several teams to add Plattsburg for this fall. There are two drawbacks, however – the Tigers will play most of their games away from Plattsburg, and those trips won’t be just down the road. Four of their eight projected games will be against Central River Conference members.

Plattsburg will open their season at Knox County on September 1 before hosting their home opener on September 8 against Schuyler County. They’ll then play at Slater on September 15 and at Kansas City East on September 22. The following week, September 29, they are expected to host Twin Cedars (Iowa), provided Iowa’s governing body approves the game.

Knowing that nearby Bishop LeBlond is an independent school in football, Coach Boswell approached the St. Joseph institution about playing a home-and-away series in 2023.

As a result, Plattsburg will face the Golden Eagles in St. Joseph on October 6 and then again in Plattsburg on October 20. Between those two games, the Tigers will travel to Concordia on October 13.

The trip to Knox County will be more than 150 miles, one-way, while Slater will be 100 miles away and Concordia will be more than 70 miles.

Coach Boswell said crafting the schedule was a challenge that took a lot of persistence and communication with the football community. He was especially appreciative to the eight-man football community in Missouri for their support.

“These men genuinely love football and are committed to growing the game,” Boswell said, “I know our transition could have been a lot harder without these people. I also appreciate the head football
