JACKSON, Mo. — Cape Central fought valiantly in the first quarter against the defending Class 5 state champion Jackson Indians. The Tigers drove down the field and appeared to score a touchdown to cut the score to 14-7 early in the second quarter when quarterback Adrian Fox found receiver Clayton McClard in the end zone. That play, however, would be called back for holding...

Connor Tollison doesn’t have clearance to speak to the media, an almost universal policy for Power 5 true freshmen. But before the hulking offensive tackle cracked Mizzou’s two-deep depth chart, he cleared sizable running lanes for a Jackson High offense that had its way with Class 5 opposition...

STE. GENEVIEVE – You have to give Jay Pope credit for trying. A year ago, he was an assistant football coach at Jackson High School, and he vowed to arrive at the school prior to Indian head coach Brent Eckley in the morning just one time.

As Tambria Wilson lined up on the outside shade of a much larger Hillsboro offensive tackle, Cape Central assistant Steve Hemby barked orders from the sideline. An eager and undersized Wilson took Hemby's direction as she carried the disposition of a defensive end looking to make a game-saving stop, though the scoreboard told a different story...

COLUMBIA, Mo. - By the time the Mizzou marching band broke into its rendition of AJR's "Bang" at Memorial Stadium, its hit chorus matched the Tigers' first three drives against a visibly outclassed Southeast Missouri State. Bang. Bang. Bang. It took Mizzou all of 17 first-quarter plays for the nation's all-purpose yards leader, Tyler Badie, to score on a 49-yard touchdown, a 11-yard reception and for preseason All-SEC quarterback Connor Bazelak to hit D'ionte Smith on a 46-yard scoring strike...

MALDEN — Malden’s Kene Davis was nearly unstoppable. Well … technically he was stopped a few times. Davis took nearly every touch for a touchdown as Malden routed Chaffee 54-6 on the Green Wave’s homecoming night. On Malden’s first offensive play of the game, Davis sprinted through a monstrous hole off the side of the offensive line, bounced outside and outran the Chaffee defense for a 71-yard touchdown...
