Perhaps the Chillicothe High School soccer Hornets got their 2022 calendar pages flipped over early. With Halloween not for another month and 11 days, the CHS booters produced two tricks – hat tricks, that is – this past Tuesday as they sailed past visiting St.
with Wehrle The Missouri Depa rtme n t of Conservation will host a free guided float trip on the Grand River near Gallatin from 8:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m.
Chillicothe High School’s 2022 Homecoming celebration successfully unfurled as planned last weekend from the parade opener in resplendent weather to, after extensive rain during Saturday’s morning and early-afternoon hours, a return of fair weather for that evening’s dance and formal royalty coronation ceremonies. In between, the football game against recent “cousin” Cameron developed as hoped and expected, albeit only after an opening, fleeting “hiccup.” A young, relatively-inexperienced Cameron Dragons squad proved unintentionally cooperative in the Hornets’ registering a comfortable, no-stress 42-0 triumph at Jerry Litton Memorial Stadium II that squared Chillicothe’s records this fall at 2-2 overall and 1-1 in Midland Empire Conference play.

After nearly doing so the week before, last weekend’s fourth week of the 2022 Missouri High School football season produced not a single victory by the eight area teams outside of Chillicothe covered this season by the C-T.
COLUMBIA — The University of Missouri Tigers made it a clear priority to get wide receiver Luther Burden III more involved in the team’s final tuneup before entering Southeastern Conference football play, and the move paid immediate dividends in last Saturday’s 3417 victory over Abilene Christian. After the Tigers’ defense forced a threeand-out on the Wildcats’ opening drive of the game, Burden received the ensuing punt on a bounce along the left sideline at his own 22yard line, then followed his blockers across the field before racing down the right stripe for a 78yard score.
