Attached is the most up to date Soccer schedule for the high school.


The game scheduled with Parsons today has been cancelled because of their field being too wet and unplayable. Looking for a date to reschedule.

Lady Titan Golf played an 18 hole tournament at Briarbrook, hosted by Carl Junction. The following schools were there: Lamar, Carthage, Joplin, Republic, Carl Junction, Pittsburg, and Webb City. Missouri only gives out the top two teams, but your Lady Titans placed 3rd. Missouri also only hands out the top 5 individual places. Mallory Thompson placed 2nd overall, Reese Grundy tied for 4th place. The Lady Titans were not intimidated playing the bigger schools at all. They hung in there and played very well.

Jr. High fall sports photos will be Wednesday, September 13th. Kids will be called out at 2:15 and we will start pictures then. They will still practice after photos.

Lady Titans Golf placed 3rd as a team at Girard on Thursday. Individually, Mallory Thompson tied for first but lost the tie breaker and finished in second. Reese Grundy placed third. Great job, ladies!
