Based on a poll conducted with the coaches of the GRC and GRC West, Maysville and St. Joseph Christian are expected to be crowned as conference champions this season.

GRC

Maysville and Putnam County split the GRC championship last season, and the race is expected tobe as tight this season.  Both had four first-place votes, but Maysville edged out Putnam County in points.  Polo received one first-place vote and is the coaches' pick to finish third.  

Gallatin is a newcomer to the conference race this season after playing in a co-op with Tri-County in the past.  Brookfield and Marceline will also be playing their first season in the GRC.

GRC West


St. Joseph Christian is the coaches' pick to win the GRC West.  The Lions are two-time defending champions looking to become the first baseball team in either conference to accomplish the three-peat.

King City and Albany both received one first-place vote and were picked to finish second and third, respectively.

Pattonsburg rejoins the conference race this season after playing in a co-op with Gilman City hosting last season.  Stanberry will be in their first year as a program this season.

Bell Game Rivalry joins the GRC

by Jeremy Benson, GrandRiverConference.com It's a mere 12 miles that separate Brookfield High School and Marceline High School, as per Google Maps.  But what's truly remarkable is the 54-year hiatus since these two schools last clashed in a conference football game. Brookfield and Marceline were both in the North Central Missouri Conference (NCMC) in 1970.  In 1970, the NCMC decided to fold.  A new conference with the same name would be organized,  Brookfield remained in a revamped NCMC from 1971 to 1975 before going independent until 1986, when they joined the Tri-Rivers Conference.  They jumped to the Clarence Cannon Conference (CCC) in 2010. Marceline was in the Northern Missouri Conference from 1971 to 1974 before joining the Lewis & Clark Conference in 1975, where they would be members for almost 50 years. However, the history between these two teams goes back much further. They played against each other for the first time in 1909. Brookfield won the fi...
