Tigers to Host Rock Port for Opener

Worth County will know right away where they stand in football as they will host Rock Port for the first game of the year August 30th. They will then turn around and travel to Mound City on September 13th for their third game of the year as they will face two powerhouses for their first three games of the season.

They will face tail-enders West Nodaway (September 6th) at West Nodaway, CFX at home (September 20th), and travel to North Nodaway (September 27th) before coming home to Nodaway-Holt on October the 4th. That contest will be an interesting test, pitting Worth County against a team on the rise in the Trojans. Nodaway-Holt had a winning record last year after they had gone winless the year before and threw a scare into the Tigers at Graham last year.

Worth County will then travel to South Holt on October the 11th, a place where they have always had trouble playing regardless of the recordbook, before coming home for a showdown with defending state champion Stanberry (18th) and Tarkio (25th). The latter game will be an interesting challenge as the Tigers could turn right around and play the Indians in districts depending on the standings at that point. Worth County played consecutive games against the Indians last year and won handily both times.
