North Harrison to Join GRC; Christian Rejoins 8 Man Ranks

North Harrison will join the GRC, effective next year, the GRC announced Friday in a news release. The vote was unanimous. With the move, North Harrison's softball team will leave the HDC with an intact record of 56 straight conference wins. The games had been decided by increasingly lopsided margins in recent years, with the exception of an exciting 5-1 win over Mercer in the conference tournament. The Shamrocks will join the GRC West, where they will compete against Pattonsburg, Worth County, Albany, Stanberry, King City, St. Joseph Christian, and North Andrew. They will also play a crossover game against a GRC East opponent.

In addition, St. Joseph Christian will be rejoining the ranks of 8 man football effective next year, adding another game on Worth County and Pattonsburg's schedule, the GRC announced on its website. The Lions had jumped to 11 man with a cooperative agreement with Northland Christian; however, the Lions have not come close to winning a game in the two years they have competed. Last year, they were forced to travel to Maryville in the first round of districts for Class 2. The Lions are ending the agreement with Northland.
