The Princeton school board voted 6-1 to join the ranks of eight man football. This means that they will compete in the GRC West with Worth County and Pattonsburg. The school will seek to change divisions for the rest of their programs as well.
This year, Princeton was down to 17 players and forfeited one of their games due to injuries. The entire team and coaching staff made a special trip to Stanberry to see the Worth County and Stanberry teams play.
The move will not affect the current agreement between the GRC and Highway 275 conferences to have teams play two games against members of the other conference. In fact, it would fill out Worth County’s schedule, meaning they would not have to schedule a long road game. In recent years, Worth County has had to schedule long road trips of several hours to fill out their schedule with Schuyler County and North Shelby.
The current conference sharing agreement between the GRC and 275 is for six years. Next year, Worth County will play games against Platte Valley and Mound City.
