Plattsburg to Move to Eight Man Football

The Plattsburg School Board voted unanimously to move to eight man football for the next three seasons with a goal of returning to 11 man football in three years, the Clinton County Leader reported Wednesday. They competed in the KCI Conference; however, they did not win a single game last year and were outscored 560-70. They had only 80 boys in high school, of which only 22 went out for football. At one point, they only had 13 people dressed out for one of their games last year. Their closest game was a 55-20 loss to Polo. 

Plattsburg has had opposite fortunes in baseball and basketball. Their basketball team, as of January 19th, was undefeated. Their baseball team last year was 29-9 and went to state. The new baseball cooperative between Northeast Nodaway and Worth County will know right away how good they are, as they will play a game with Plattsburg early in the season.
