Pattonsburg Ousts Gilman City From Football Cooperative; Winston Added

Winston will join Pattonsburg as a member of its football cooperative, both schools announced Tuesday, February 24th, effective for the next football season. This means that Gilman City will not be a member of the football cooperative next year. North Harrison will remain a member of the Pattonsburg football cooperative. Under MSHSAA rules, only three schools can form a football cooperative. This move will also apply to junior high football.

In addition, effective for the upcoming 2025-26 season, Pattonsburg and Winston will form a baseball cooperative. The two schools will continue their junior high and high school softball cooperative, which has been in place for several years. 

The schools are currently considering the potential expansion of their cooperative to include band instruction, marching band, and pep band. A new committee will be formed with representatives from both the Pattonsburg and Winston cooperatives to evaluate their current cooperatives and explore future opportunities.
