RICHMOND – The Spartans beat the Mules, 44-6, last week, but now the question is whether Richmond can beat the Lathrop team’s brush with COVID-19.
A football coach has the virus and “some players are showing symptoms,” Lathrop District Superintendent Chris Fine stated. As a result, everyone on both teams are required to self-quarantine, meaning they cannot attend school and cannot play football again until they are cleared.
RICHMOND – Questions about the campaign for governor and how she plans to appeal to rural voters drew responses to this newspaper from the Democratic candidate, Missouri Auditor Nicole Galloway.
