Body Snyder is on Richmond’s varsity football coaching staff. He also is in his fourth season as the head varsity girls basketball coach.

Body RICHMOND – The area wresting scene and coaching Richmond wrestlers are nothing new to first-year Spartans varsity coach Cody Hogan. Hogan is a 2007 Richmond High graduate.

Body HARDIN – First-year varsity girls basketball coach Annie Finley has known her Bulldogs for years. One Bulldog has known Finley for a lifetime: senior post player and daughter Morgan Finley.

Body HARDIN – As he prepared Hardin-Central to start the 2021-2022 varsity boys basketball season, coach Brent Behler had an advantage over last season. COVID wiped out the Bulldogs’ hopes of getting summer workouts in 2020, Behler recalled after practice Nov.

Body ORRICK – The Bearcats’ attempt to return to the Class 1 state quarterfinals in boys basketball has begun. Led by 18 points from sophomore Jaxon Miller and 12 from junior Zander Stevinson, the Bearcats cruised past Missouri Highway 10 rival Norborne 42-23 Nov.

Body ORRICK – Zach McGill sees improvement in his second season as Orrick’s varsity girls basketball coach. As of Nov.

Body RICHMOND – The annoying “what-if game” is cruel to play and starts like this: What if… • A line judge had not ruled Jordan Alexander’s brilliant sideline catch, both hands on the ball, “bobbled” and incomplete?

Body MARYVILLE – At least 250 members of the Spartan Army – most wearing red and many coming out of their seats to scream – rocked the house during Richmond’s 49-23 quarterfinal win Nov. 20 at Maryville.

Body RICHMOND – The St. Michael the Archangel Guardians faltered on the opening kickoff, the opening snap and throughout the game in their 69-14 District championship loss to Richmond.

Body KING CITY – The Bearcats’ lone touchdown in their 78-6 season-ending loss Nov. 12 on the road to King City/Union Star was an accident of sorts, Orrick varsity 8-man football coach Kirk Thacker said.
