Central High School's football team will trade some long drives for trips across town.
This season, the Bulldogs will travel 95 miles to Nevada and 136 miles to Jefferson City for varsity football games.
The Chaminade Red Devils, the 2015 state champions which could likely start the 2016 season as the No. 1-ranked Class 5 team in Missouri, will travel 210 miles to play the final game of the regular season at Harrison Stadium.
This is why a move to the Ozark Conference is an enormous victory for Central High School — and for the conference itself.
