By Chris Geinosky Here’s a look at the Week 1 results for the teams in the SBLive Missouri Power 25: 1. Christian Brothers College (1-0) defeated Milton (Ga.)
The Rock Bridge Bruins have a new head football coach.
Matt Perkins will lead the Bruins after serving as the head coach at West Plains the last three seasons. The Zizzers were 29-6 with two district championships and a pair of Ozark Conference titles in his tenure.
The hiring, announced Monday, is pending the approval of the school board.
Schrader
Schrader had left Bolivar the year before after four years as a Liberator to teach and coach in his home state.Â
âHe said, âYour teaching spot is open, if you want to come back,ââ Schrader said. âWe had just moved up there. It was a hard winter. My wife worked in another town, and the weather was bad. She was driving in ice and snow. That night, she looked at me and said, âWeâre going.â So, that was nice to be hired by the district twice.â
This time, Schrader stayed in Polk County.Â
Counting that previous four-year stint, Schrader will have clocked 32 years at Bolivar â just three years short of Pottsâ 35-year coaching career â when he leaves the district at the end of the 2020-21 school year and becomes the City of Bolivarâs first ever superintendent of parks and recreation.
