Missouri high school forfeits playoff football game for interesting reason

This season has been one to forget for The Principia School's high school football team (St. Louis, Missouri). Now, the Panthers' 2026 season is over despite still having a playoff game on the schedule. According to a report from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the team forfeited its second-round postseason game against Crystal City (MO). The reason for the forfeit? To address culture issues. “While we’re disappointed with how the season ended, we believe this was a necessary step in moving our program forward,” The Principia School athletic director Shawn Brown told the Post-Dispatch. With the loss, the Panthers finish the season with a 2-7 record. The team gave up 54 or more points five times and 60 or more points four times. In their six on-field losses, the Panthers lost by an average of 29 points. In their two wins, the Panthers did put up a ton of points, scoring 70 against Veritas Christian Academy (MO) and 66 against Confluence Prep Academy (MO). This year is just the latest what's been a trying near-two-decade stretch for the Panthers. Principia School last won more than five games back in 2009. Since that season, the Panthers have compiled an overall record of

Collinsville Schools gear up for 100-year anniversary celebration of Kahoks athletics on Nov. 16th

In a little than a week, the Collinsville school district will celebrate a major milestone in its rich history as November 16 th marks the 100 th anniversary of the athletic programs team nickname, the Kahoks. Collinsville High School athletic director Clay Smith said there has been a palpable buzz around the school the last few weeks about next week’s 100-year celebration. “We’re excited about it and it’s not every day you get to celebrate a 100-year birthday, especially for the name of our mascot which is extremely cool for us in the athletic department,” Smith said. It’s hard to think that 100 years later since 1926 that we still have the name that represents Collinsville and all the generations of families and coaches and gyms, so yeah, it’s an exciting time.” The Kahoks nickname was born out of a search that started in late October of 1926. On October 26, 1926, the Collinsville High School newspaper, The Chanticleer, asked students to submit ideas for a nickname for the school's athletic teams. Ultimately, the goal was to find a name that represented Collinsville and, as the newspaper put it, would “instill fear in the hearts of the opponent.” Only three
