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?

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.

The Hartwig-Schmidtke Couple Migrates to Cleveland

Today’s birthday girl is Martha Wilhelmine Bertha Schmdtke, who, according to a transcription of her German baptism record below, was born on November 12, 1867. Bertha’s later gravestone says she was born on that date in 1868. Her death certificate says she was born on January 17, 1866. I happen to think that she was born in 1867 because a church record also uses that date. Bertha was the daughter of Friedrich and Wilhelmina (Nehm) Schmidtke. When Bertha came to America aboard the ship, Dresden, in 1892, she was said to be 24 years old. Her passenger list says she was from Konigsberg and headed towards Illinois.
