In 1929, the Grand River Six was born and the long storied history of the Grand River Conference (GRC) began. The original six, Albany, Stanberry, Grant City, Bethany, Maysville and King City, began playing football and basketball in 1930. Along the way membership changed until a 16 team megaconference of small schools enticed Jeremy Benson to start covering all of it. What began as a small hobby, blossomed into grandriverconference.com, GRC Facebook, Twitter and Instagram comprehensive social media coverage of North Missouri sports. If you want a score or background story or deep statistical dive into the Grand River Conference season, grandriverconference.com and associated accounts have the latest and most accurate information. Recently the conference was aligned into two conferences (GRC and GRC West) but he still covers it all. Join us for the story of the conference, it's many GOATS of the GRC (who are found in Hall of Fames from Missouri to the College Football and NFL HOFs). Jeremy's passion for the GRC and it's teams comes through in this fun conversation!

A lively review of the creation of the North Central Missouri College Foundation Holiday Hoops Classic. Since 2005, 266 teams from 3 states have participated in the annual event in Trenton, MIssouri. Highlighted by David and Goliath matchups where small schools challenged quality teams from much larger schools and non-traditional matchups of teams from different conferences. Committee members Brent Wyant and Mitch Dougan join Kris and I for some stories about starting the event, years where it was the largest classic in Missouri and some of the great games and matchups over the 20 year history (one including North Mercer and Penney High School that sold out the arena!) It's not just about everything happening on the court; we talk hospitality rooms, t-shirts and brownies in this mouth watering episode!
