Missouri Western State University head football coach Jerry Partridge has announced the signing of 24 high school football student-athletes to the 2008 National Letter of Intent.
The Missouri Western Griffons had yet another successful football season in 2007 as they finished with a 9-3 overall record and 6-3 record in the MIAA. Nine wins ties a school record which they have set in four of the past five seasons. They also have played in a post season game in four of the past five years as they defeated the Wayne State Wildcats, 20-13 in the 2007 Mineral Water Bowl held in Excelsior Springs, Mo.
Highlighting those who signed with the Griffons in hopes of continuing the winning tradition are a number St. Joseph natives and a throng of area signees who helped their high school teams succeed in 2007.
Central High School standout’s Michael Hill, Ben Pister and Jeremy Weston will join Mound City, Mo. native Taylor Sharp and Lafeyette player Dan Ritter at Missouri Western next fall. King City High School has one future Griffon, Macon Allan that will join the Griffons in the fall.
