Granite City High School accepts South 7 Conference football scheduling invitation for 2023–2026
Summary
Administration presented a four-year invitation for Granite City High School to schedule South 7 Conference football games from 2023–2026; the board approved accepting the invitation and discussed which schools would be occasional opponents.
The Granite City CUSD 9 Board approved accepting a four‑year football scheduling invitation from the South 7 Conference covering the 2023 through 2026 seasons.
Administration (speaker S5) said athletic director John Moe received the invitation, which would schedule Granite City High School to play South 7 Conference opponents during weeks 2 through 8 of the season; at the end of the 2024 season conference members may consider inviting Granite City and an additional school to full membership beginning in 2025. Administration listed potential opponents including Cahokia, Carbondale, Centralia and Mount Vernon, among others, and noted travel would vary year to year.
Board members asked clarifying questions about which schools would be involved and how often distant matchups would recur. Administration emphasized that not every listed opponent would be played every year and that the distance to some schools would not be an annual issue. The board voted to accept the scheduling invitation as presented.
