Fort Osage High School football

Fort Osage plays high school football in Missouri.

Coming soon

Missouri is coming to Hometown Line

You’re in the right place, and the whole site is open to you. We only show scores a state’s association lets us read and credit, and Missouri’s aren’t readable yet. Here’s how Fort Osage gets on, and how to play in the meantime.

Play this Friday anyway

Every game on the board is open to you, in any state. Call the week’s biggest games, or follow a state next door.

Getting Fort Osage on the site

Missouri isn’t published yet. The MSHSAA's site asks every automated reader to stay out, so we have not read it.

In the meantime, a coach, athletic director or team manager can put a school’s season on the site through the Team Desk, and the letter below still asks them to publish.

Ask them

Write to Missouri State High School Activities Association or your school's athletic director. Address it to the association’s office or your athletic director — the contact page on their site has it.

Your school (optional)

Subject: Schedules and scores for Missouri high-school football

Dear Missouri State High School Activities Association,

I am a fan of Fort Osage. I follow the season on Hometown Line (hometownline.com), a free game of skill and prediction for high-school football. There is no money in it: readers predict results and are scored on how well they read the games.

Missouri is not on the site yet because the schedules and scores are published in a way that does not allow another site to read them. I am writing to ask that Missouri State High School Activities Association allow Hometown Line to read the schedules and scores it already publishes, or publish them as a feed. The site reads only what it is allowed to, identifies itself, and credits Missouri State High School Activities Association on every game.

Thank you for considering it.

Yours sincerely,
A supporter of Fort Osage

The programme

Rival: William Chrisman High School; Named in Fort Osage's own article.
Notable alumni: 5 in all, 3 of them in football; Counted from the school’s own article, which lists people notable enough to have been written up. A programme with none has not produced none.

Everything above comes from Fort Osage’s own article — except the few lines that name a different one — and is real. Hometown Line also runs a scoring model over Missouri high school football. Every prediction it makes is the model’s own. Where Missouri publishes a schedule the site may read, the games ahead are that schedule; where it does not, the fixtures ahead are generated so the model has something to predict. A result is shown only where its source is named.
