Dragons open football season at Plattsburg

The 2015 football season starts Friday for the Cameron Dragons as they travel to Plattsburg to take on the Tigers. Kickoff is 7 p.m.

The other seven Midland Empire Conference teams also start their season Friday night. The schedule has Chillicothe at Marshall, Harrisonville at Benton, Lawson at Maryville, Pembroke Hill at Bishop LeBlond, North Kansas City at Lafayette, Grain Valley at Savannah, and Pleasant Hill at Smithville.
