EXPECTATIONS HIGH AS GRIFFONS KICK OFF FALL CAMP

MWSU Football Returns 18 Starters from Last Year's NCAA Playoff Team

MWSU running backs go through drills on the first day of training camp

ST. JOSEPH, MO-- First came the Chiefs. Then the Cardinals. Now, the Griffons.

Missouri Western football kicked off its training camp Thursday night under the lights of Spratt Stadium. The Griffons enter the 2012 campaign with more than 100 players on the roster, and 18 returning starters. MWSU went 9-3 in 2011 and is coming off back-to-back NCAA playoff appearances for the first time in school history.

Expectations are at an all-time high in St. Joseph, but Head Coach Jerry Partridge says in order to continue MWSU's string of success, his team will need to stress "having fun".
