    That's a wrap. Thank you so much to all of you who helped make the past 4 years at The Citizen very special. I took some time to write a small goodbye. See you on the other side

    Cool moment before yesterday’s @PCWRESTLE duals with @g_davis19 serving as honorary captain. The senior 2020 Class 3 state qualifier is out this season while battling cancer. #DavisByPin

    My grandpa passed away today at the age of 90. He was a 1947 Platte City High School grad, @PCHSTrack_Field’s 1st state champion (pole vault, 1947), the school’s 1st state champ in any sport and a Pirate Hall of Famer. He was my hero and I miss him already plattecountypirates.com/hof.aspx?hof=1
