Rock Bridge looks to three-peat in the CMAC in 2025, while teams like Helias Catholic - who took second in state in Class 5 in 2024 - will look to unseat the Bruins. / Chris Kwiecinski/Tribune / USA TODAY NETWORK

With high school football jamborees kicking off around Missouri on Aug. 22 and the regular season set to begin Aug. 29, the stage is set once again for another intriguing year in the Central Missouri Activities Conference (CMAC).

Rock Bridge enters the 2025 season as the two-time defending CMAC champion after a dominant run through league play last fall. But while the Bruins rolled to the title, their season ended earlier than expected in the Class 5 playoffs with a first-round loss to Fort Zumwalt West.

Helias Catholic, on the other hand, put together one of the state’s most impressive postseason runs. The Crusaders ripped through the Class 5 bracket before falling to Platte County 49-14 in the championship game at Faurot Field in Columbia.

Capital City and Camdenton also made playoff pushes. The Cavaliers beat Smith-Cotton 49-20 in the opening round before losing to Lebanon in the second, while Camdenton advanced to the second round before falling to Glendale 45-17. Hickman, the lone Class 6 program in the CMAC, fell just short in a 42-35 loss to Howell Central in the first round.

Battle, Jefferson City, and Smith-Cotton are hoping to bounce back after tough playoff exits. Battle was eliminated by Fort Zumwalt West 40-19, while Lebanon rolled past Jefferson City 49-7. Smith-Cotton's postseason was brief as well, as the Tigers fell to Capital City in the opening round.

There’s no shortage of intriguing matchups on the 2025 schedule. Helias and Rock Bridge meet Sept. 26 in Columbia in a game that could again decide the league title. Capital City will host Rock Bridge and travel to Helias, while Camdenton looks to make waves in its second year in the CMAC. From rivalries to playoff previews, the conference slate is loaded with storylines once again.
