As the 2025-26 football season comes to an end Capital city paved their own path crushing every team in their way to go to the district championship against the Lebanon Yellowjackets.

On November 11th, 2025 Capital City faced off against the Glendale Falcons. Capital City went into this game with an over abundant amount of confidence after sweeping the Hillcrest Hornets in a 49-0 victory. Capital city was very confident they’d catch the win tonight and proceed to the district championship game to play either the Camdenton Lakers or the Lebanon Yellowjackets.

A student conducted a few interviews with a couple of the football players

after the game and asked them how they feel about going to the district champion ship and how confident they are after catching two major wins. Every football player they interviewed had the same thoughts saying “We know we are the best team in our district.” which they then followed up by stating “We know we will win districts this year, nobody is better than us.” The student then asked the players what the key to their success over the season. The football players all agreed that “Their teamwork and grit was the reason they won. They’re a family and play for something bigger than themselves, they play not just for themselves they play for everyone on the team.”

Capital City’s next game will be against the Lebanon Yellowjackets who pummeled the Camdenton Lakers 62-28. They go into the district championship with a record of 7-4, and are very confident they have the chance to win districts. The game will be played at Jacket Stadium in Lebanon Missouri. Both teams go into this final district game with an overwhelming amount of confidence. This is one of the most electric games all year for both teams, this is a game you will not want to miss.

Makai Petty, a Senior at Capital City High School, is involved in the school’s baseball team. In his free time he likes to go and play golf with his fellow CCHS baseball teammates. Though he may play baseball and golf in his free time his true passion is working with nature, Makai plans on working for NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). Makai gets his love of nature from his grandfather who used to take him to different wildlife parks and would teach him about different animals and plant life. Makai is not only interested in wildlife, he is also interested in traveling the world. He is somewhat a well traveled person, going to Mexico six times and to the Dominican 3 times. But Makai can’t stay away from his love of wildlife; he begs his family to take snorkeling trips to go look at coral reefs to look at all the life below the water. Makai doesn’t only enjoy wildlife, he also has a strong passion for music. His family and teammates are always in shock when he knows every single word for word that they may play at family gatherings or at baseball games. Makai’s favorite artist is Kanye West, his favorite song being “Through the wire”. Makai considers himself a remotely accomplished person, from how much he has traveled and experienced. Makai’s advice for other students is, “Make memories, you only live once. You might as well make the most of it.
