Joplin Crusaders
The Joplin Crusaders are one of the oldest teams in semi-pro football! The team has been around for 20 plus years and competed in a plethora of leagues like the CFL, PAFA and GDFL!
The Crusaders are looking to improve upon its 2020 campaign that saw them finish third in the regular season with a 4-2 record.
Joplin had moments of brilliance last year but collapsed at the end of the season losing its last two regular-season games by multiple scores and then getting eliminated in an upset in the first round of the playoffs by the first year Tahlequah Vipers.
