El Dorado Springs hires new head football coach

On behalf of the El Dorado Springs R-2 Board of Education, it is an honor to announce the hiring of our next High School Football Coach, Eddie Long. Coach Long is a native of El Dorado Springs and returns home after coaching at Lamar for the past four years.

 
Prior to his time at Lamar, Coach Long spent 3 years as part of the El Dorado Springs staff and a year before that at Rich Hill. He also has experience working at Benedictine College, aiding with their strength and conditioning program and their junior varsity defense.

Coach Long is a 2003 graduate of El Dorado Springs and obtained his Sports Management degree from Benedictine College where he was a four-year letter-winner, an All-Conference player, and a Victory Sports Network Honorable Mention All-American. He also received numerous team awards while attending and playing at Benedictine.

As a coach, his most recent experience is being an assistant for the defense at Lamar High School, where he played a pivotal role in helping aid the team to two state championships in the past three years.

Eddie is married to Ashley (Bell) Long for the last 11 years and they have three children, Easton (10), Annabelle (7), and Elise (2). When not coaching, you can find Eddie being a sports dad watching his kids play sports as well as spending time with family.

Coach Long is excited to continue to build on the foundation that has been established as well as instill many of the cultural aspects he has learned over the past two decades in playing and coaching football.

We congratulate Coach Long and welcome him back to the Bulldog family!

Marjorie "Marge" Lenora Roseblock, 93, of Harrisonville, Missouri, died on Tuesday, June 11, 2024 at Crown Care Center in Harrisonville, MO. Graveside services will be held on Tuesday, June 25, 2025 at 10:00 AM at Oakland Cemetery in Harrisonville, MO. Memorial contributions are suggested to the Harrisonville Animal Shelter.

Marge was born January 29, 1931, in Port Angeles, Washington, the daughter of William Robert "Tex" and Julia France (Radford) Allen.

Marge and Bob lived in Kansas City, MO, the Lake of the Ozarks, and finally in Harrisonville, where they moved in 2002. They traveled their whole lives together and enjoyed life at the lake. Marge was always the life of the party, with an infectious laugh, and a zest for life. She made new friends wherever she went.

Majorie is preceded in death by her husband, Robert; her parents; and her only sibling, Maxine Flanner. She is survived by nieces and nephews that she always called her own and her great-nieces and great-nephews and their children.
