Matt is a 2004 graduate of Cass Midway High School, he received his bachelor's from Pittsburg State University in 2009, and his master's in administration from William Woods University in 2020. Matt played football and ran track at Pittsburg State and was a member the 2004 National Runner-Up Football team. He is in his 12th year of Education, this being his 10th year at Adrian. He spent his first two years as a teacher and coach at Rich Hill High School. Matt teaches high school Math and PLTW classes at Adrian.

Matt lives outside of Rockville with his wife Shelley and his two children Chaz (10) and Reid (7).

The family enjoys being outside with their animals and any activity that keeps them busy around the farm.

Weather Now

IT'S AT LEAST A PARTLY CLOUDY Monday, but temps today:

61-64 Belton, Harrisonville, Holden, Warrensburg

66 Butler

64 Clinton

68 Nevada

Just a slight breeze out of the SW today. Conditions stay dry the next couple of days, with an expansive high pressure taking over for Wednesday.

High Pressure slides to the Southeast for Thursday when I do see rain chances. But, this morning's data makes me think light scattered showers if anything.

More widespread rains may not find us until Saturday night into Sunday again, and while there is signal for thunderstorm potential (again!), I'm not convinced of what we see in our area just yet.

Have a great Monday!

Regarding numerous medical helicopters around Butler

There have been many reports of several medical helicopters flying into Bates County Memorial Hospital prompting the question of a major accident. 

We have been monitoring scanner traffic and there have been no reports of an accident or other major event. However, there has been several medical calls for service around Butler and most likely this is due to extraneous circumstances.

If anything changes, we will provide updates accordingly.

Of goofs, gaffes and blunders...

 With heads hanging in shame, the Mid America Live crew would like to make a correction regarding our reporting of the recent Amsterdam St. Patrick's Day parade 

We incorrectly stated that G.W. Morris was Grand Marshal, when in fact the Grand Marshal honors go to Laurie Lacy as shown below.

G.W. was herald as a "Chair of Honor" for his longtime commitment to the community. And, it just so happened to be his 97th birthday as well.
