Football

The Fort Scott football program began in 1923. The 1970 Fort Scott Greyhounds football team won the junior college national championship. Fort Scott terminated its football program after the 2021 season. The administration cited rules changes concerning out-of-state roster limits and scholarship funding that were enacted in 2016 among the reasons for cutting the program.[2] The Greyhounds finished with an overall record of 448-428-23.
