Moniteau’s athletic field gets new name
Luciano Plesakov Stadium
CHERRY TWP — Cpl. Luciano Plesakov graduated from Moniteau Jr./Sr. High School in 1965.
In 1967, while serving in the U.S. Marines during the Vietnam War, he became the only graduate of the district to be killed in action.
His sacrifice for his country was what prompted the school board to approve renaming the football field in his honor at their Monday, June 26, meeting.
The field is now officially named The Luciano Plesakov Stadium, with a dedication to be planned later.
