De Smet Jesuit Downs CBC To Claim District Title

Nolan Berry leads Spartans into state sectional play.

The Hot Read: In a game that at times resembled rugged action you might see on the football field between the two Metro Catholic Conference rivals, De Smet Jesuit used a physical grind to defeat CBC 64-57 Friday at Parkway Central to claim the Class 5 District 4 Championship. Senior Nolan Berry led the Spartans with 21 points in his team's second win against CBC in as many Fridays. Whereas the Spartans used hot shooting early on last week to key the win, this week's episode was more closely contested.  Junior guard Patrick McCaw had 15 first half points en route to a 29 point effort to lead all scorers. Jordan Barnett, another cog in CBC's junior trio that also includes Ray Doby, was unable to get it going offensively but finished with a …

CBC Regroups Against Parkway Central, Advances To District Hoops Final

Junior Jordan Barnett was the game-high scorer with 25 points.

The Hot Read: In the team's first game back on the court since CBC was humbled by De Smet Jesuit at home on Friday, the Cadets shook off some early play that suggested a repeat performance could be in store, dispatching an upset-minded Parkway Central squad 70-50 in a boys district semifinal Tuesday night. Jordan Barnett scored 25 to lead the way for CBC (20-7). Pat McCaw added 15 and Zach Fischer had 14 for the Cadets. Parkway Central (15-14) was led by Nathan Biggs' 17 in defeat. The Cadets boast a junior class that is the envy of college recruiters around the country, but early on, CBC turnovers, combined with Parkway Central's ability to use back door cuts and the rim for protection on layups against CBC's interior strength kept the …

Academy Soccer Stars Still Honored by Schools They Didn't Play For as Seniors

Two Town and Country seniors were among those who left prep programs for Academy soccer—but still got the benefit of recognition from their high school on signing day.

To celebrate or not celebrate, that was the question.   As many high schools seniors around the area made their college choices official by signing and submitting their national letters of intent last week, followed by ceremonies to recognize the athletes for their accomplishment, schools faced something of a conundrum: Do you celebrate athletes who in part may have earned their college scholarships based on what they did away from the high school playing fields? With USA Soccer's decision to force elite prep soccer players to choose between their high schools and their academy programs in effect for the first time this season, traditional St. Louis soccer programs like De Smet Jesuit, CBC and Priory each faced that decision.
