(For instant news updates follow Patch on Facebook and Twitter.) High school football coaches have been busy cramming about prospective opponents over the weekend. They left the field Friday and Saturday afternoon, still not quite sure who they'd be playing this week in the new state football playoff system that now includes the "district system" used in other sports, with seeding thanks to a point differential that made every score count. Saturday evening, that schedule was released. Here's how it all will start shaking out: Thursday Friday You can search the entire playoff bracket by going to the Missouri State High School Activities Association website.

Powered by 28-point third quarter, Cadets blow past Patriots for 47-0 win, and earn themselves a home playoff game, next week against Hazelwood Central.
TOWN AND COUNTRY – The top-ranked football team in both the citywide and statewide top 10 rankings looked every bit the part Friday night, as the No. 1 CBC Cadets blasted visiting Parkway South 47-0, in the final game of the regular season at CBC’s Ross Stadium. “We had some spurts where we did look good,” CBC head coach Scott Pingel said. “We started off a little slow in the first half. We had some fumbled snaps that kind of put us in holes. But there’s always things we could clean up. But at the end of the day we’re pretty happy.” Indeed they should be, as the Cadets (10-0) wrapped up a perfect regular season with the shutout win over the Patriots, and can now add Class 6 District 3 champions to their list of 2011 accomplishments, which …

State representatives and affected residents are the House Apportionment Commission to make redrawn districts competitive.
One speaker put it succinctly: Nothing is more political than redistricting, even though laws strive to keep the politics out of the process. The House Apportionment Commission, which is meeting to redraw boundaries for the Missouri House of Representatives districts, took public comments at the University of Missouri, St. Louis Wednesday. Chairman Joe Maxwell told the audience that two commission members--Trent Skaggs and Marlene Davis--submitted a proposed redistricting map, called Skaggs-Davis No. 1, during an April 28 meeting in Jefferson City. Several state representatives--especially from the city of St. Louis--praised the map as a good starting point for the commission, including Rep. Tishaura Jones, D-District 63 and Rep. Mike …

Parkway South students and staff are mourning the loss of Mark Wade who died Saturday of an apparent heart attack.
UPDATED: 2:50 p.m., Tuesday, May 3 Monday, Parkway South High School students and staff are mourning the loss of Mark Wade who died Saturday of an apparent heart attack.

School officials contend a recent Missouri Supreme Court ruling could send a stream of students from unaccredited districts to their classrooms; bills in the legislature may address the issue.
Local school districts, including Parkway, hope state lawmakers will provide a fix to a recent Missouri Supreme Court ruling that could result in a rapid influx of students from unaccredited districts transferring to neighboring districts. That possibility is the result of the court's July opinion in the Jane Turner v. School District of Clayton case that school districts are mandated to accept any student from an unaccredited district and have no say so in the matter. There are several bills currently proposed in the Missouri General Assembly addressing the topic. In the St. Louis area, both the St. Louis Public Schools (SLPS) and Riverview Gardens School districts are unaccredited. Under current law, students from these districts can …
