The Colts' class of 2012 earned more than $8 million in college scholarships.

Surprisingly, there weren't a whole lot of tears shed throughout the evening, but there were certainly lots of smiles, hugs, and cool high-fives, as Parkway Central's 312 graduating seniors said goodbye, received their diplomas, and expressed their love to a school and community that clearly loved them back. "It's great, kinda of a weird feeling, but really unbelievable," said senior and varsity basketball star Zach Biggs, who was also one of 86 Central High students …

Idea borne out of a coach shopping for new equipment, has grown into one of the area's best high school soccer events of the year.
One day while at a coaching convention in New York three and a half years ago, Pattonville girls soccer coach Tom Iffrig and assistant coach Scott Johnson were walking past a manufacturer's display for its new pink soccer balls and had a wonderful, simultaneous idea. "We both looked at them, and then at the same time, we turned to each other and said, 'we should do a cancer awareness game'," Iffrig said, on Thursday, after Pattonville played in the Third Annual Kicks For Cancer event at Parkway Central High. "We talked to some people about it, and kind of put it together quickly. And now three years later, it's grown into all this." All this, is an event that while still in its infancy, has grown into an occasion that has raised thousands …
