The Colts remain undefeated heading into next weekend's matchup with University City.
In a matchup that carried plenty of upset potential for Parkway Central after last week's win over Webster Groves, the Colts continued a season-long theme focused on using the team's multi-faceted rushing attack and a stingy defense to go on the road and shut out Parkway North 23-0 Friday. "We had a very emotional win last week and I just worried about our intensity and our fire and I challenged our kids and I feel like they lived up to the challenge," Central Head Coach Mark Goldenberg said. Check out our Facebook Photo Gallery From The Game After the the teams traded punts for most of the first quarter, a Parkway Central 82 yard drive exclusively on the ground except for a pass play from Zach Lazenby to Jake Bushman ended with a Lazenby …

His brother, Max, took two days off to attend to "personal matters" and then went back to work Saturday--on the mound for the Detroit Tigers against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Max Scherzer pitched 6 innings and took the loss against the Pirates, but as mlive.com reported, the former Colt and Missouri Tiger pitcher has the support of his teammates. According to Schrader Funeral Home, a memorial service for Alex…
