Although committed to play collegiately at Missouri State University next fall, recent Westminster grad Matheny was picked in the MLB draft by his father Mike Matheny's team, the St. Louis Cardinals.
It was no surprise and a major surprise, all at the same time Wednesday afternoon, as the St. Louis Cardinals selected Westminster Christian Academy graduate Tate Matheny in the 23rd round of this week's Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. Mike Matheny, Tate's father, Cardinals' manager since November.

It was a big week for the Matheny family, as Westminster Christian Academy students Tate and Katie Matheny also make collegiate decisions this week.
Mike Matheny spent a lot of time last spring following his son, Tate, and the Class 3 state champion Westminster Christian Academy baseball team. But Matheny will not be spending as much time at Westminster during Tate's senior season as he just got a new job, as manager of the World Series Champion St. Louis Cardinals. "That balance of power of career and family has always been a tough one for me, and I believe it's tough for everybody in this industry," Matheny said at a press conference Monday. "But the dynamics in my particular family have certainly changed, and a great example is yesterday was a tremendous day for our family.

The Wildcats, coached by former major-league pitcher Andy Benes, were undefeated in the MWAA II Conference last year.
If the first three games of the season were any indication, it is going to be a wild and crazy fall for the Westminster Christian Academy softball team. The 5-1 Wildcats, who won the MWAA II Conference last season en route to a 12-9 season, scored 31 runs in wins over Kirkwood and DuBourg and an extra-inning loss to Rockwood Summit. Westminster won the Kirkwood game despite leaving 16 runners on base and committing eight errors, a combination which almost always leads to a loss. The Wildcats stranded another dozen runners in the loss to Summit in which they were one strike away from victory. Westminster loaded the bases with nobody out in the eighth inning but failed to score. Westminster committed five errors in the first inning and gave …
