Chaminade Student-Athletes Celebrate College Signings

Ten athletes from the Creve Coeur school's senior class will play sports at the college level.

The next window to officially submit national letters of intent to play college sports  is technically a few weeks away, but the Chaminade community gathered Tuesday to celebrate student-athletes in this year's senior class. A group of ten baseball, basketball, football and soccer players will compete at the next level. Among them were Jack Hummel and Andy Kleinlein, who were keys to the Red Devils' conference basketball and district championship, and a quartet of soccer players in Matt Kilwin, Jason Pesek, Curtis Shillingsford and David Stoll, who pushed the school to the state title match. The complete list is below. You can view more photos from the event in our Facebook Photo Gallery. You can also add your own photos to our story by …

District Finals: De Smet Jesuit, Chaminade, Look For Titles Friday

Patch will share FOX Sports Midwest's live streaming coverage of De Smet Jesuit-CBC and Chaminade-Ladue.

At least one Creve Coeur-area team will still be alive in pursuit of a state boys basketball title after Friday's district finals. There could very well be two. In a pair of 7 p.m. starts, Ladue will host Chaminade for the Class 5 District 2 title, while De Smet Jesuit will meet CBC at Parkway Central for all the marbles in District 4. Ladue (21-5) will put one of the best point guards in Cornell Johnston, along with frontcourt stalwarts Andrew Maddock and Austin DaGue up against a Chaminade (17-8) club headlined by Jayson Tatum, the co-player of the year in the Metro Catholic Conference and fellow first team All MCC Andy Kleinlein in the backcourt.

Chaminade Basketball Preview: Red Devils Reload With Tatum & Company

A freshman class trio, led by Jayson Tatum, arrives to help reinvigorate the 2012-2013 squad.

When Kelvin Lee looked to his bench last season, he didn't have a lot to work with in the 2011-2012 campaign. Coming off a season where a Bradley Beal-led squad reached the state quarterfinals, the Red Devils slumped to 9-17 last season. Lee doesn't expect to have last season's trouble with depth or the team's won-loss record as play tipped off Monday. Chaminade opened on the road against Pattonville and defeated the Pirates 56-37, led by 16 points from power forward Jayson Tatum. Lee's Red Devils have reloaded in a big way, led by the Freshman Tatum, who scored an invitation to try out for one of Team USA's junior squads after an impressive summer hoops camp showing.

Record-Setting Night For Chaminade Shooting Not Enough To Win At De Smet

Spartans make it two in a row to start new calendar year, behind point guard Jimmy Barton’s game-high 20 points and 10 assists.

On a night when it seemed no one from either team could miss from long-range, the De Smet basketball team did just enough from inside the three-point arc Tuesday night, to overcome a record shooting night by visiting crosstown rival Chaminade to pull out a 64-54 win in a critical Metro Catholic Conference game. “They were struggling to get points in the paint,” De Smet head coach Kevin Poelker said. “But credit to them, they devised a way to get themselves some open looks from outside, and they didn’t miss them.” No they did not. The Red Devils hit a school-record 15 three-pointers (on 31 attempts) on Tuesday, to stay in a game that seemed destined to be a De Smet blowout from the outset. In fact, it was Spartan junior point guard Jimmy …
