CBC Shuts Out De Smet In District Soccer Semifinal
Cadets avenge loss in 2011 District Final to knock off the defending state champion Spartans.
In a matchup of two well-known traditional St. Louis soccer powers that felt a little strange to see any earlier than in a district final, CBC bested De Smet 2-0 in a first round/semifinal match Tuesday at W. Michael Ross Stadium in Town and Country. Check out Patch photos from the match on Facebook It was physical on the pitch early and often as the two Metro Catholic Conference rivals went at it with the most on the line since De Smet's (12-9-4) win in the district championship in 2011 propelled the Spartans to a state title. But Tuesday, CBC (19-5-1) Sophomore Devon Boyce and Senior Forward LJ Adewumni found themselves in the thick of the Cadets' chances, and they capitalized. Boyce found the back of the net with just under 10 minutes …

"He Lived The Life of 5 People": Celebrating The Life of Jim Goessling
De Smet's gym played host to a gathering to honor his memory Saturday.
On a cool crisp Saturday morning, hundreds came to De Smet to remember the life of Jim Goessling. Goessling, a member of the school's Hall of Fame who was part of the Spartans' first state basketball championship team, was also a key De Smet diplomat as an alumus, serving as a Trustee and later on the Board of Regents. He died last Sunday following a two year battle with colon and rectal cancer. He was 57 years old. His family and friends gathered in the De Smet gym to celebrate the life of a man who could hobnob with famous folks as part of his role as a sales executive in the sports and media world, but wanted to know how you were doing, regardless of your role in the world. Video: Jim Kennedy and Rich Grawer talk about the impact …

Missouri High School Football Playoffs: Pattonville vs. De Smet
Barring an incredible upset, the De Smet High School football team should dispose of Pattonville High School and advance to the next round of the Missouri State High School football playoffs.
The Pattonville High School football team didn't get its first win of the 2012 season until its eighth game. Barring an incredible upset, it likely won't get a second. Pattonville is set to open it's playoff campaign on the road against the heavily favored De Smet Spartans. De Smet enters the game with perhaps the best running back combos (Taylor O'Brien and Marcus Jester) in the state and one of the best defensive players (Donnie White) in the entire state. The O'Brien-Jester duo rushed for nearly 2,000 yards this season and accounted for more than half of the Spartans' scoring. Meanwhile, Donnie White, the 6-foot-2, 220 pound defensive end has wreaked havoc on offensive backfields all season, producing 11 sacks, 13 tackles-for-a-loss and…

De Smet, Parkway North and Priory among those teams impacted by rain, hail and thunderstorms Friday night.
"You can't fool Mother Nature," one high school football official said Friday evening. "Mother Nature's in control."

Durron Neal Knows His Time At Oklahoma is Now
The De Smet senior hasn't graduated yet, but news out of Sooner nation this week has expectations and pressure building now.
Were it not for Missouri's departure from the Big 12, Tiger football fans would likely be paying more attention than they are to news which broke out of the University of Oklahoma football program Wednesday night. According to ESPN and multiple other outlets, the Sooners have suspended four players indefinitely, including three wide receivers. The discipline means the team's incoming recruits, including De Smet standout Durron Neal, who were likely to be counted on to contribute as freshmen regardless, now find themselves under a larger spotlight.

De Smet Grad Wes Kemp Getting NFL Shot
The wide receiver from Mizzou went undrafted this past weekend but signed a free agent contract with the Carolina Panthers.
It is unquestionably the dream of many football players growing up to hear their name called during the NFL Draft. But plenty of athletes who went on to win championships and also make a healthy living never had that pleasure. At a certain point, it may be in a player's best interest NOT to get drafted. Instead of feeling like an extra body in training camp, a player can pursue a team that still has some needs left to fill. That's one way De Smet Jesuit High School graduate and now University of Missouri graduate Wes Kemp may look at it. The receiver went undrafted as the final rounds ticked off Saturday, but found himself with a deal to try and hook on with the Carolina Panthers soon after the final pick. Kemp talked about the decision …
