Senior scoring dynamo Kailey Utley leads the way with a hat trick, in Pirates 5-0 win over Wildcats.
Pattonville goal scoring dynamo Kailey Utley admitted late in Friday's MSHSAA Class 3 District 5 girls soccer championship game, that she sometimes uses an unusual tactic when she makes her move toward the opposing goal. "Sometimes I close my eyes, and the ball just goes in," is what Utley told teammates who were congratulating her after she scored for the third time in the Pirates district title game showdown against rival Hazelwood West, at the Lou Fusz Soccer Complex. The other Pattonville players laughed when Utley said that, and it's a pretty good bet that she was just joking. But if that statement were true, shooting with her eyes closed was effective for Utley, Pattonville's all-time goal scorer, who delivered in a big way once …

Superfast freshman is among the top scoring underclassmen in the area, and ranks just behind scoring champ Kailey Utley in Pirate goals this season.
MARYLAND HEIGHTS -- All her life Ashanti Carey has heard people tell her she should be running track. Never mind that she has take-your-breath-away kind of speed, people knew that her parents Apollo and Amanda Carey were track stars in high school and college, and they just figured Ashanti should go into the family business, so to speak. So one day not long ago, Ashanti Carey did join a club track team, and in her first real race against real competition, she set a new club record for the 100-meter dash. Like we said, the girl is astonishingly fast. But there was one little problem Ashanti had with running track -- she just didn't like it. "Oh my god, I hated it," she said. "I gave it a try, but I almost had a nervous breakdown or …

Seven Pirate seniors, including three-sport stars Kailey Utley and Mikala McGhee, go out in style with 4-0 over visitors from Wentzville.
PARKWAY NORTH HIGH SCHOOL -- Around this time of year, every year, at high schools all over the country, different sports teams like to take time out and honor their graduating seniors for four years of great play and sportsmanship. But one thing about those Senior Night celebrations is clear -- nobody does it better than the folks from Pattonville High School. Even under uncommon circumstances, like Wednesday night, when a rain-out and field construction at their own campus forced the Pirate girls soccer team to host its Senior Night celebration at rival Parkway North High. It didn’t seem to matter one bit, as the seven Pirate seniors -- Kailey Utley, Mariah Null, Mindy Fitterling, Kacie Hulse, Aubrey Boulicault, Kimberly Hulse, and …

"They left blood, sweat and tears on the field," according to their coach.
BEL-NOR -- As they walked off the field at the end of a 3-2 loss to Incarnate Word Academy Tuesday, it was an eerie feeling for the Pattonville girls' soccer squad. Not since 2008 have the Pirates been eliminated from postseason play this early. But the end came with lots of hugs and plenty of tears after the Pirates fell to the area's top ranked team in the Red Knights during the Class 3 sectional at Incarnate Word High School. The Pirates, who finish 2011 with a 16-10 record, placed second in state a year ago after finishing third in 2009. So even though they were heavy underdogs against a Red Devils squad many tout as the best team in Missouri, the Pirates came in with expectations of their own. But their playoff run was, in their eyes…
