Ladue Beats Clayton In PKs For Second Time, Claims Class 4 District 5 Soccer Championship

Junior goalkeeper Eric Stuber makes two dynamite saves in penalty kick round to lift Rams to victory over the archrival Greyhounds.

Back on October 12, the Ladue High and Clayton High boys soccer teams played one of their typical thrilling Suburban East Conference matchups that had to be settled in overtime penalty kicks. So it was a surprise to no one on Thursday, when the Rams and Greyhounds battled for the MSHSAA Class 2 District 5 championship at MICDS High School's Hawes Field, that it would once again be decided in PKs. "It's always like this when we play," Ladue head coach Matt Prange said. "It's a great rivalry. The kids always get into it, and it was great out here again tonight." Once it concluded, things were great for Prange and crew -- not so much for Clayton coach Tom Redmond and his Greyhounds -- as Ladue scored on all three of its penalty kicks and held…

Ladue Wins 28-21 Over Clayton; Making the Hounds Account for Their Sins

Series of penalties ranging from clipping to holding to going off sides hurt Clayton's chances.

Ladue’s football coach Mike Tarpey got a double dose of good news Friday night. For one, his gritty Rams outlasted Clayton in a slugfest, winning 28-21 on Centenne Field on Gay Avenue. More importantly, he got a good medical report on injured Jaron Jones from the hospital before he left the field. Injury silenced a large crowd Midway through the game, Jones came dead aim across the field to tackle a loose Greyhound runner. The G-force of the collision reverberated across the Clayton sideline. Jones sat up momentarily, then lapsed unconscious. Clayton EMS arrived very quickly and took the motionless senior to an area hospital. The news from the hospital was all good. He probably woke up with a very sore neck on Sunday. The Rams had to …

Ladue Tramples Clayton in District Playoffs, 46-21

Star running back Deavin Edwards may be lost for the season.

No one has to remind Ladue’s coach Mike Tarpey that injuries are part of the game. With less than 30 seconds remaining until half time of the district game at Clayton, two-way star Deavin Edwards severely sprained his ankle making a tackle on a Greyhound runner. The loss could be devastating to the Rams’ chances this year. Edwards scored once in the 46-21 victory over Clayton and had 59 yards rushing on nine carries before hobbling off the field. He has 26 TDs and nearly 2,000 yards gained on the ground this season. Doctors might sideline him the rest of the way. “We have to have players step up and make big plays and take Deavin’s part,” said Tarpey. Like Michael Horton-Loftin who blasted his way into the end zone on a 9 yard yard run to …

Wildcats Claw Greyhounds, 9-0, in Clayton

The Clayton baseball team drops to 9-14 with the loss.

Westminster Christian Academy Wildcats pitcher Ben Lovell could do little wrong in a non-conference contest against the Clayton Greyhounds baseball team on Thursday at Clayton.  The Wildcats defeated Clayton, 9-0. Lovell, a sophomore, struck out 12 batters, gave up one hit and walked just one in seven innings of action. The shutout marks his second of the season. “I had a great game,” Lovell said. “But (catcher) Ryan Allee called a great game for me, and our defense had no errors.” Lovell said he often attacked each batter first with a fastball, then switched to a curve or change-up. Wildcat coach Rich Van Gilst said Lovell “keeps improving with every game.” “He has presence,” Van Gilst said. “I’m not sure if he feels like he has total …
