Lex Kaplan suspended; Rams have to play without his services.
It was not the way the Ladue Rams had intended to end a great season. John Ceriotti delivered a walk-off RBI single in the home-half of the 9th inning to edge the visiting Rams 2-1 in the district champipmnship game at St. Louis U. High. For SLUH, this registers their 23rd consecutive district title. Earlier this year on April 11, Ladue blanked SLUH, 4-0. The Rams were without the services of senior center fielder Lex Kaplan. He was ejected from Monday's semifinal win over Webster Groves with just one out to go. Serving a one-game suspension, the Rams played without his services. Still, Ladue finished the season with a lofty 18-4 mark. SLUH moves on with a 22-4 record. Here's Nate Latsch, reporter for St.L Today's account of this very …

Amber Jones got the solo goal. Rams face Incarnate Word on the Red Knight's Field Thursday for the district title.
Little did MICDS know, but when Amber Jones scored a first-half goal on a rebound from Caroline Militello, that would be the only score of the 1-nil win over a feisty bunch of Clayton Greyhounds in the semifinals of the Class 2, District tournament at Incarnate Word. It was a torturous hot day (for both teams); the grass was tall and scruffy; the Rams were pre-occupied with final exams and there were too many games in too few days. An illogical reasoning would do. More game photos on the Ladue-Frontenac Facebook page. “We didn’t play our best game. We won,” surmised coach Michael Black. The coach stayed around to scout the opponents for the title game, Thursday, 4 p.m. at IWA. The girls had enough soccer on a 90 degree day, and left. Turns…

Star senior center fielder Lex Kaplan thrown out of the game with one out left in the last inning. Faces a suspension in the title game later today.
The guy with the warmest seat today is Ladue’s Athletic Director Brian Garner. He has cleared his desk and he will be working on one single issue--trying to get the Rams star center fielder Lex Kaplan eligible for today’s district championship game at St. Louis U. High. With one out in the final inning of the game with Webster Groves, Ladue came up with a spectacular out, shortstop Michael Wielanski to third baseman Dylan Barstow on a tag opportunity. Kaplan, who came in, in relief of starter Rob Ewald was hustling over to third to help out. Something he said, got him tossed out by the base umpire. Off the record, Kaplan would swear on a stack of Bibles, that whatever he said, it was not directed to the umpire. All the protesting in the …

2 goals for Kaley Nieters in the second half. Angels face either Webster or Nerinx in the finals Wednesday,
There are differences between St. Joe and Ursuline Academy soccer teams. For one, St. Joe does not have to play its freshman goal keeper; Ursuline does. Ursuline freshman keeper Jaime Spath was tested early and often and the Angels peppered the Bear nets for a relatively easy 6-2 district semifinal win. The Angels have a fine freshman themselves in Rosie Breheny, but they start with sophomore Kelsey Ponder who has more experience. The win sets up the Angels (15-2) against Webster Groves, 1-0 winner over Nerinx Hall. The Angels-Webster game will be played on the Angels' home turf Wednesday at 4 o’clock. Hot or cold, sunny or not, the Angels keep on rolling. Six different attackers scored in the home win. Kaley Nieters notched a key second-…

Villa's distance freshman Hannah Deinas is a star for the future.
“A winner never quits, and a quitter never wins” So true, so true. Ezekiel Elliott, the most prominent athlete to emerge from John Burroughs since the school’s inception in the 1920s was a winner on the MICDS district track Saturday. Consider the fact, between 11 am and 5 p.m., he ran 7 races, counting the preliminaries of the sprints and hurdles. He won six of those races--one got slightly away. More race photos on the Ladue-Frontenac Facebook Page The fact that he lost the 100 meter dash to fellow football back Denzell Conway (MICDS) stuck more in his craw than winning the other six. (See related story about Denzell Conway.) “I was surprised he beat me. I got lost in the moment a little bit winning that 110 high hurdles. He dipped under …

It was a crowning moment of redemption for this sprinter, headed to college in Indiana.
Ah, sweet redemption. Senior speed back Denzell Conway of the MICDS football team got his moment in the sun Saturday, finally. Conway brought down the champ, Ezekiel Elliott of John Burroughs in the district finals of the 100 meter dash on the MICDS track. It was a moment to savor. Conway crossed first at 10.90; Elliott was second at 10.95. Conway pumped his fist into the air at the finish line much to the delight of the partisan MICDS fans, his teammates and coaches too. They were all overjoyed to see this moment come and go. Elliott, toiling through seven races was the champ of the 110 high hurdles (13.77); the 300 intermediate hurdles(38.94) and the 200 meter dash (22.56). Conway said “I’ve been waiting a long, long time for this to …
