Singers from all schools in the district performed Tuesday night at Ladue Senior High.
You know spring is always around the corner when the annual all-Ladue Choral Festival is held. This year, the festival moved from the new Performing Arts Center to the Nielson Gymnasium.

Cornell Johnston scores 16 points, drops off nine assists, and grabs four steals to lead Rams to seventh win in a row.
Fresh off a pair of wins over highly-ranked CBC and much-less regarded Wentzville Holt, the Ladue High boys basketball team looked like it was in the mood for a much easier night when it took on Bayless High Wednesday night. The Rams, who have been a stalwart defensive club all season, came out of the locker room and played perhaps their best eight minutes of defense this entire season during in the first quarter, and held the visiting Bronchos to just two points, on their way to a comfortable 57-39 victory at home. Ladue, which has eased its way up to the No. 5 spot in the area Top 20 rankings, has now won seven straight ballgames dating back to the semifinals of the MICDS Holiday Tournament.

This week's 'Athlete of the Week' is a serious state title contender that owns the fastest time of any swimmer in the area in the individual 100-yard breaststroke.
Patch: There's only a little while left for you to decide on where you might want to go to college. What are your thoughts about college as the time to choose grows near? CY: As of right now, I haven't really set my sights on a particular school. I'm still trying to explore my options. I do know that I'd like to go into the medical field though. Patch: Will you try to swim in college (or possibly play another sport)? Or will you be going to college as a regular student? CY: That's a really hard decision... I guess it all depends on where I decide to go to college. As always, academics come first and I want to know I can really focus on my education. That being said, I really love swimming and can't imagine ever not doing it. Patch: How did…
