THE ZEKE SHOW: 6 TDs as Burroughs Obliterates MICDS, 55-7

2 called back. Ohio State-bound speedster makes it all look easy.

Saturdays football showdown, John Burroughs at MICDS never had a chance. Ezekiel Elliott, the area’s leading scorer (23) TDs scored six times, one including a 65 yard punt return and the Bombers demolished their rivals the Rams, 55-7 Saturday on the MICDS home field. To make matter worse, two more Elliott TDs were called back because of penalties. There's room for improvement Burroughs Coach Gus Frerotte knows there’s still things to keep clean up in a 5-0 season. “Zeke was offsides the first time he scored, he knows better than that.” “ Elliott should be playing for Ohio State now, not the Bombers. He rushed 12 times for 222 yards. He makes those scores look easy, prancing into the end zone while tantalizing and teasing slower defenders. …

You hate to speculate on a 17 year old. But, from what I've seen in football and track, none better. Zeke is a streak.   more ›

Bon Fire, Road Race Sets the Stage for Burroughs Football at MICDS Later Today

Community run winds through the streets of Ladue from Burroughs to MICDS this morning.

FOURTH UPDATE: Saturday, 10:00 a.m. Hundreds of runners were off at 8 a.m. John Burroughs to MICDS. Burroughs' Margaret Bahe just added several great photos of the start of the race. Dave Nowak of MICDS completed the race coverage with photos of the winners. MICDS faculty member Paul Reineke was first to cross the finish line of the 2.5 miles race, followed closely by Dan Moisio, MICDS class of 2003. Some 237 runners took advantage of perfect fall weather to run down Price Road, up Ladue Road and then finish on Warson Road at the entrance of MICDS. The Birchfield Family (Blake and Kathy Birchfield of Ladue and their five children) won the "most spirited" award - seven family members participated and all crossed the finish line. They …

Burroughs and MICDS Clash For Football Bragging Rights Saturday

Burroughs is 4-0 coming into the game; MICDS is struggling at 1-3.

Want to wave a red flag in front of the Burroughs Bombers. Just print it with last year’s football score against MICDS: “45-20.” The Bombers need no further motivation. But last year’s MICDS star power has pretty much scattered. Michael Scherer is at Mizzou; Thomas Miltello at Dartmouth and Jack Howell at Brown. On the flip side, Burroughs is giddy over the prospects of Ezekiel Elliott shredding the Rams defense Saturday, kickoff 2 p.m. on the Rams home turf. Coach Gus Frerotte knows better. He has his Bombers looking at this game with the greatest of caution. He knows so much is riding on this bitter rivalry. Burroughs is 4-0; having steam rolled Cape Girardeau Central, Lutheran South, Priory and Lutheran North. MICDS has struggled out …

Saturday, Burroughs and MICDS Sports Teams All Take Center Stage

Tennis, soccer, volleyball, field hockey, football games will be played on both campuses.

The athletic complex at Mary Institute Country Day School will be a beehive of activity come Saturday. One Saturday, each year, the focal point of the Ladue universe focuses on the competition between the Bombers of John Burroughs and the Rams of MICDS. Two gentlemen who will have special interest are retired football coaches Ron Holtman from MICDS and Jim Lemen from Burroughs. Read their story here from last year. Parking will be at a premium on the North Warson Road campus. Tailgate revelers will arrive early. Construction on the new MICDS Math-Science Center has reduced parking spaces on the north lot somewhat. If there is no rain, cars will be able to park near the stadium on adjacent athletic fields. The competition begins early with …

While Ladue was getting clobbered by McCluer 42-6 at home, the Rams of MICDS lost at Priory 42-21. Ladue heads into homecoming with a 2-2 record against Normandy while (1-3) MICDS has the unenviable task of tangling with 4-0 John Burroughs at home Saturday.

(continued) Mr. Baer in no way deserves the over-the-top criticisms I posted regarding his work and for that, I am sorry. Similarly, I want to apologize to the Burroughs community for not representing the school in a manner that reflects the tremendous education I received during my time there. Finally, I feel it is important for readers to know that it is possible for multiple users to comment …   more ›

MVP Week 3: Alim Muhammad, Wide Receiver From MICDS

This junior is starting to draw attention from a number of major programs.

Alim Muhammad is a 150 pound speedster from MICDS. He rushed for 2 TDs as the Rams beat Lutheran South last week for the first win of the season. For the season, he has 10 catches for 214 yards, an average of 21.4 yards per catch. For his efforts, he was selected the Ladue-Frontenac-Olivette Patch Athlete of the Week. Here’s what he has to say: Patch: Are you involved in the recruiting process as a junior. Muhammad: I am starting to get looks from major schools like Iowa, Indiana, Ohio State, Mizzou, Arkansas, Stanford and UCLA. Patch: How is your season going. Muhammad: The Team got off to a 0-2 start but we are 1-2 with Priory next. The team as a whole is growing every day and hopefully we get a run going. Patch: What do you like best …

Priory Should Give Burroughs a Tougher Test on Friday

MICDS hosts Lutheran South while Ladue Goes to McCluer South-Berkeley.

Secretly, John Burroughs football team would probably like a tougher test than they’ve had so far this season. They have steam rolled Cape Girardeau Central 43-14 and whitewashed Lutheran South, 35-0 in a game shortened by the storm last Friday. (2-0) Burroughs vs Priory (1-1), home Friday, 4:30 p.m. Running back Ezekiel Elliott (8 touchdowns in two games) needs a true test. Priory could offer just that. The Rebels got wacked by Alton Marquette 55-31 but beat up on Lutheran North 51-7. The Rebels have some seasoned veterans. Like Thomas Rybuck, a hard-charging runner who has 5 TDs in two games. Quarterback David Nogalski is 21 of 29 passing for 294 yards. Priory return specialist John Agnew has 156 yards of real estate so far. Burroughs …

Why hasn't there been a Saturday afternoon game for the Bombers yet? I get the rain-shortened game against South last Friday but this appears to have been scheduled on Friday in advance, which is interesting given the lack of lights. Religious observations? Just curious.   more ›

Maplewood Opens With an Impressive 35-19 Win over MICDS

Kahlid Hagens put on a dazzling display of offensive weaponry.

Maplewood’s senior quarterback Kahlid Hagens is one smooth operator. He is best when he is improvising the play. He can change directions on a dime, and leave defenders grasping for air. Besides that, he obviously believes in the motto “take what they give ‘em.” On the perimeter, defenders never know if he’s going to pitch, pass or run. Once he got done bamboozling a youthful and and experienced MICDS defense, he had shredded the Rams for an impressive 35-19 win on the road before an enthusiastic and packed house. Hagins ran for a 10 yard TD to open the game, then passes for TDs of 34 yards to Elijah Keely and a 56-yarder to Cortlen Brooks and a ran one in from the 6 and Keely rounded out the scoring on a 28 yard scamper. The Blue Devils …

Call It Official: MICDS' Jack Kurzu Will Become an Oklahoma State Cowboy

Giant junior tackle decides early after reviewing more than 20 schools.

Bob Kurzu played tackle for the University of Florida team in the Charlie Pell era of the 1980s. But that wasn’t enough to convince his son Jack, 6-foot-4, 305 pound tackle from MICDS to head to the swamp. After looking over some 20 college choices, Jack Kurzu donned the orange baseball cap of the Oklahoma State Cowboys, much to the delight of his friends and teammates. Kurzu made it official on Wednesday before a gathering of teammates from the Rams football program. Kurzu is considering plans to enrolling at Stillwater for spring football and those issues remain to be settled. The offers were wide ranging. His shopping list included Harvard, Yale, Hawaii, Troy, Indiana, Mizzou, Illinois, Miami of Florida, Ball State and many others. “I …

Witzen, Jack is a Senior, not junior. In fact, he may be eligible to graduate early. This kid is special. He has more pancakes than IHOP. I can't wait for Saturday. I don't think you have to worry about his academic credentials. My daughter is a classmate. We visited a number of very selective colleges this summer. All of them told her they would be adjusting her GPA upwards because of the rigor …   more ›
