Villa's sensational little leader helped the Saints take fourth place at the MSHSAA Class 3 state championship meet, by finishing 8th and running the fastest time at state of any St. Louis-area runner.
Once again, the vote was close. But a late push in the final hours of the balloting helped send Villa Duchesne freshman cross country star Hannah Deines over the top, and into the spotlight as this week's Patch MVP "Athlete of the Week." And it's such a deserving award for Deines, who shook off an up and down first high school running season, to finish in 8th place at the MSHSAA Class 3 state championship meet. The Saints took fourth as a team, and a huge part of that was because Deines led her squad, by running the fastest time at the state meet of any runner from the St. Louis area. Deines also figures to be one of the top newcomers to watch when the spring running season rolls around. Through the great help of the folks over at Villa, …

Once again the time has come for Patch readers to nominate their favorite Ladue-Frontenac-Olivette area student-athlete for the Patch MVP of the Week award. We've gotten some great suggestions in the past, and we're looking for more, in what could be the final week of the fall sports season. Many of the fall sports have completed their seasons, with the field hockey and cross country state championships last weekend.

Senior Grzeskoviak ranked in the top 10 in nearly every goalkeeping category, and helped lead Saints 18-6 record and an appearance in the state tournament semifinals.
Maggie Grzeskoviak is the standout goalkeeper for the Villa Duchesne field hockey team. This season, Grzeskoviak helped lead Villa to an 18-6 record, and a trip to the state tournament semifinals. And this past week, in one of our closest votes ever, the Villa senior was the leading vote-getter in our weekly Athlete of the Week poll. So it is our pleasure to announce Maggie Grzeskoviak as this week's Ladue-Frontenac Patch MVP of the Week. With the great help of her coaches and administrators at Villa, we were able to catch up with Maggie, and here's some of the cool stuff we were able to find out about her: Have you thought about where you're going to college yet? If you've already decided where are you going? And what made you decide on …

St. Joe will play at Burroughs in one of the marquee matchups of the day, while third-seeded Villa, fifth-seeded MICDS, and 10th-seeded Ladue will also be in action.
Day 1 of the Midwest Field Hockey Championship Tournament came and went on Thursday with no big upsets, as each of the top seeds advanced to the second round (with the exception of No. 16 Rockwood Summit, which lost to No. 17 Edwardsville). But remaining chalk is not likely to happen come Saturday, when the 16 best teams in the area will square off for a berth in the tournament quarterfinals. Top-seeded Cor Jesu Academy (19-1) is everyone's pick as the favorite to win the championship this year. The Chargers haven't lost to a St. Louis-area team all season, feature a roster made up mostly of players from last year's runner-up team, and have allowed only eight goals against all season. CJA, which received a first-round bye, will face …
