early 130 administrators, alumni, faculty and dreamers gathered in SLUH’s Si Commons last Friday to celebrate with food, drink, and presentations. No, they weren’t tailgating the SLUHChaminade basketball game; they were marking the end of a year-and-a-half-long vi-

sioning process, Imagining 18, that will give the school a strategic vision as it approaches its 200th birthday.

“It’s certainly a feeling of warm affirmation about St. Louis U. High being with people who care so much about the school that they are present not only that evening, but for thinking about the school,” said President David Laughlin, who spoke Friday

night.

To help celebrate the closing convocation, two speakers shared words of congratulation and inspiration, founded in their own experiences in Catholic education.

The first was Reverend Tim Scully, CSC, a Notre Dame professor and founder of the Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE). Scully’s talk focused on the impor-

tance of Catholic education, calling Catholic schools “sacred places serving civil purposes” and speaking to the social contribution of Catholic schools to cities like St. Louis.

“It turns out that Catholic school products are much more civically engaged,” said Scully in an interview later that evening. “They tend to

magine SLUH, 5 years from now: students discourse in Arabic, tend daily to plants in the greenhouse, and study in a two-floor World Learning Center equipped with stateof-the-art technology. That reality may not be far off, according to ideas President David Laughlin presented at the closing convocation for Imagining 18, the nearly 2-year strategic planning process. Those ideas are just a few on a long list of strategic visions for SLUH in the coming years.

Although the school hopes to realize as many of their goals as possible, it will not be easy—or cheap.

Laughlin said the school would need to raise $70 million to make their dreams a reality.

Highlights of those dreams included new faculty positions, extensive global student exchange programs, and facilities work that could include a renovated chapel, spacious collaborative learning classrooms, and a new world learning center.

The facilities concepts took up the longest part of Laughlin’s 50-minute speech and included several extensive concepts that would rearrange several campus facilities and, in some cases, construct new ones. The expansion will potentially create increased capacity for collaboration, counseling, and global education work.

The concepts, which Laughlin guided guests of the convocation through, would renovate the old cafeteria to be the new counseling center, along with some administrative offices. Campus ministry would be relocated next to a newly-renovated chapel which would incorporate more natural light. Science classrooms would be improved with greater lab space.

The current library would hold the visual arts department, with gallery space to house student and faculty

work as well as pieces from SLUH’s art collection. The second floor J-wing, which houses the current art classrooms, would serve as collaborative learning classroom space. Student media, such as the Prep News, Dauphin yearbook, and photography, would move to a new media center in the basement. The southern central area, formerly the SLUH auditorium, which currently holds the counseling offices, campus ministry, administrative offices, department offices, and classroom space, would be replaced with a new World Learning Center, a two-floor information service, global education, and collaborative learning space.

Aside from facilities, Laughlin presented ideas in the areas of collaboration, counseling, faith formation, and SLUH’s endowment.

Some of those ideas would require the school to create new faculty positions to oversee development. One potential new faculty position is the Director of Strategic Curriculum, whose duties would include evaluating SLUH’s current calendar and schedule and looking for ways to increase collaboration. The director would also potentially oversee the implementation of a number of potential strategic initiatives: development of current and new exchange programs, both foreign-language and English-based; development of the Nanjing Foreign Exchange program; involvement in an upcoming online community called Educate Magis, which will connect 2,000 Jesuit schools worldwide; addition of Arabic to the foreign language curriculum, and increased opportunities for student collaboration with parents and alumni, such as summer internships and visits to campus.

Another new position is the Director of College Counseling, which the school has already started to solicit applications for. This director,

he St. Louis U. High Mock Trial team had mixed results at its second preliminary trial of the season Tuesday.

The blue team (prosecution) suffered its second loss of the season but the white team (defense) secured a victory.

The blue team fell against Villa Duchesne, a team that has challenged SLUH in the past. The specific results and comments on the match have not been released yet.

“Villa came lights out like they always do,” said Mock Trial moderator Anne-Marie Lodholz.

“Our upperclassmen did pretty well, but Villa’s team destroyed us,” said junior Da-

vid Stolz.

The white team, on the other hand, faced Thomas Jefferson High School and came away with a win.

The club needs four ballots, out of six possible, to secure a position in the next round, regionals. Since the blue team lost, the white team will need to sweep three out of three ballots.

The teams battled an irregular start to the season due to Lodholz’s absence for the first quarter as well as a laterthan-usual case release.

“Usually we have an intro to learn the basics, but this year we just had to dive in,” said junior Tim Sansone.

Members of the team agreed that a lack of organization, due to the late start and fresh faces, hurt the team down the stretch.

Despite underachieving, the team put up a fight and gained experience from the trial that will be key to the success of coming years. The team this year was a sharp contrast to teams in the past that were often carried by their seniors. The team featured mostly new members, especially underclassmen and athletes.

While winning and representing SLUH is always a goal, Lodholz expressed excitement about the team’s increased trial experience.

“The students get the case. We have come so far in understanding the federal rules of evidence and the logical structures behind the case,” said Lodholz.

Instead of worrying about overall team performance, the club turned its at-

tention to improving individual skills for the down year.

“Individually, we all met our expectations, but as a team we didn’t really do as well as we wanted to. This year we didn’t stack a team and so both teams did just okay instead of one team doing really well,” said junior David Stolz.

Whether or not the team makes it to the last round, Lodholz hopes that the gains in understanding and experience will pay off in future cases.

“We just need more courtroom experience. We just have to do it. It is like getting your sea legs,” said Lodholz.

“We learned a lot and got a lot of new kids who learned a lot too. We are better prepared for next year,” said Stolz.

Corley, 12 students volunteer at TEDx event photo | Sam Fentress

ath teacher Frank Corley and 12 St. Louis U. High students volunteered to help with the set-up, documentation, and running of a day of TEDx talks at the Sheldon Concert Hall last Saturday.

TED—which stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design—talks are short, concise talks meant for the spreading of ideas. Corley got involved with the St. Louis branch of TEDx—which is run by SLUH alum Steve Sommers, ’69—last fall in order to assist in the preparation of the TEDx Youth event that takes place every other year.

After showing continued interest, Corley was invited to help prepare for last Saturday’s talks.

“They needed help in the production of the event,” said Corley. “And by production they mean the actual puttingon, the logistics of the day.”

The event was split up into a live performance theater and two big rooms where the talks were broadcast si-

he Saint Louis U. High Scholar Bowl team faced off against a variety of opponents in a tournament hosted

by Wash. U. two weekends ago, winning four and losing six.

The tournament was an all-day academic spectacular and marked the 17th tournament put together by the Washington University Academic Team. This event mirrors the Yale University Quiz Bowl team’s Bulldog High School Academic Tournament, BHSAT. The tournament’s format includes bracketed round robin prelims, rebracketed round robin playoffs, and finally a four-team superplayoff, with a final if necessary.

Each match has a total of 20 tossups.

SLUH’s team feature seniors Conner Brinkmann and Nick Perryman and juniors Paul Daues and Duncan Allen.

“All four of our guys did well, and they all contributed.

We’re a pretty balanced team,” said coach Don Steingruby.

SLUH beat Christian High School, Clayton, and Webster Groves. They also beat Marquette in an intense match during the consolation bracket. On the 19th question of the match, with SLUH ahead of Marquette by just ten points, Perryman sealed the win by answering correctly before the question had been fully asked, notching the team bonus points.

SLUH’s six losses came at the hands of Savannah, Helias, Centralia, Orchard Farm, Brookfield, and Parkway Central. Often times the ScholarBills began slowly, digging themselves into a hole too deep to climb out of.

“We got off to bad starts, which hurt us in the long run, and we could never really come back from them,” said Brinkman.

Despite finishing with a losing record, the team is happy with its performance, considering the difficulty of the questions and the high level of competition.

“It was very competitive, and the questions were hard, so I was happy with how we did,” said Steingruby.

Robotics preps for competition at Chaifetz

ith a second year of building done and its robot finished, the SLUH Robotics Club is preparing for the upcoming competition this March at the Chafietz Arena.

“This is our second year and I think the building went a lot smoother than it did last year,” said club moderator Tracy Lyons.

This year’s challenge is to stack recycling bins on top of one another and to be able to move them around. The team tried to find the simplest way to do so since the more complicated the robot the more potential for things to go wrong.

“This year the competition is a lot more focused than last year’s was,” said Lyons.

“Last year there were many different ways to build the robot to complete the task, but this year there really isn’t.”

The team had six weeks, starting the day back from Christmas break, to build the robot. After this national deadline, no team can change or alter its robot in any way.

The next competition will decide which teams go to Nationals.

“I think we have a good set up and believe we may have a chance to qualify for Nationals this year,” said senior Eric Berg. “We did really well last year and that was our first year so we can pretty much only go up from there.”

multaneously.

“One of the rooms where it was simulcast was put into my responsibility,” said Corley. “I had to arrange furniture, food, and technology. I had to manage it and make sure it was clean and running smoothly all day long.”

Shortly before the event, the organizing staff realized that they were understaffed on volunteers, so Corley ex-

tended an invitation to the SLUH student body to volunteer at the event. He received 12 responses from students from every grade level.

The team was divided into two main groups, one electronics-based and one labor-based. The electronics group consisted of seniors Sam Fentress, Giuseppe Vitellaro, and Jack Barbey, sophomores Daniel Sitek and Nick

Wilmsmeyer, and freshmen Damen Alexander and Henry Matus. Their jobs ranged from photography to sound control to videotaping.

The group of students responsible for the set up and rearrangement of furniture throughout the day were seniors Don Stolz and Matias Grignola, junior John McManus, and sophomores PJ Cox and Chandler Love. Their day

started at 7:00, when they arrived to begin setting up the furniture for the event. For most of them, the day ended at 5:00, when the talks ended.

Some videographers decided to stay for the after-party, but after a long day of work, many of the volunteers went home.

“They really appreciated the SLUH students’ help,” said Corley. “Everybody raved about the help the SLUH stu-

dents gave.”

Corley hopes to continue SLUH’s involvement with TEDx in the future, as he believes it provides an opportunity to be enriched and entertained while helping the St. Louis community.

“It was really fun and worthwhile,” said Vitellaro.

“It was a chance to get to do something that I wouldn’t normally do.”

At SLUH, visible effects of tech “facelessness”

world stripped of faces is a world stripped, not merely of ethics, but of the biological and cultural foundations of ethics.”

In a recent New York Times op-ed entitled “The Epidemic of Facelessness,” author Stephen Marche linked animosity on social media to a decline in face-to-face communication. Marche highlighted the important role the face plays in humans’ abilities to make ethical decisions.

“Without a face,” he says, “the self can form only with the rejection of all otherness, with a generalized, all-purpose contempt—a contempt that is so vacuous because it is so vague, and so ferocious because it is so vacuous.”

Marche’s piece focused closely on cyberbullying and the extreme, even illegal, forms of it. But there are cases of technological facelessness that are less severe and closer to home.

Take, for example, the use of online multiplayer trivia app Kahoot! in the lunchroom last Monday. Students who answered trivia questions from their phones had the option of making their own anonymous username. Because they were essentially faceless, students who typed in curse words and

names of porn stars had no direct accountability for their actions, and no motivation to own up to the mask they had created—that is, until Dr. Kesterson threatened the upperclassmen with formal attire. Someone came forward.

Giving the potential victims a face, i.e. fellow classmates juniors and seniors, was motivation for the culprit to own up.

Facelessness at SLUH has seen serious issues on Twitter recently. Parody and imita-

tion accounts—the creators of which are nearly impossible to hunt down—have run rampant in SLUH circles. SLUH students on Twitter have spurred and participated in major online scuffles with students from Nerinx, Vianney, and Chaminade.

Aren’t we all supposed to be in the same boat? Why does friendly competition on the court become vicious animosity on the web? “The faceless communication social

media creates, the linked distances between people, both provokes and mitigates the inherent capacity for monstrosity,” says Marche.

A mask tells us more than a face, said Oscar Wilde. We’ve already proven to a great extent that technology can control the way we convey and even produce ideas and thoughts. If something doesn’t change, it’s going to get a lot harder to look in the mirror.

eniors taking the World Religions theology elective this semester listened to a presentation by guest speaker Bryan Wagner on Hinduism last Friday in the theatre.

Theology teacher Rob Garavaglia met Wagner at Wagner’s acupuncture clinic, Community Acupuncture of St. Louis, a number of years ago.

“We would always get in these long, long discussions about religion, and I found him an interesting person, and so I thought his life experiences the students would find interesting too,” said Garavaglia.

Wagner began his presentation by detailing his introduction to Hinduism.

Growing up in a Catholic family, he was first introduced to Eastern traditions at 12, when his sister taught him transcendental meditation.

is what I want,’” said Wagner.

After leaving the seminary and studying for 6 months in India, Wagner traveled the United States for 15 years teaching breathing techniques.

“In that time, I just realized, ‘You know what, I’m pretty much a Hindu. I practice like a Hindu does, I believe like a Hindu does,’” said Wagner. “And in Hinduism, there’s no official conversion.”

After detailing his story and experiences with Hinduism, Wagner opened the presentation up to questions, which ranged from the specifics of meditation and his worship life to how Hinduism interacts with culture.

When describing the processes of meditation, he likened describing the experience to describing a strawberry: no matter how much the experience is described, the listener will not grasp the experience unless they too

Last Friday, Kate Worley, a student at Washington University, gave a presentation titled “How to Talk About Abortion” during activity period. Worley, an active member of Washington University’s Pro Life club, focused on the importance of discussing abortion in a respectful manner and encouraged students to have discussions of their own.

Worley concisely mapped out different things that needed to happen in order to significantly change people’s stances on abortion. In just one activity period, she explained the importance of abortion alternatives, political action, and young people who are willing to listen to differ-

ent views and respectfully fight abortion.

It is common to see people outside of a Planned Parenthood holding signs or yelling through bullhorns, but Worley argued that such radical actions are counter effective in changing the stance on abortion. According to Worley, people change their minds after deep thought, and in most cases people don’t arrive at a conclusion instantaneously.

Worley’s talk had a promising turn out, and as students munched snacks, they got really engaged in her topic. The brief yet packed presentation ended with a short Q&A session where students asked

Hinduism “I often say my family was strongly Catholic but not strictly Catholic,” said Wagner. “Meditation saved me through my teen years. It brought a lot of peace and a lot of clarity to me.”

Around the same time, Wagner was also introduced to two Hindu texts. One was the sacred text of Hinduism, the Bhagavad-Gita, which his sister gave to him. He also received a booklet on the life of Krishna, a popular incarnation of God in Hinduism.

In his early 20’s, Wagner entered a Franciscan seminary, but he left formation after a couple years after attending a meditation workshop given by a Hindu man from India that exposed Wagner to a number of breathing techniques.

“Those blew my mind.

After my first experience of it, it’s like I felt love for everyone, my consciousness was really clear. I was like, ‘I like this; this

Wagner’s presentation was well-received by both students and teachers.

“His honesty about where he was with his life journey, I did appreciate that,” said theology teacher Danielle Harrison. “His struggles with the Catholic faith, his struggles with feeling accepted for a number of reasons, and just how he found a safe place within the Hindu tradition in which to explore more deeply who he was.”

“I thought Mr. Wagner made it really relatable, and he really got through the misconception of polytheism, seeing it almost like idolatry, and he really made Catholicism and Hinduism seem very much akin,” said senior Evan Schulz. “I thought he was very brave to share his story in front of everybody.”

ratio, greater professional psychological for students, and increased incorporation of spirituality and faith formation within the new counseling program.

Faith formation itself will get increased attention in the coming years, according to Laughlin’s presentation. One potential change is a four-year retreat program, meaning students would be required to attend at least one retreat every year. The Campus Ministry team would be expanded to help manage that program, and also to provide more opportunities for student service immersion in the local community and abroad.

Supporting these endeavors would be a sizeable financial burden, and Laughlin said the school would need Both concepts presented on last Friday included a significantly smaller chapel, to make room to raise around $70 million to for a relocated Campus Ministry on the first floor and larger faculty offices (where the current fully realize these ideas.

The endowment funds scholarships for students who may not be able to afford SLUH, in addition to aiding development in other areas like faculty wages and curriculum. New funds would also help pull the school out of its current debt of $13 million.

“We’re testing a case for support. We’ll be out talking to people to try to gain a sense of whether or not those are things that we will achieve,” said Laughlin.

A possible campaign would follow, a process that could take months or even years.

“When things are implementable is only going to be known when we realize the level of support to move those ideas forward,” said Laughlin.

Laughlin mentioned the concept of collaborative classrooms, which could potentially be located “This is strategic direction in the current art classrooms. Note: The renderings above are conceptual, not specific design plans. and we’re going to go out and test that case for support.”

participate in all kinds of civic organizations that have nothing to do with religion. They tend to vote more. They tend to know their civics more fully.”

The second speaker of the night was Jack DeGioia, president of Georgetown University. DeGioia focused his speech on global education, going back to early Jesuits who spent their lives educating abroad. He spoke of the interconnectedness of the modern world through technology, and the importance of embracing and cherishing a global community through addressing issues like income equality, youth unemployment, and climate change.

“It’s an incredible honor to be here at this institution that has so seriously gauged its responsibility to the future,” said DeGioia. “I was a dean (at Georgetown) when we celebrated our bicentennial, it’s an opportunity to bring together the community and to celebrate what is very rare in modern life.”

Both speakers were introduced by alumni of SLUH and the universities: John Schaefer, ’70 introduced Scully and Tom Purcell, ’89 introduced DeGioia. Schaefer was introduced by senior Andrew Bub, who was accepted to Notre Dame, and Purcell was introduced by senior John Fitzgerald, who was accepted

to Georgetown University.

Laughlin spoke third and last, beginning with words about inspiration and the formation of leaders at SLUH by encouraging cura personalis, the Jesuit ideal of educating the whole person. For the bulk of the nearly 50-minute speech, though, Laughlin focused on detailing the strategic plans that arose from Imagining 18.

Between those speakers, exquisite food filled the stomachs and music the hearts of convocation attendees. A three course meal—meatless on a Lenten Friday—of fresh romaine and spring mixed green salad served with maple sage vinaigrette, filet of sole stuffed with crabmeat, and a dessert of chocolate tuxedo torte with a Kahlua chocolate sauce and lemon mousse cake, was served to guests.

Several SLUH musical groups, including the chamber orchestra, Varsity Chorus, and the barbershop quartet from The Music Man, provided tunes to enrich the evening. Around 30 bowtie-clad students also volunteered to help serve food and drinks to the guests.

The event was a celebration of the work that has been done over the past 17 months in the visioning process of Imagining 18. The Imagining 18 process will now begin the phase of strategic direction.

Scottrade bound: Hockey back in Challenge Cup final photo | Patrick Enderle

BY Tim Nile REPORTER

J

unior goaltender Joe Warnecke ripped off his mask, skated toward the student section, and commenced celebrating with his teammates after a 5-0 semifinal win over the De Smet Spartans.

The win earned the team a trip to the Scottrade Center to battle CBC Tuesday night for the Challenge Cup. “We worked hard,” said head coach Kevin Fitzpatrick. “The last two games we’ve worked hard, and it’s paying off for us; we have a lot of skill. We put the work ethic in and we play as a team, we’re tough to beat.”

The Jr. Bills scored less than a minute into the game when senior captain Tommy Espenschied’s shot rebounded off the goalie and junior captain Patrick Pence was there to score the goal.

After the early goal, De Smet dominated the first half of the first period.

“We kept our composure,” said Fitzpatrick. “We didn’t get too rattled and we weathered the storm. We just kept working them.”

Throughout the first period, the Jr. Bill defense held a onegoal lead. Denfensemen junior Andrew Ott and freshman Matthew Hohl both had impressive body saves, and Warnecke acted like a brick wall between the pipes with multiple glove saves.

The momentum of the game changed halfway through when the Jr. Bills began to control the

puck. With help from a De Smet penalty, the team had the majority of the offensive possession for the rest of the period.

The offensive push was highlighted by senior Brendan Walters scoring the team’s second goal with 4:55 left in the period after the goalie mishandled junior Scotty Berger’s shot. This goal was followed by a breakaway by junior Jonah Schwartz that was saved by the De Smet goaltender.

The offensive momentum carried into the start of the second period as sophomore Luke Gassett scored on a rebound from junior captain Steve Lock-

wood.

De Smet plagued themselves with three penalties in the second. The Spartans rarely had the chance to shoot, but when they did Warnecke and the defense managed to preserve the shutout.

After a successful penalty kill on the only SLUH penalty of the game, the period ended with a 3-0 Jr. Bill lead.

In playoff hockey, the ice is resurfaced between the second and third periods. The break between the periods can be long enough for a team to refocus and dominate the rest of the game, even coming back from a three-

goal deficit.

“Anxiety,” said Fitzpatrick.

“You’re up 3-0 going into the third period, you worry about them getting a goal right away, then it’s a whole different game.

But our kids stayed focused, came out of the locker room, played hard, and played exactly the way we asked them to. When we do that we’re going to be successful” SLUH closed the game with an empty net goal by Ott with 1:36 left, followed by a goal by senior Ryan Krippene with 56.2 seconds left to finish off the 5-0 win. Both were celebrated with squid thrown onto the ice.

“Squid,” said Pence. “Just a great tradition of SLUH hockey.”

As the clock ran out, the Jr. Bills’ bench cleared and the team formed a group hug in front of the student section. After shaking hands with De Smet, they gathered for a picture in front of the fans and continued to turn and face them, and joining together they sang “Oh, When the Bills.”

But the season isn’t over.

The Jr. Bills will take on the number one team in state, CBC, for the Challenge Cup at the Scottrade Center. The team has faced the Cadets a total of five times this season: twice in the preseason and three times during the regular season, and in every matchup they have lost.

The closest matchup came in their most recent game against the Cadets, a 2-1 loss. The Jr. Bills looked strong, but a late goal that would have tied things at two was called back.

Despite their losing record to CBC, the team has faith.

“Looking at it,” said Fitzpatrick, “all the pressure is on CBC. They haven’t lost so we’ve got to be loose.”

With three practices left in the season, two this week and one next week, the team has time to prepare for the game environment and plan on how to attack CBC. “We’re going to work our hardest,” said Pence. “They had us numbered all season so we’re

Led by six seniors, the team won the MOHSRA State Championships this past Saturday—the team’s fifth consecutive State title, beating the next-closest team 585-275. SLUH players captured the title at the Nos. 1, 4, 5, and 6 seeds while coming in second place at the Nos. 2 and 3 seeds and in doubles.

“It feels pretty great,” said junior Tim Juergens. “I never expected at the beginning of the season that I would be at this point. I love it.”

All year, senior Kevin Schneier has been a key component of SLUH’s team and a dominant player, winning every

one of his games. However, the final match of the State Tournament was a test of Schneier’s will, as he came up against a hot player from Parkway West who was playing one of the best matches of his life.

After losing the first game of the match, the first game he had lost all year, Schneier was in unfamiliar territory. He knew he had to bounce back, and quick, if he wanted to have a chance at winning the match.

After starting the second game off slowly, Schneier stuck to his game strategy, channeling the hours upon hours of practice he had put in over the course of the season, and won the second game to force a tiebreaker, where he displayed his resilience and skill for an 11-3 win.

“Kevin really stepped up a lot in the finals,” said senior No. 4 seed Andy Warfield. “It’s really cool to see because

n a night when the St. Louis U. High basketball team honored its seniors and the SLUH student section made the Danis Field House feel like Cameron Field House, the Jr. Bills came up short, losing to top-ranked Chaminade College Preparatory (CCP) 84-78.

It was a dream start for the Jr. Bills, with junior point guard Matt Nester draining a three for an early 3-1 lead.

But once Chaminade took the lead, they never gave it back. Although SLUH only trailed the Red Devils 20-13 after the first quarter, three was as close as they got for the remainder of the game.

The Jr. Bills’ inability to overcome the deficit was a product of several factors, most significantly turnovers. In the first half, SLUH turned the ball over ten times, leading to multiple Chaminade fast breaks that lead to dunks from two of CCP’s best players, Jayson Tatum and Tyler Cook.

The Jr. Bills also struggled on the boards all night, getting outrebounded 28-22 on the game.

“It’s something better we can do,” said head coach Erwin Claggett. “We didn’t do a good job of boxing out or pursuing the ball when it was up in the air.”

SLUH’s rebounding was also hindered by foul trouble. Sophomores BJ Wilson and Brandon McKissic both fouled out in the second half, and sophomore Brent Smith and senior Hunter Schmidt spent time on the bench with foul trouble.

“It was hard, I feel like I let my team down that game,” said McKissic. “I feel like the fouls they called were really soft, but it happens, so you just have to accept it.”

Sophomore BJ Wilson takes the ball to the rim against CCP last Friday night.

“It was hard, because both (McKissic and Wilson) were playing well,” said senior Spencer Stapf.

However, despite its struggles, the team was only down by 11 points, similar to two weeks ago when the Jr. Bills trailed CBC by 13 points. Unfortunately, the comeback fell short, even as SLUH outscored Chaminade 26-21 in the final quarter of play.

CCP star Tatum led all scorers with 33 points, while junior point guard Nester and sophomore guard Davion Nash were both four for four from three-point range and finished with 20 points.

SLUH travels to Vianney tonight for its last regular season game before District playoffs start next Tuesday.

With a 14-11 record, the Jr. Bills are the No. 1 seed in their bracket, beating

18 for 18: an inside look at managing basketball

Last week, sports editor Marty Johnson sat down with seniors Colin Voigt and Eric Pitlyk, who are both looking to further their basketball managing careers in college. This conversation is the first in 18 for 18, a series of conversations that Johnson will conduct over the remainder of the school year.

Marty Johnson: How did you guys first get started in managing?

Colin Voigt: I first started out managing when I was trying to make the JV basketball team (sophomore year). I was trying out for the team and we ran a bunch the first day, and I said, ‘That’s enough running for me.’ I was going to go to tryouts the next day, but I really didn’t want to. But Coach Claggett had said something to my parents about managing that sounded like a much better idea to me than having to run. So I’m kind of like a player who doesn’t have to run. I went to his office and said ‘I’ll manage for you.’ And he said, ‘You know, you should wait until you see how you do at tryouts’ and I said ‘Coach, no more tryouts.’

I’ve been managing ever since.

Eric Pitlyk: I have more extensive roots. They go back to 5th grade when I was manager for my brother’s freshmen C team that was coached by Kent Kershenski.

I thought it was okay, because I was a kid among big freshmen. And then of course with my brother being at SLU influenced me a bit. I figured Colin’s a bro, Spencer’s a bro, might as well spend some time with them and then in the process help the basketball team.

MJ: Take me through your daily routine. What are your responsibilities as manager?

EP: Well the first thing we have to do is find someone to do film. That’s probably our biggest challenge.

CV: It usually starts the night before for me. I get the stats ready, the video ready, I have to charge up the camera. So basically when we get to either somewhere else if we’re away or we’re home, I usually have most of everything done. But the routine during game day is I go with the team to eat, and then we go to the gym. I have a checklist for myself to make sure everything is in or-

der with the stats sheet and the camera. We prepare the water and make sure everyone has everything. We make sure the refs have all of the information they need and that the other team has everything they need.

MJ: You guys both want to manage in college. Is there some sort of process you have to go through?

EP: The most important thing is knowing someone within the program. With my brother, one of our sisters had a good friend that was a manager and so my brother contacted him and started through that.

CV: With Indiana, there’s an application process. I’ll have to see how busy I am, but I’m definitely trying to make time for managing. It’s a big step up from what we’ve been doing in high school. But I think it’s an experience that’s definitely worth it. To go and travel to some of those places would be awesome.

MJ: If there is one top memory you had to take away from managing, what would it be?

EP: Hopefully it’ll be Friday night (against Chaminade). I don’t know. It’s hard to put into one experience because there’ve been so many different experiences.

CV: My biggest takeaway from my time managing, is being in the start for Coach Claggett, I was the manager his first year. So we went through the same process. So to see him evolve and see him to be able to coach this team, and to see where we are now versus where we were three years ago—It’s neat to see. The future is definitely bright for the team. But the biggest takeaway is probably to see how far I’ve come as a manager.

I used to, since I was the only one at the games, have to do the film, the stats, and the book at the same time. And I used to have to my parents drive me around. To have six or seven guys helping me out now is great. photo | Marty Johnson

due for one.”

“We’ve got to take one step at a time but we have plenty of film of CBC and we’ll break those down and come up with a game plan and we’ll be ready,” said Fitzpatrick.

Senior assistant captain Danny Tarlas will also be back on the ice for the game. Tarlas

is a huge factor in leadership on and off the ice.

The game will be played at Scottrade Center next Tuesday night at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $12 and are available at Scottrade.

The environment of the State game can be overwhelming, but Fitzpatrick and several players have been there

before and are preparing the younger players.

“Last time I was scared to death,” said Warnecke. “This time I’m looking to enjoy it a little bit more. I’m going to tell them to enjoy it, because it’s something they’ll never forget.”

Basketball looks to win Districts as No. 1 seed

(continued from page 6) out No. 4-ranked Webster Groves for the top spot. That being said, the team knows that the road to Columbia will be anything but easy.

“Anything can happen,” said Claggett. “It’s one-game elimination. You know, every game has to be a championship-caliber kind of game in

terms of focus and preparation you bring into it.”

Rounding out SLUH’s bracket is Oakville, Lindbergh, and Mehlville. The Jr. Bills’ opponent on Tuesday will be the winner of the Lindbergh/Mehlville game. A win earns the team a spot in Friday night’s District championship game against either Oakville or Webster.

The last time the Jr. Bills were District champions and advanced to the State Tournament was in the 1992-’93 season.

“I’m really excited about Districts. We have a good team, so I think we can make it to State. I have a lot of faith” in the team, said McKissic.

o conclude their season St. Louis University High varsity wrestlers traveled to Columbia for the MSHSAA State Championship Tournament this past weekend.

The first wrestler to head into action was senior captain Rafael Robert at the 170 pound weight class. This was his first trip to Columbia for the tournament in his four years of wrestling. Robert’s first match was against a Staley wrestler who was a freshman with a 41-4 record and 3 of those losses were outside the state of Missouri.

“Rafael had a really tough draw,” said assistant coach Sean O’Brien. “The kid he was wrestling was from Staley, and Staley is a wrestling powerhouse.”

After a hard-fought loss, Robert was placed into the wrestleback rounds, where’d he’d have to win four or more matches in succession in order to place. His next match was against Hazelwood West senior Nick Lange, who is known for a lightning-quick double leg takedown which he used to defeat Robert in a 2-0 match.

“It could’ve one way could’ve gone another, and the

Hazelwood West kid just happened to be a little better,” said O’Brien. “’Rafi’ had a fantastic season, he was such a great leader as a captain.”

In his second State Tournament appearance, 220-pounder John Sims reached a further point in the tournament than any other SLUH wrestler since Espen Conley placed fourth in 2009‘10. In fact, he is one of only two wrestlers to win a match at the tournament since Conley.

Sims started the tournament with a pin from his signature move in the first period over a Parkview opponent.

“Johnny had a good first round match, pinned his kid in a minute with the trademarked ‘Johnny Sims Latdrop,’” said O’Brien.

On Friday afternoon, Sims wrestled Joey Ziegler, a Francis Howell senior who finished in second place, and could not pull off the upset of the 43-6 Ziegler.

The loss placed Sims into the wrestlebacks, where he would need just two more wins to place.

In the first of the two matches, Sims faced a familiar opponent: Mason Costa of Lindbergh High School, who Sims had beaten twice previously, including the match to

clinch his berth in the State Tournament. Sims won once again, 8-5, with yet another successful attempt at his signature throw.

In the decisive match to see if he would place or not, Sims wrestled Brandon Fancher, a junior from Waynesville High. After a first period where Sims dominated the mat and pushed Fancher back the whole time, Sims chose to begin the second period in the down position to get the point for an escape. But Sims, once on bottom, faced a deceptively powerful attack from Fancher.

Fancher finally broke through Sims’ defenses for a victory with five seconds remaining in the period.

“He got up, almost escaped, and the kid took him back down and put him on his back, and that’s wrestling,” said O’Brien. “Again, he had a great season, he did a phenomenal job.”

SLUH heavyweight Max Kavy made his fourth appearance in Columbia with two goals in mind: place in the top three, and avenge his 0-4 record in Columbia over the past two years.

In the opening match on Thursday night, Kavy faced Cory “Big Country” Flem-

“He avenged the loss he had from last year that had really bothered him,” said O’Brien.

In the quarterfinals, Kavy faced the youngest wrestler in the bracket: Zane Shaddoxx of Liberty High. In a very close match, Kavy and Shaddoxx headed to the first overtime, where if either wrestler earned a takedown or any other point, he would win the match.

Near the end of the overtime period, Shaddoxx made an attempt and earned the

takedown on Kavy on a call that was a highly-contested by coaches Jon Ott and Pat Byrne because the two wrestlers appeared to be entirely out of bounds. The discrepancy was due to the rule that for a takedown to be awarded, the attacking wrestler must have both of his feet within the ten-foot circle. Due to the call, Kavy was also placed into the wrestlebacks and needed two wins to place.

“It was borderline,” said O’Brien. “I don’t agree with the call, but (he) had seven minutes to do something and the kid took him down.”

His opponent in the first wrestleback round was against Philip Reitz of Joplin High. In the first period, Reitz man-

aged to throw Kavy from his feet to his back where Kavy was unable to escape after 50 seconds of wrestling.

“In the wrestlebacks he just got caught,” said O’Brien.

“I think he was still upset and it affected his game plan.”

Though this is a large graduating class of seniors, with Collin Arroyo, Mick Callahan, Sigmund Gusdorf, John Sims, Robert, and Kavy all wrestling their last seasons this year, the underclassmen should be a force to reckon with.

The team is returning six wrestlers who received varsity letters this year, including juniors Justice Binder, Ben Schulte, and Henry Mungenast, sophomores Danny

Trittler and Nate Henty, and freshmen Rory Butler. They also have a large freshman group that performed well this year.

“We’ve got a really, really good group of freshmen,” said O’Brien. “They’re just mentally tough.”

With this strong base and tough uprising competition, O’Brien expects a good year from the team next year.

Senior Brian Kissel warms up before his state match.

(continued from Page 6) even when he isn’t playing his best, he’s still successful.”

Warfield captured the State title at the No. 4 seed.

Undefeated during the regular season, Warfield kept his undefeated streak alive throughout the State Tournament, winning every match without having to go into a tiebreaker.

“The finals was a close

match and I wasn’t playing as well as I would have liked to,” said Warfield. “But it still was enough to get the job done.”

Sophomore phenom and No. 5 seed Chris Schulze was arguably one of SLUH’s strongest players in the National tournament. Schulze was unstoppable during his state run, winning all three of his matches by a substantial margin. Over the course of the

tournament, the sophomore prodigy gave up a maximum of eight points in a game and did not have a single match go into a tiebreaker.

“It feels pretty great,” said Schulze. “I have a lot of confidence going into Nationals.”

At Nationals, Schulze’s biggest match will most likely be against a student from Oregon whom he says he may need to worry about, but other

“Nationals is tough, but it’s really nice to know I’m going to have a high seed,” Schulze said. “But even though I’m confident, I’m definitely nervous too. There’s lot of pressure to do well and I’m still a sophomore so I have a lot to prove.”

Junior No. 6 seed Tim Juergens stepped onto the varsity stage mid-season, after an injury to senior Ike Simmon, and he didn’t miss a beat—remarkably capturing the No. 6 seed state title.

“I definitely wasn’t expecting first at the beginning of the year,” said Juergens. “I didn’t even know I’d be on varsity much less be a state champion. It’s an awesome feeling.

It’s something that makes you feel good going into Nationals—that you know you’re number one in Missouri.”

Juergens’ biggest match was his 15-2, 15-2 semifinal win against a player from De Smet. The stomping gave Juergens a huge amount of confidence heading into the finals match, where he persevered and won 15-11, 15-6.

“It’s great to see the

younger players do well,” Warfield said of Juergens and Schulze. “It shows the SLUH racquetball team definitely has a future, which I love to see.”

SLUH also won both Junior Varsity divisions, which is a great sign for the future of SLUH racquetball.

The team is competing in the National tournament this week.

“Nationals will be a lot of fun, but I really don’t know what to expect. It’ll be a challenge but I think we have a good shot at winning every year, and that is no different this year. Last year everyone caught fire at Nationals so hopefully that will happen again this year,” Schneier said

with a chuckle.

The National Tournament rotates from being held in Oregon or Missouri every other year, and this year the tournament is in St. Louis, which gives the Jr. Bills a huge advantage over the other teams. But, even with the homecourt advantage, the SLUH players know they need to work hard this week to be successful in the tournament.

“We’ve put a lot of hard work into the season,” said Juergens. “All the guys were there every practice all season—working hard, doing the drills, and doing the workouts.

And I think thats why we did so well this season and why we’re going to do well at Nationals.”
