Men for Postponed Spirit Week brings dress down, music, splashes Honor meet to form code for next year

T

he St. Louis U. High Men for Honor are continuing to work on creating an honor code to be enacted for next year.

An honor code is a set of ethics and principles that a community strives to follow, much like a mission statement. “(An honor code is) a group of ideals for students to live by,” said senior Nick Perryman. “Not only in school, but out of school. Academically and morally.”

Perryman created Men for Honor along with fellow current seniors Peter Soto, Eric Pitlyk, Colin Voigt, Matias Grignola, and Sam Fentress as a way for students to work together with the administration to create an honor code for the school.

The group gathers to discuss honor codes from other academic institutions as a way to gather inspiration to create SLUH’s own code, to gain a

ith trivia, rap battles, and a tailgate, Spirit Week returned this week after being postponed for a month.

The week started resoundingly with Music Monday, which included songs playing over the loudspeaker during passing periods and a new addition to Spirit Week, a music-themed contest during lunch.

The trivia game was run

with the program Kahoot! where participants with devices could enter a PIN and a nickname to play a quiz game.

Intramurals Rep Gabe Horas put the questions together.

“I thought (the questions) were pretty tricky,” said STUCO moderator Katherine Toussaint.

Toussaint hoped the trivia game would involve more students than some of the other Spirit Week events.

The trivia was planned for both freshman/sopho-

more and junior/senior lunch. There were issues with everyone logging in during freshman/sophomore lunch, however, so the underclassmen couldn’t play on Monday. As a result, the freshmen and sophomores weren’t able to compete until Wednesday’s lunch.

Upperclassmen winners were seniors Kevin Schneier, Michael Neuhoff, and Matt Barron, and from the underclassmen, freshmen Brendan Moore and John Reiss and sophomore T.J. Hunkins.

Winners will receive a ten dolphoto | Dominik Skroska lar gift card to Jimmy John’s.

There was no school on Tuesday due to the Faculty InService Day, a “Spirit-Week Surprise” according to the STUCO email.

Wednesday brought the return of Wet Billies. Seniors had a pre-scheduled class Mass during activity period, so freshmen, sophomores, and juniors were the only competitors in the blue-paintladen slip-n-slide. To give seniors a chance to participate in the Spirit Week staple, the winner of the Wet Billies, junior Robert Caldwell, will compete with willing seniors today during Activity Period.

During activity period on Thursday, students put their rap skills to the test in the Jr. Billie 8 Mile Competition. Held on the stage of the Joseph Schulte Theatre,

Alum directs Cardinals Instagram campaign

n 80’s DeLorean? A disappearing Rally Squirrel? A hazmat sign-ridden Fredbird? These are part of the latest Instagram campaign directed by SLUH alum Doc Crotzer, ’02, and organized by the Cardinals communications department.

The project, which has been dubbed #BirdToTheFuture, was meant to publicize the newly-opened Cardinals Hall of Fame in Ballpark Village.

“We really wanted a showcase that celebrated the history of the team and did so in a way that was fun for an audience of all ages,” said Crotzer.

Crotzer came up with the idea at a game last season.

“I know some folks who work in the Cardinals communications department and we had talked the last few years about trying to do something together—some sort of video project,” said Crotzer. “But the timing just never worked out.”

After Crotzer came up with the idea, Vice President continued on page 4 of Communications for the Sports

Cardinals Ron Watermon wrote it in the short, 15-second clips it appears as now.

However, Crotzer’s original plan for the idea was a simple short film, similar to those shown between innings.

“It was a completely different take on the same idea of how can we have a little fun with Fredbird and time travel as well as celebrate the history of the team,” said Crotzer.

Due to the nature of Instagram’s video feature, Crotzer had to make the clips in 15-second increments.

“It was a possibility that viewers might watch out of sequence or in chunks, so we wanted to make sure the viewing experience was fun regardless of whether people watched one or two episodes while in an elevator on a smart phone, or sat down and watched 20 in a row on a computer,” said Crotzer.

This project differed from Crotzer’s other work editing the popular, hipswinging hits on Glee and the serious dramatics on Sons of Anarchy, both of which he’s been working on for the last few years.

Australians visit SLUH for third time in six years SLUH plans to visit alums

BY Joe Fentress and John Burke reporters hirty-two Australians roamed the hallways of St. Louis U. High last week as part of their month-long U.S. tour.

The Australians were on a U.S. Business Studies trip and visited New York, Chicago, and Washington D.C. before coming to St. Louis.

This is the third time in the last six years that Australians from Riverview High have visited SLUH, thanks to two former SLUH faculty: former SLUH teacher Suzanne Walsh, who currently teaches at Riverview, and former SLUH President Paul Sheriden, S.J., also an Australian.

While in St. Louis, the group visited the Federal Reserve and Graphic Packaging and attended a SLUH football game. The group stayed in St. Louis for five days, and students attended several classes.

“The classes are much different, the teachers (are different); it’s just a whole different culture,” said Australian exchange student Josh Martin.

was definitely an adjustment for the Australians, but they had already been traveling for about a month before they ventured to St. Louis.

“We’ve visited about 15 or 20 businesses so far,” said Australian exchange student Harry Ryan, including Google and the McDonald’s Headquarters.

The Australian travelers who came were all either

Economics or Business Studies students who signed up for the trip. Originally there were around 100 students who wanted to come, but after a careful interviewing process, that number was narrowed to 32.

With the help of secretary to the principal Jan Cotter, each Australian was assigned a host family, whom they stayed with during their

visit.

Sophomore Matt Godar hosted two Australians, Ryan and Martin, and the experience was educational and entertaining for both parties.

“My favorite thing about St. Louis has been living with the Godars,” said Ryan.

“They’re a great family.”

“It was interesting to see how amazed they were just by the way that the U.S. works,” said Godar.

A narrative of the life Mothers’ Club Card Party Join the Mothers’ Club for the of literature at SLUH 87th annual Card Party SunFor the next four next issues, the Prep News will look into the history of the curriculum for each of the four years of English. Because many books started in smaller pilot capacities, dates for when each book entered the curriculum are approximate.

Up until the early 1980s, the freshman English curriculum was rooted largely in grammar. Freshmen would take one semester of grammar, and then freshmen who struggled would take another semester. Freshmen who were proficient in grammar would have the option of taking a few different classes, including a typing class.

Around 1980, former teacher Bill George helped lead the English department towards a more literaturebased curriculum. They turned the second semester of grammar into a semester of books, using Romeo and Juliet, Huck Finn and Lord of the Flies as starting points.

For a few years, they also read Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea. The semester would start with Old Man, then move onto Lord of the Flies, then Huck Finn, then Romeo and Juliet. The idea was to gradually challenge the freshmen more and more.

“Each book became more and more foreign to them and required more and more leaps of the imagination on their part, reading for implication and all that kind of stuff,” said George.

English teacher Chuck Hussung said that freshman literature hopes to get students to jump into an interpretation of literature as much as possible.

Introduced with Huck Finn and Romeo, Lord of the Flies was meant to reinforce the real possibilities for interepretation of literature in the class room.

Today, Chuck Hussung is the only freshman English teacher to teach Lord of the Flies.

“It is such a carefully crafted book, and it so obviously demands interpretation,” said Hussung. “I like my freshmen reading a book where it’s clear I didn’t make up this stuff that I’m telling them about the book; I discovered it.”

“You can do all sorts of things with Lord of the Flies,” said George.

Year it entered the curriculum (approximately)

rom Feb. 12 through 14, a group of sophomores and juniors will have the opportunity to travel to Manhattan to get real life experience inside the business world.

Economics teacher Kevin Foy, businessman Brett Kimes, the father of SLUH junior Mick Kimes and freshman Mark Kimes, and SLUH president David Laughlin will chaperone the trip.

The group will visit Goldman Sachs, a global banking firm; Morgan Stanley, a financial services corporation; Viking Global, an investment firm; and Ares Capital Management, an investment advising corporation. At these companies, the students will be able to visit a bond trading floor and see the workings of different financial corporations.

The students also will be paired up with SLUH alumni who work at some of the corporations.

“I am grateful and deeply touched by our alumni, who immediately and generously responded to assist SLUH’s students with this unique opportunity,” Laughlin said.

“Our main goal is for (students) to have a better understanding of how capital markets work and how that work impacts the rest of the world,” said Foy. Foy also hopes that students can learn more about our nation’s economy based on these and similar businesses. His plan is for students to realize how our global economy functions within business

and corporations.

“I want guys to have a sense of what they should avoid or what they should try to do if they want to get (into business) themselves,” said Foy. Laughlin is very excited about the trip. “(This trip) will provide an experiential level to (the students) formation” in the business world,” said Laughlin.

Since this is the first time SLUH has ever offered such a trip, space will be limited.

Over 50 students have already reported interest.

Foy is excited, but knows that the number needs to be narrowed down. While he is unsure of exactly what this process will be, an application will be sent out to students, along with some required preparation work. The final travelers will be chosen from those who qualify.

Any interested students should email Foy as soon as possible for further information. The cost is not predicted to exceed $700, and fundraising and other opportunities may be available for those who need it.

“It’s a really exciting opportunity, and it’s going to do a good job of giving excited alums a way to connect with current students,” said Foy. “It takes the SLUH experience and pushes it out longer for current students by connecting them with these guys. It keeps them connected, so when you graduate, you can become one of these guys in the future who continues to give back.”

Corrections The picture paired with last week’s article detailing the football team’s win over Parkway South was mislabeled. The photo was taken by Dominik Skroska.

In last week’s cross country article, junior Joe Butler was said to have run 16:52. He ran 15:52 for three miles.

In last week’s spread on what goes on backstage for the production of You Can’t Take It With You, the Prep News incorrectly stated the name of one of the lighting workers. Her name is Maureen Berry.

The Prep News regrets these errors.

Huck Finn was meant to ramp up the intellectual implications and challenges posed by Lord of the Flies.

“Huck was even more complicated than Lord of the Flies. You have all these different voices, and was Jim just a dupe or was Jim more clever than people gave him credit for?” said George. “It introduced point of view in a way that most of those kids hadn’t studied before.”

The book also brought questions of racism and slavery to the forefront of students’ minds.

“There were also the racial implications that we wanted to take straight on,” said George.

ou’ve heard about them.

You’ve thought about how cool it would be to have one. Well, now St. Louis U. High has one: a 3D printer.

The fully-functional printer was constructed over the summer by seniors Eric Berg, Alex Beffa, and sophomore Nick Wilmsmeyer, along with Director of Information Technology Jonathan Dickmann.

Last Spring, Dickmann learned about a summer workshop at Whitfield School in Creve Coeur that allowed schools to send three students to learn about 3D printers and how to construct one. Dickmann selected Berg, Beffa, and Wilmsmeyer because of their experience and past interest in technology.

The group was given the necessary parts and resources, and began assembly on the first day. The team divided the labor, each member working on a different part of the printer. Almost all of the parts, with the exception of complex pieces such as circuitry and motors, were printed by other 3D printers.

“We had the printer completely assembled in two days,” said Berg. “The last two days we started tuning it because there’s a lot of tuning that goes into it, and then playing around printing things.”

The relatively swift assembly afforded the team the time needed to address the

giving him advice and suggestions for the club. Steingruby is also keeping in touch with Gioia by email to converse about ideas for Chess Club.

“We’re going to try and keep going with whatever the guys were doing last year,” said Steingruby.

The Quiz Bowl team will remain in the Private School League for the season, and the Chess Club will remain in the Gateway Chess League.

Steingruby plans to have Quiz Bowl meet on Tuesdays after school, while Chess Club will meet on Wednesdays after school.

“I don’t have any giant plans for the first year though,” said Steingruby. “I’m learning the ropes.”

ath teacher Don Steingruby has buzzed in before math teacher Frank Corley for the position as moderator of Quiz Bowl and has checkmated former Latin teacher Jim Gioia for the position of moderator of the Chess Club.

The culmination of difficulty was the Shakespeare play Romeo and Juliet. The decision acknowledged that freshman might be familiar with Shakespeare but needed a more rigorous look into the actual text of the play.

“Most of these kids had done some Shakespeare in 8th grade or 7th grade, but they hadn’t really,” said George. “We were going to ask them to understand it.”

George also taught a senior Shakespeare class—now taught by Mr. Cummings—that would revisit Romeo and Juliet to take an additional, even deeper look at the play.

Frank Kovarik introduced Frederick Douglass in response to parent complaints about a lack of African American perspective in the curriculum (Huck Finn presents slavery from a white point of view).

After Kovarik taught it in his freshman class, the department decided to incorporate it in all the English classes.

Kovarik pointed out that although it started out as a way to introduce a black perspective to the curriculum, the book also fits the curriculum well, acting as a literacy narrative that details Douglass’s move from boyhood to manhood.

When Robert Fagles released his translation of The Odyssey in 1996, it took then-English teacher Joe Gavin (who had taught a different translation in years before) little more than a year to use it in his classroom in the fall. The following year, 1999, Chuck Hussung started using it in his classes. The rest of the department hopped on board in 2000.

Hussung says that the text breathes well even 2500 years after it was written.

“It’s good for our students to read very old literature and see that it’s complex and sophisticated,” said Hussung.

“There’s no winner, but I feel like Sam Perry and Alix Warner did a really great job,” said Toussaint.

The dress-down theme for Thursday was “Throwback Thursday” where students were encouraged to wear old SLUH apparel.

“A lot of kids have stuff from their dads or older brothers,” said senior vice president Kellen Cushing.

“We want(ed) everyone to wear a piece of clothing they

think is the best, is the coolest.”

STUCO plans to have students vote on their favorite vintage SLUH clothing item to be recreated and sold.

Spirit Week was originally scheduled to be held the week of Sept. 8. Monday had started with music playing between classes as originally planned and the student band the Plywood Inspectors performing during activity period, but the announcement of the death of senior Connor Lewis before third period, STUCO postponed the week.

“Obviously, with what happened with Connor, we didn’t feel it was comfortable to continue that week,” said Cushing.

After a brief break, STUCO did eventually want to hold Spirit Week.

“We didn’t want to kill the hype completely, we felt like a few weeks would be a good waiting period,” said Cushing.

STUCO wanted to fit the week in before the quarter ended. This week worked because of the home football game this weekend against Lafayette.

Before the football game tonight, Spirit Week will wrap up with a tailgate on the upper field. Five dollars will buy either a polish sausage from Piekutowski’s, a hot dog, or a burger. The event will begin at 5 p.m. with Channel 5 broadcasting live (check tonight).

When the honor code is finally completed, the group will submit it to the administration for editing and final judgement, although Perryman doesn’t think that the administration will make many changes.

“We haven’t quite gotten that far,” said Perryman. “But it’s a little bit more pure in the sense that it’s from students and not something top down from the administration.”

However, he doesn’t forget the start he got at SLUH, where he credits film teacher Mark Cummings with his roots.

“At some point during those classes, I realized that movies weren’t just something you watch in a theater or on TV, but actually an industry that you could go work in,” said Crotzer. “That was when it really clicked for me that I wanted to pursue that once I was finished with school.”

he St. Louis U. High cross country team wrapped up a busy week yesterday with a perfect sweep of the MCC race where the Jr. Bills took seven of nine places. The team also placed third in the Parkway West Invitational last Saturday.

Before the meet, senior Jack Sullivan’s goal was a perfect score, with the SLUH runners taking the top seven places.

“We knew that even when all the other teams had their best days, we should definitely have a good shot of doing that,” said Sullivan.

“You’ve got to be excited when you can put six guys in front of (CBC’s first finisher),” said head coach Joe Porter.

The Jr. Bills ran yesterday’s race exactly according to their race plan.

Throughout the week before yesterday’s race, Porter told runners that they were to run as a pack throughout the beginning of the race. Once the group reached the straight stretch right before the two-mile mark, the plan was to stop racing against other teams and start racing against each other. Runners were still advised to help each other out

and to run in groups, but it was now not a question of what team would win the race, but rather which Jr. Bill runner would win individually.

“They were supposed to be together through a mile and seveneighths, and then I asked for them to race each other and make moves and see who could come out on top,” said Porter. “(Senior Matthew Hennessey) ran great, and this is the first time this year that (Sullivan) has been up on (Hennessey’s) shoulder, so we’re really excited about that.”

In the end, Hennessey edged out teammate and classmate Jack Sullivan to win the race with a time of 16:11. Sullivan finished shortly after with a time of 16:24, followed by seniors Thomas Hogan (16:28; 3rd) and Shayn Jackson (16:41; 4th).

Junior Joe Butler (16:45; 5th) outkicked senior Jack Gallagher (16:46; 6th) to grab the last scoring spot by three tenths of a second. Junior Billy Balossi (16:59; 9th) was the last of the SLUH runners, losing to CBC’s top two runners by only a few seconds and beating the next runner by nearly 30 seconds.

t. Louis U. High’s varsity hockey team played in a sled hockey game against the Disabled Athlete Sports Association (DASA) St. Louis Blues Sled Hockey Team last Saturday. Sled hockey is a type of hockey where people with physical disabilities can play by using metal sleds to move around. DASA consists of men and women with missing limbs and with spinal injuries.

This was the third consecutive year that SLUH has played DASA. Head coach Kevin Fitzpatrick started the tradition two years ago after getting to know the DASA coach, who encouraged the teams’ first meeting.

DASA began playing against high school teams in 2007 in an attempt to teach more people about sled hockey and to raise money.

In addition to playing exhibition games against high schools, DASA competes in the Midwest Sled Hockey League.

“I think it is a really great thing that we are helping out their team,” said junior Scotty Berger. “It’s just something that our team is doing to help out the community.”

Those in attendance were also encouraged to donate to DASA. The money raised will be used to pay for team transportation and ice time.

SLUH also played on sleds, presenting a significant difference from playing on skates. Although the score was not kept, DASA rolled over SLUH, with the unofficial score being 14-3. Two of DASA’s players competed in the 2014 Winter Paralympics in Sochi for the U.S. National Team.

he St. Louis U. High varsity football team wanted to go out to West County to steal a win and the MCC title from rival CBC last Friday. Unfortunately, the Jr. Bills were thwarted by the Cadets, losing 49-16.

The Jr. Bills knew they would have their hands full. CBC came into Friday night’s game undefeated and had outscored MCC opponents 1670. Even so, SLUH was confident that they could stay with the formidable Cadets.

And for much of the game they did. After giving up an interception on their first possession that led to a CBC touchdown, the Jr. Bills settled down.

On the Cadets’ next possession, junior defensive back Daniel Jackson recovered a fumble which gave SLUH the ball inside CBC territory.

The Jr. Bills capitalized on the turnover as senior kicker Jake Cox made a 23-yard field goal, his first of the continued on page 6 year, to make it 7-3 CBC with 5:20

left in the first quarter.

“It was good to get (the first one) out of the way,” Cox said.

While the score was 23-3 at the half, the Jr. Bills were still in the game.

But throughout the game, the Jr. Bills fumbled the ball five times and lost four of them.

“This is a really good football team that we played in CBC,” said head coach Gary Kornfeld. “The problem was that we gave them too much. You can’t give a good team the turnovers we gave them.”

SLUH found success through the air and the ground, but had trouble scoring. Sophomore quarterback Mitch Batschelett was 16-29 for 229 yards with two touchdowns. Sophomore Andrew Clair and senior Andre Colvin rushed for a combined 140 yards on 20 carries.

The team had no trouble from starting drives, but it did struggle to finish them. Kornfeld praised the effort of the offense, citing how they kept battling to score two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, a 68-

yard touchdown reception from sophomore Tony Adams and a 22yard touchdown reception from junior Daniel Isom.

SLUH’s six turnovers left the defense on the field for much of the game. The tired SLUH defense, who had mostly stopped CBC’s big play potential in the first half, gave up 73- and 44-yard touchdowns in the second half.

“We took the wrong reads on some balls, missed tackles, didn’t wrap up,” senior linebacker Aiden Jacobsen said.

Kornfeld praised the defense for never quitting.

“Defensively, I thought our kids played their rear ends off, even though we gave up the points because they were always on a short field,” Kornfeld said.

Adding to SLUH’s tough night were the injuries to senior offensive lineman Christian Stewart and freshman quarterback Christian Perez. Stewart, who injured his foot, hopes that he can play Lafayette on

s time expired in the third period, junior captain Patrick Pence wristed a shot across the goal line to give the Jr. Bills a 2-1 victory over the Oakville Tigers in the team’s second game of the Top Hat Preseason Tournament at Webster Groves.

Despite the great finish, it was a slow start for the team, due to the absence of seven player who play often.

The first period consisted of missed offensive opportunities and great defense. Pence had a chance early on a two on one but couldn’t convert, chipping the puck over the net. Shortly after Pence’s miss, senior A.J. Bowman missed a backhand shot coming off of a faceoff.

On the other side of the ice, the Tigers were met by Jr. Bills goaltender junior Joe Warnecke, who saved all eight shots on goal that period.

“It’s early in the year; we have a lot of work to do, but I like where we’re at right now,” said head coach Kevin Fitzpatrick.

The second period was almost as slow as the first. With 9:11 left, Oakville was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct, giving the Bills a power play, but they could not convert.

Oakville had several chances in the second period, but the Jr. Bills’ stellar defense—Warnecke’s tremendous saves, junior Scotty Berger’s big hits, and junior Andrew Ott’s superb blocking skills—kept the shutout.

The Jr. Bills were awarded their second power play of the night with 1:42 left in the second after the Tigers were called for tripping. But eight seconds later, senior Tommy Espenschied was called for high sticking to make it a four-on-four.

At the end of the second, the game was still scoreless and the Tigers had out-shot the Jr. Bills 16-15 for the first two periods.

“In spots we did very well and in other spots we didn’t play that well. In the second period we played awful. We were back on our heels and they were all over us. We weren’t moving our feet and weren’t skating very well,” said Fitzpatrick.

With 12:01 left in the third period, the Tigers scored the first goal of the game. The Jr. Bills quickly fought back to tie the game at 1-1 with a goal by Espenschied. The Jr. Bills had found their intensity.

A minute later, the Jr. Bills failed to score on a two-on-one with Bowman and sophomore Liam Knobbe.

Espenschied also had a breakaway that was unsuccessful. Oakville was penalized again for tripping, but the power play did not last long. Ten seconds later, Pence and an Oakville player got into a scrum and two players from each team were sent to in the box with 5:23 left in the game.

With 2:34 left, Ott, a defenseman, missed a slapshot, missing to the right. Sophomore Louis Garavalia shortly followed with a breakaway but was unable to give the Jr. Bills their game-winning goal.

The Tigers outshot the Jr. Bills 25-23, but that didn’t matter. The fi-

However, Perez’s injury was more severe. As he was running the ball in the first half, Perez was hit by three CBC defenders. One of the defender’s helmets crunched Perez’s arm, causing him to fumble and breaking his wrist in the process.

Perez would not return to the game, and he was taken to a local hospital to have his injury treated. Perez will miss the rest of the season.

terback, Kornfeld has moved freshman Austin Hannah from JV to varsity.

“He’s done a nice job in practice.

I think it’s credit to coach Brown and Ware on JV. It was a seamless (transition),” Kornfeld said.

Tonight, SLUH will play its last regular season home game against Lafayette (4-3). Last year, the Jr. Bills went to Lafayette and beat them 1714, thanks to a late field goal by Cox, spoiling their homecoming.

Kornfeld expects a challenge.

“(Lafayette) just lit it up last week against Parkway South. Their three losses are against great ball clubs. They’re a heck of a ball club,” Kornfeld said.

This will be the last regular season home game for the team’s seniors and they hope to go out on a high note.

“It’s going to be sad, but I think it’s going to fun at the same time because I think we’re really going to play well,” Kavy said.

he St. Louis U. High varsity soccer team laid down a few more miles of track on its road to state with a 4-0 win against Rock Bridge.

The goals in SLUH’s favor started off fast with a quick finish from senior Andrew Patke off a pass from senior Elliot Boerding that put SLUH up 1-0.

In the 11th minute, senior captain Clark Conway met Patke with a chip pass over a Rock Bridge defender, leading to a good chance, but Patke’s shot went wide right. Three minutes later, senior Joe Jasso lined up for a free kick that Boerding headed in for a 2-0 SLUH lead.

One minute later, senior Will DelaRoche was hit in the face with a clearing kick and left the game with concussion symptoms. In the same minute, junior Ian Hurford split two opponent defenders with a quick pass to Conway on the right wing; Conway then crossed the ball over to junior Peter Simon, whose shot was stopped by the Rock Bridge goalie.

In the 27th minute, senior captain Gram Tolish almost snagged another goal for SLUH, but his shot went high. Two minutes later, Simon’s throw-in from the left wing went over the Rock Bridge defender to Patke, who passed to Boerding, who then settled the ball on his chest and booted it into the back of the net, making it 3-0 SLUH. Later, in the 37th minute, senior John Ratermann almost found the back of the net off of a pass from junior captain Matt Frein, and the half ended at 3-0 in favor of SLUH. Coach Charlie Martel decided to rest some of his starters for the second half in order to see how dif-

ferent players would perform under pressure.

Jasso’s free kick in the 5th minute almost recreated the first half goal, but senior Cort Held’s header went wide right. Three minutes later, senior Rocco Vienhage was fouled as he attempted to shoot. Vienhage’s free kick went narrowly over the bar and was met with a huge sigh from the crowd.

The team controlled the game for the next 18 minutes, with neither team getting notable opportunities until senior captain Elias Asres booted a ball off the right post after a pass from Vienhage.

Three minutes later, Ratermann found a lane and broke through two Rock Bridge defenders for a breakaway finish to put SLUH up 4-0.

Rock Bridge did not give up, though. They were able to get two big chances in the last 30 seconds, with both attempts being thwarted by senior goaltender Greg Niven and sophomore Miles Horton to preserve the shutout.

“I thought we played well,” said Frein. “It was nice to give the starters a break and a chance for the other guys to show their stuff. I don’t think the level of play dropped off after the coaches took out the starters, which is great for them as well as the team as a whole. It was a good team win against a squad that can make you pay for your mistakes.”

“We were able to get up on top early, and we never let up,” said junior Sam Perry. “That’s just the way this team plays. We come out firing.”

The Jr. Bills play next on their journey to State at 6 p.m. tonight at O’Fallon (Ill.) Township High School.

nal score was 2-1 Jr. Bills and Pence was the hero of this game as his unassisted shot crossed the goal line.

“We played well for the most part. It felt pretty amazing after the

ref made a terrible call on me, but as long as we got the win, that’s all that matters,” said Pence.

The team plays Thursday night against their rival, the CBC Cadets, at Webster Groves at 7.

tain of the DASA team. “Obviously, we have an advantage at this, but if you put me and my prosthetic limb out on the ice in skates, those kids would have the advantage. Obviously, it’s easier for us to skate against (SLUH). But, the benefit for us is having a little fun and letting the kids know that no matter what your injury or your disability in life is, it’s all in your head. Physically, you are what you are, but mentally is where the toughness comes from.”

“It’s really just fun to get out there and get an experience of playing hockey from a different perspective and see how (the DASA players) get around,” said junior Joey Pinkowski. “It really gives you a different kind of respect for how they play and how they do everything with their arms. It is a great way to really appreciate the way you get to play hockey with your legs.”

“It was a lot of fun,” said Berger.

“I think it’s good team bonding for our team. Those guys love it and we love it.”

“It was a great experience for our kids,” said Fitzpatrick. “This third year has been a blast for our kids.”

After the game, Malady came into SLUH’s locker room to talk to

the players about how he really appreciates the players coming out and having fun. Malady also told the players that DASA was not concerned with making a great deal of money but with having a good time.

“We’re going to definitely keep in contact with all of those guys,” said Pinkowski, who also noted that the team hopes to do more for the community in the future.

SLUH hockey plans to help out

time he’s been racing with the group rather than falling off the pack, which was good,” said Porter. “We knew he was capable of it, but it we wanted to see him do it.”

Going into the race, the team’s first priority was to focus on decreasing the one-to-five man spread to a lower spread than the 38 second gap at the Forest Park XC Festival.

Porter has been emphasizing the importance of running as a group, and this was their most successful race of the year in that aspect, running with only a 34 second gap between Hennessey and Butler.

“That was exactly what we were shooting for,” said Porter. “We were :38 at the Festival and a minute exactly at Palatine, and we really wanted to get that gap back down to where it typically is. It was a big day for the back half of the group. ”The Parkway West Invitational was a different story. With five of this week’s top six resting like Davidson did this week, the team looked to top JV runners senior Garret Fox and sophomore Joe Laughlin to close the gap.

And close the gap they did. The third place team was led by Hogan (16:43; 8th), finishing as SLUH’s first

B Soccer survives weather, beats Rock Bridge

BY Jack Miner REPORTER

t. Louis U. High’s B soccer team added two wins to its record this week to improve to 5-3-3, beating De Smet 1-0 last Friday and Rock Bridge 3-0 this Tuesday.

“It was brutal,” said coach Tom Zinselmeyer of game conditions. “It was freezing cold and it had rained all day.”

“We’ve been playing in a new 4-4-2 formation that really spreads the field out,” said sophomore defender Brandon Trusler. “We’re getting more opportunities for through balls to the end line, which led to crosses and more goals.”

Although the score was 3-0 against Rock Bridge, this win was much harder than the match against De Smet. Trusler also said, “We pretty much dominated play all game (against De Smet) even though we only scored one goal.”

“Having the day off did not help our soccer minds,” said sophomore defender Nic Delgado. “We finally started rolling after the first 20 minutes and scored a couple of goals, then they started fouling, which made for an interesting second half.”

“Everyone has contributed,” said Zinselmeyer of the team. “The back line especially has just been

fter having a meet at Rockwood Summit cancelled last Thursday due to storms and a power outage, the St. Louis U. High swim team entered the weekend fresh after its surprise day off.

SLUH swam Saturday in Cape Girardeau at the Cape Rock Invitational. SLUH entered two teams into the field of 26 schools, something they have done at many of the invites this year to get as many swimmers in as possible.

The team had a slow start, as the 200 Medley Relay added time.

Junior Justin Andrews placed fourth in the 200 Individual Medley and senior Colin Derdeyn placed second in the 50 Freestyle, but not swimming his best time. Michael Krause had a good swim in his 50 as he secured tenth place for the Bills.

“I was tired and did not get pumped up the way I usually do for meets,” said Derdeyn. “My times reflected that.”

As the day progressed, SLUH also received points from freshman Barkley Dale in the 100 Backstroke.

Andrews won the 100 Breaststroke and junior Mark Franz placed eighth, although he added two seconds.

To finish the meet, SLUH took fourth in the 400 Free Relay, add-

ing time again, and ended with 214 points at fourth overall. SLUH was three points away from a trophy and breaking into the top three.

“We have had a lot of invitationals this year and I think a little bit of fatigue and lack of mental toughness settled in for the meet,” Derdeyn said afterwards. “Just like the Mizzou prelims last weekend, many people’s times reflected how tired they were.”

After the meet Saturday, coach Joe Esposito talked to the team about the weekly workouts. The team will be straying from the race pace workout the team has trained with all season and run some distance workouts to build up stamina.

“Practices this week have been rough,” said junior Thomas O’Brien.

“We have done a ton of swimming on fast intervals to get more yardage in.”

The team had three practices this week followed by a meet yesterday at Parkway Central and one today against MICDS. “With only a week or two before we start to rest for conference and State, we are amping up the distance at practice to supplement all of the sprint work we have done this season,” Derdeyn said. “The challenge right now is keeping the same intensity we have in sprints over a longer period of time.” photo | Patrick Enderle

phenomenal.”

Zinselmeyer also specifically mentioned the defensive contributions from Trusler, Delgado, and freshman Scott Janasik.

“Guys like Donovan Ditto, Kurt Schumacher, Will Rudder, Pietro Nicastro, and goalie Klaus Preusser have really stepped up as well,” said Zinselmeyer.

“We look like Team USA out there with goalkeepers Daniel Frein and Preusser stopping every ball that comes their way,” said Delgado.

“This gives us a huge advantage in the long run.”
