The CBC Cadets baseball team is advancing in the Class 5 State tournament after defeating St. John Vianney High Thursday 10-5.

2 goals for Kaley Nieters in the second half. Angels face either Webster or Nerinx in the finals Wednesday,
There are differences between St. Joe and Ursuline Academy soccer teams. For one, St. Joe does not have to play its freshman goal keeper; Ursuline does. Ursuline freshman keeper Jaime Spath was tested early and often and the Angels peppered the Bear nets for a relatively easy 6-2 district semifinal win. The Angels have a fine freshman themselves in Rosie Breheny, but they start with sophomore Kelsey Ponder who has more experience. The win sets up the Angels (15-2) against Webster Groves, 1-0 winner over Nerinx Hall. The Angels-Webster game will be played on the Angels' home turf Wednesday at 4 o’clock. Hot or cold, sunny or not, the Angels keep on rolling. Six different attackers scored in the home win. Kaley Nieters notched a key second-…

That news comes two weeks after it ranked third among top-ranked Missouri schools by U.S. News & World Report.
Different survey, different results. Two weeks ago, Kirkwood High School ranked third in Missouri in the U.S. News & World Report ranking of the best high schools in the country. Now, Newsweek has a different list, and KHS has a different position in the rankings. Newsweek's its online ranking of the top 2,000 high schools in the country puts Kirkwood as the sixth best in Missouri, with a ranking of 523 among the top 2,000. That ranking keeps Kirkwood out of Newsweek's list of the 25 best in the Midwest—a ranking that put Ladue Horton Watkins at No. 18 and Clayton High at No. 20. Ladue was ranking the No. 1 school in Missouri. Kirkwood High moved up from No. 12 in Missouri in last year's survey, when it was ranked 906 in the country. …
