Kirkwood's Maggie Schneider scores every goal as the Pioneers beat Mehlville, 4-0, in the third-place game of the Webster-Kirkwood Classic.
Kirkwood sophomore forward Maggie Schneider sure knows how to throw a Sweet 16 party.

Spring sports are under way at Kirkwood High School. We have a preview of the teams preparing for competition.
Kirkwood's spring sports teams are gearing up for play as the weather warms and practices shift from tryouts to game preparation. Take a look at what's ahead for the Pioneers involved in spring competition: Baseball Rain kept the Kirkwood team off the practice field until last week, and the Pioneers will jump into action this week with a trip to Florida to play squads from around the country. Coach Ken Shaw says the team is no longer on the "young" side, and with seven returning starters, he hopes to improve dramatically on the 8-16 record from 2010. Three players are in the mix for the top starting pitcher position. Junior Ryan Bearden, who won five games last season, will be joined by juniors Connor Jacobs and Griffin Goodrich in vying …
