The first pitch of the game gave at least one player goosebumps.
The record books will show that Parkway North defeated Kirkwood Tuesday afternoon in a win that clinched a conference championship for the Vikings. While Connor Ladig got credit for the win, the victor for the day may be sportsmanship. Parkway North had Brian Thal, a student manager enrolled in the school's Special Education program, take the mound. As Head Baseball Coach Fred Friedman told Patch Blogger Helga Taylor: A couple of weeks ago, our seniors mentioned they wanted Brian to throw out a first pitch for Senior Day, but we wanted him to have a bigger and better experience. With the gracious support of Coach Shaw and Kirkwood, we were able to arrange for him to actually be the starting pitcher of record, and for Brian's safety, …

Dear school officials, staff: A couple of concerns about the pay increase recently approved: Why was this decided before the county's property valuations were released? Wouldn't it make sense to get a handle on potential revenue before locking into a half-million dollar added expense? Clayton, other districts are waiting until next month. The Kirkwood decision appears reckless and self-indulgent. Why isn't the pay increase on the home page of the district's web site? Personnel, after all, is the district's biggest expense, and this pay hike is a significant increase, also affecting pension expenses. I had to click several times before finding the issue in board minutes. The introduction reported only the new starting salary. Why …
