STE. GENEVIEVE -- Valle Catholic High School sent its track athletes off to Jefferson City with some hoopla!

Their classmates, parents, and friends (PreK-12) met at the Valle Desert to wish the teams well before boarding their bus.

Father Greg Klump led the group in prayer and Valle pre-schoolers and fifth Graders led the Valle school song.

The team is headed to the MSHSAA Track Championships to be held at Lincoln University in Jefferson City today and tomorrow.

Warriors qualified 15 athletes in 15 events and the Lady Warriors qualified 14 athletes in nine events for the state meet.

The track team is coached by Jake Martin, Jay Pope, and Samer Zoughaib.

CHAFFEE --It was a great day to be a Warrior.

An even better day to be Alex Rollhaus.

What did he do? Well, the Valle senior only struck out 12 (striking out the side twice), and scattered 5 hits and two runs in a 5-2 Warrior win over an already-improving Jefferson team Wednesday.

Oh, and he knocked in three runs with a double and a triple, helping his team to their seventh district crown in the last eight years, and their sixth consecutive 20-plus win season.

Justin Roth and Tyler Litterest were both two for three on the day, and Alec Greminger shined at shortstop, making not one, but two plays deep in the hole from the backhand side.

Great day to be a Warrior, indeed.

Rollhaus was soft-spoken, but joyful when he talked to me after the game.

"It's just a great day, especially when we get the win," he said. "I have such a great team behind me, and it's nice on the mound to know that when they hit it on the ground, it's just gonna get sucked up (by Greminger). Just a great glove."

Valle assistant Junie Basler was a bit more emphatic.

"He (Rollhaus) showed what senior leadership is all about. He came out a battled as well as I've seen him battle all year. That's what ALL our seniors are about. They go out and give everything they've got."

Basler said Jefferson was strong, despite completing just their third year of being a high school.

"I tip my cap to Jefferson. That is a GOOD ball club over there. Very scrappy, and very well coached. And, they don't even have a senior class yet! They are going to be a team to be reckoned with in the future."

Head coach Judd Naeger was a happy man at the end.

"He (Rollhaus) had a great day, you know...he's developed into such a wonderful baseball player, and he's made himself into a wonderful competitor. No stage is too big, no pitch is too big, no at-bat is too big. At the plate, he's just been ripping the ball lately in the cage and during games. Everybody is just continuing to get better, and it's nice to have Alex out there, because you know he's gonna give you everything he's got and meet the challenge."

Naeger loved the play of his shortstop and catcher.

"He (Greminger) had some really big plays early on that set the tone, and Lincoln (Stoll) made a really good throw for a caught stealing early that was huge. Sometimes we didn't make the first play, but we always seemed to make the next one. That's huge in high school baseball; not to compound errors. If you can leave the past where it is and just make that next play, it's always big. Our kids were able to do that today."

He also said the road to the district championship was not easy, by any means.

"We really had to come out and win these last two games. Kelly threw one of the best arms in the area at us, and and R-7 (Jefferson) is a VERY good club, and they've played everybody close all year. They were kind of like us in the way that they've continued to get better all season. That's just part of the reason why I'm so happy for our kids. They've defied everybody elses expectations, got our sixth straight 20-win season, and another district championship. I don't know the numbers, but I can't think of another program in the state that's been able to get 20 for six straight years. It's just been a great year so far because these kids just show up every day ready to work."

Naeger sees a marked improvement in his team from the start of the season to now.

"They've really been able to take instruction well. I think we've grown as human beings throughout the season, and we've become mentally and physically tough. We didn't really have that toughness at the beginning. Now, watching our kids play, you can count on us for that toughness every single day."

Crystal City is up next for the Warriors, and Naeger knows and respects the history of what has turned into quite a rivalry.

"It's been going on for a while now. Not only the games themselves, but what happens AFTER that game is played. After that game, historically, whoever has won has gone on to do some nice things at state. We had a good idea, if we got to this point, that we would probably get them. I'm sure that they, probably, had us in the back of their minds as well. We have to show up and play ball. We have to understand how good of a kid we're gonna see on the mound. We have to understand what we can do at the plate to maximize our chances to get on base. We'll have to be tough AND smart; understanding that he WILL get us out, drop the memory of that at-bat, and go out for that new at-bat with a fresh attitude. We will just have to work very hard."

Valle is now 20-4 on the season. Their Monday match-up with the Hornets will be on KSGM and ksgm980.com.

CAPE GIRARDEAU -- Ste. Genevieve couldn't overcome a four-run first inning, and lost to Kennett 5-1 in the Class 3 District 1 semifinal Monday.

Two walks and two errors with two outs led to the four run outburst, which was unfortunate for Dragon starter Bryn Huck. He would eventually settle in and retire 14 of the last 15 batters after a second inning run on a sac fly. He struck out four and allowed just three hits.

Kennett starter Dan Lockhart only allowed two hits, but that didn't mean the Dragons didn't have their chances. Lockhart walked five and threw two wild pitches, and his catcher allowed four passed balls. The Dragons couldn't capitalize, though, stranding nine runners on base.

Dragon head coach Mike McDaniel said later that his starting pitcher kept his wits about him to finish strong.

"That’s baseball. That (the first inning situation) happens. After that, he settled down, made quality pitches, and we made plays behind him. I'm proud of the performance he gave, and I'm proud of all the guys for not giving up; taking quality at bats and making plays."

Al Gunter played an excellent right field for the Dragons, something that wasn't lost on McDaniel. He said Gunter played a little infield, too.

"I think we've got guys that are interchangeable, and Al is one of those guys. Al didn't play a lot of infield during the year, but we tried to get him extra repetitions. He got the chance, proved himself, and we were able to keep him and guys like him in the lineup for their bats."

McDaniel spoke to his team in left field after the contest, and had plenty to say, starting with his three seniors.

"If you saw the way Derek, Dustin and Tyler looked as freshmen, and looked at them now; their bodies, mental approach, they're totally different players and people now. They have done a ton of hard work to get to where they are now. They will always be welcome at the ball park. As for the rest of the squad, the thing we want them to work on is to have a very 'go-getter' attitude. We didn't have that attitude this year, to want to do damage in a game right away. That's with anything in life. If you really want it, it won't come to you. You have to go get it."

The Dragons finish their season with a record of 13-10. Kennett (22-3) now moves on to play host Notre Dame in the Wednesday championship game.

Meanwhile, in Chaffee, it was the Tyler Litterest show.

The Valle junior no-hit Kelly for six innings and struck out 14 as the Warriors won by a count of 5-1 in their Class 2 District 3 semifinal.

Ian Householder and Matt Proctor broke up the no-no with consecutive singles in the 7th inning, but Kelly could only score one run, on a wild pitch.

Justin Roth was three for four on the day, and scrappy shortstop Alec Greminger had an inside the park home run for the Warriors, who are now 19-4 on the year. The Warriors totaled nine hits on the day. Kelly didn't help themselves in the field, committing five errors.

Valle will take on Jefferson Wednesday at 4:15 for the district finale.

Valle assistant coach Junie Basler said Alex Rollhaus will get the call to start against Jefferson.

Jefferson upset number one seed Chaffee by a single run to advance. CJ Layton will have the call on KSGM and ksgm980.com.

ST. LOUIS – The St. Louis Blues have been purchased by an all-local group led by Tom Stillman, previously a minority owner of the club. The new ownership group includes several prominent business and civic leaders.

"We are honored and humbled to take ownership of the St. Louis Blues," said Stillman. "Our new ownership group is 100 percent local, and we are 100 percent committed to the Blues and to St. Louis. We see the Blues as an important civic institution, and we know what the Blue Note means to this city and to the best fans in the NHL."

NHL Commissioner Gary B. Bettman, attending today’s announcement, said "We are extremely pleased to welcome Tom and his group, who are so devoted to the Blues and to the community. Success on the ice, an outstanding home arena, tremendous fan support and Tom's passionate commitment all point toward an extremely positive future for the franchise."

The purchase, which closed yesterday (May 9), also includes the Scottrade Center lease, the Peoria Rivermen franchise (the Blues’ American Hockey League affiliate) and a substantial interest in the Peabody Opera House.

"We are fortunate to be taking over one of the best teams in the NHL, with a strong, mostly young nucleus and a very bright future," said Stillman. "Our top priority will be to put a serious contender on the ice year in and year out and to establish the Blues as an elite NHL franchise."

The Blues just completed the 2011-12 season, in which they compiled 109 points (tied for second in the league), advanced to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, and set a number of franchise records.

"We plan to put the franchise on solid financial footing and to make the Blues stable and sustainable, right here in St. Louis, for generations to come," said Stillman. "To accomplish that, we will need the support of Blues fans, local businesses large and small, and the rest of the St. Louis community."

The members of the new Blues ownership group are as follows:

•Thomas H. Stillman - Chairman & CEO, Summit Distributing

•Jerald L. Kent - Chairman & CEO, Suddenlink Communications, CEO, Cequel III

•Donn S. Lux - Chairman & CEO, Luxco

STE. GENEVIEVE -- The St. Vincent Indians couldn't overcome a six-run Valle first inning, and Valle rolled to a 10-0, five-inning win at Alumni Field Tuesday.

Senior leadoff man Alec Greminger finished 2-for-2 while reaching base four straight times, and Valle Catholic was given five shutout innings from Sophomore Justin Roth. The number-three man in the rotation struck out six, five of those looking, and gave up just two Indian hits.

Valle is now 18-6 on the year, while St. Vincent fell to 8-13.

These two teams will face each other in the first round of district play Saturday in Chaffee.

Valle assistant Junie Basler said with the second season around the corner, pitching will rule the roost.

"Tyler Litterest and Alex Rollhaus, they've been doing it all year long. Come district time, it's time for them to just say, 'hey, give me the ball, let me go do my thing, get me three or four runs, and I'll keep you in the game.' I think if they do that, I like our shot."

Alec Greminger, Tom Hermann and Rollhaus were honored on Senior Day as well. Head coach Judd Naeger spoke fondly of his seniors.

"They've been great for four years, showing up for work every day, never giving me any problems. They MADE themselves into ball players, and turned themselves into wonderful competitors. And, they don't shy away from pressure situations. They play their best when it's a big game, and, as a coach, that's all you can ask out of seniors."

SIKESTON -- Perryville downed Ste. Genevieve 74-59 in the district tournament at Sikeston.

Dragon coach Rob Coleman said this game, and the season, has been one of some missed opportunities. "I was looking at numbers on the way down here, and our points for-against differential is only about five or so. there were six, seven games that could have turned our whole season around."

The Dragons will lose Jonathan Brewer, Wayne Carron, and Brendan Weiler to graduation.

Pirate coach Joel Roth says that his team may have underestimated an improving Dragon team.

The score was even at 16 after the first quarter, Perryville led 36-25 at the half and the Pirates had a 57-38 lead after three.

COLUMBIA- At its April Board Meeting, the Missouri State High School Activities Association Board of Directors unanimously voted for a new football playoff format for the 2012 football season.

The new format will create a nine-game regular season with schools scheduling all nine of these games. The 10th week will be the beginning of the District Championships. Teams will be placed into districts comprised of eight teams and seeded by a point system over the nine-game regular season. The third game of the championship series would be the district championship game, eight district champions and eight district runner-ups being crowned.

The district champions would then advance to the quarterfinals of the state series. There shall be two districts in 8-Man, four districts in Class 6, and eight districts each in Classes 1-5. Schools are grouped in districts based on geographical location. Classes 1-4 and Class 6 will consist of eight teams. Class 5 and 8-man will be based on the number of teams in the region and the higher-seeded teams (1-2) will get byes in the district tournament if necessary.

This format would more closely resemble the district championships in all of our other team sports. If the current start date is kept in place, the playoff games will still follow the Wednesday-Monday-Saturday format.

Another unique nuance to this format is the financial split of the Week 10 game. Because each school will only have the ability to schedule games one through nine, its schedule may be five home and four away games or four home and five away games. In Week 10 the higher seed will host the game (#1 seed would host #8 seed, #2 seed would host #7 seed, etc.). To make Week 10 financially equitable to all schools, the gate receipts (minus expenses) will be split 60/40, with the host team receiving 60% of the gate and the visiting team receiving 40% of the gate.

The classification process will remain the same, with the largest 32 schools based on enrollment figures will be in Class 6. Class 1 will consist of the smallest 64 schools, the next 64 schools will make up Class 2, the next 64 will make up Class 3 and the next 64 will make up Class 4. The remaining schools will comprise Class 5, which were 51 during the 2010 season.
