Big Things Happening at the H-West

Another screen shot of a Post-Dispatch headline is to the left. It'll tell you punks who's the powerhouse in the Suburban North Conference.

THE Hazelwood West High School.

After West beat McCluer 28-14 on Saturday, they got a little pub from The Dis-patch. The funny, but highly depressing part of this article is the tidbit below:

The Wildcats defeated visiting McCluer 28-14 to take sole possession of first place in the Suburban North Conference and improved to 5-0 for what is believed to be the first time in school history.

I'm not sure but I think "what is believed" means we're really bad at keeping records and stats, seeing how the school has only been around since 1975.

I can tell you that West is only good about twice a decade, so it'll be another five or six years before I'm bragging about these guys again. We might as well enjoy the ride while it lasts, right?

The ass-whoopin' tour continues Friday at Howell Central (0-5), then a big showdown vs. DeSmet (4-1), which is being played at SLUH.


(For the record, as a H-West alum, I disapprove of the red and white and fancy stripe jerseys. I think they had those last year, and we damn sure aren't rich enough to have those as alternate jerseys. Without doing research, is that Miami of Ohio that they stole those from? No black = thumbs down Batista.)
