Hancock Tigers Spoil Lift for Life Hawk’s Senior Night | MetroSTL.com | The NorthSider | The SouthSider | The Jaco Report

Senior night was the only celebration that Lift for Life Academy saw Wednesday night. The first senior night for the Hawks in their newly-constructed gym would not be one of their fondest high school memories. Coach Terrence Hobson was visibly upset at the conclusion of the game with the effort the Southside Hawks exhibited on Thursday. “We have to shoot the ball better than that to win games” Hobson told The SouthSider. Both teams entered the match up with similar records, Lift for life b

The now 15-7 Cardinal Ritter College Prep Lions squared off against the 7-13 St. Dominic Crusaders for an Archdiocesan Athletic Association (AAA) match up Tuesday night in St. Louis. The game featured stand out performances from 6 ft sophomore Mario Fleming, currently leading the team with 13.4 ppg and junior guard Glenn Valentin who was 4-5 from outside the arc.

Ritter comes from behind to beat St. Mary’s | MetroSTL.com | The NorthSider | The SouthSider | The Jaco Report

“Resilient” is how Cardinal Ritter coach Ryan Johnson describes his crew these last few weeks. For the second game in a row the Lions found themselves down at half. The 16-7 Cardinal Ritter Lions displayed what it means to grind for a win. Led by Mario Fleming’s 22 points, 8 rebounds, the Lions nudged past the 11-12 Dragons of St. Mary’s. SLU fans saw flashes of why the Billikens are thrilled to have St. Mary’s point guard Yuri Collins staying close to home. Collins’ speedy transition game ke

Vashon’s late push tops Titans | MetroSTL.com | The NorthSider | The SouthSider | The Jaco Report

The sold out show on Cass Ave was well worth admission. We saw fans rush the court….twice. Neither team held a lead for longer than a possession in the 4th. So when Trinity’s guard, Rasheed Weekly, sunk a run and gun 3 to put the Titans up by 1 with 4.0 seconds left, their fans and bench burst into celebration. The Vashon Wolverines would need a miracle shot. Instead, they settled for a foul. Weekly’s heroism quickly depreciated when Vashon’s Phillip Russel drew a call and was gifted two fr

MIDTOWN – The old saying is “home is where you make it,” and for some St. Louis residents, that home can be had for only $1 — well, $403 actually. The Land Reutilization Authority (LRA) partnered with 21st Ward Alderman John Collins-Muhammad last week to roll out a new initiative that is aimed at driving families back into the area by promising the deed to vacant homes for only $1. Additional fees associated with obtaining a home through the program are required though. Fees for things such as

Candidates agree on the need to address Delmar Divide | MetroSTL.com | The NorthSider | The SouthSider | The Jaco Report

WYDOWN SKINKER—The infamous “Delmar Divide” is no new topic to St. Louis residents, and it’s a stark representation of the inequities in St. Louis. Decades of policies at the state and local level have created what feels like a clean break through the center of the city. Last week, three of the candidates running for President of the Board of Aldermen gathered in a studio for a live-streamed event and expressed hopes and aspirations of a near future where the city’s divide is history and north
