Game Summary:
Francis Howell withstood all of Pattonville’s runs and kept them on top. The freshman #33) Matt Schark had an excellent game. The sophomore #12) Daylan Dalton played great defense and really stopped one of the better point guards in the area in Pattonville’s Destan Williams for most of the gasme. Howell has a good core and they will win more than their share of games.
Pattonville has a lot of pure athletes, I don’t know if they have the killer instinct. They went long periods of the game without scoring. They have #22) Richard Henderson Jr an Austin Peay recruit and a tremendious athlete. Pattonville’s #1) Destan Williams is a great point guard but his size is a problem. Pattonville’s #10) Derrick Boyce III kept the Pirates in the game in the fourth quarter

Game Summary:
Champaign Central really did a great job on Webster Groves #13) Courtney Ramey in the first half. He had only three points and really had a tough time when Central’s #24) Tim Finke was guarding him. Champaign Central has a solid core of three players Finke and #25) Doug Wallen and #23) A’Keon Gill all were double figures and they’re well coached by Jeff Finke. They would be one of the better teams in the St. Louis Metro Area.
Webster Groves had a four point lead after the first quarter but only scored 12 points in the second quarter to be down four at the break. They are small but that will change in January with 6’9″ Cart’e Gordon. #13) Courtney Ramey was held in check in the first half and was more aggressive in the second half to end up with 13 points. He was involved in plaly that a double t was called and he had two fouls in seconds in the third quarter that costs him five minutes in the second half. They hung in tough but lost when it counted. My preseason #1 Team has to do better

1. Vashon 5-0   Nationally ranked and full of Division 1 Players. The best team in the area.

4. Althoff  5-2  They have two losses and there against Edwardsville and State Champion Chicago Curie by one point. They lost a lot but still have Jordan Goodwin.
5. Webster Groves 2-1  It’s not a very big sample, the loss was to Champaign Central by two points. They get Carte’ Gordon in January will make them very tough later in the season. They have Courtney Ramey.
6. East St. Louis  6-2  They were beat Champaign Central by 24 points to start the season, and lost to  State Champion Chicago Curie by ten points at UIC. Belleville East had them on the ropes and couldn’t hit any free throws to let them off the hook. They do have 6’10” Jeremiah Tilmon
7. Belleville West  4-2 . They have two losses one against an average Farmington team to start the season. Then they went on to win the Vianney Invitational and there SWC at The E contest against Edwardsville. They lost a close one against East St. Louis on the road 72-66
