Senior running back/linebacker Tyler Walker scored four times and nabbed a last-second interception to thwart U. City's final comeback attempt.
CLAYTON — In the end, Clayton just had too much Tyler Walker. Although the senior running back/linebacker stands just 5'7, and weighs 160 pounds soaking wet, he proved too much to handle Monday night at Centene Stadium, as University City valiantly fought, but couldn't get past the Greyhounds, in a 27-20 Class 4 District 5 championship game loss. Clayton, which is now 9-3 on the year, advances to play Jefferson City Helias in the state quarterfinals on Saturday. Helias pounded Hannibal (MO) on Monday, and will be the host team when it meets the Greyhounds at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. U. City finished its year with a 6-6 record, but will go into the offseason lamenting its missed chances against Clayton on Monday. The Lions were stopped on a …

Lions' last-second rally falls short, as Clayton claims second district title in last three years.
CLAYTON -- After missing an extra-point that could've tied Monday's Class 4 District 5 championship game at Clayton's Centene Stadium, the University City football team got the ball back with about two minutes left and no timeouts, with a chance to win the game. Unfortunately, the Lions weren't able to move the ball into scoring position, as Clayton's Tyler Walker intercepted U. City quarterback George Brown's final pass and returned it 65 yards for a touchdown, to clinch a 27-20 victory for the Greyhounds. Walker, who also had three touchdown runs for Clayton, scored four times for the second straight game, as the Greyhounds won their second district football title in the last three years. U. City ends its year with a 6-6 record. Please …

Lions enjoyed early 4-0 lead, but couldn't hang on in 7-6 10-inning loss to Huskies.
OVERLAND — It was a day of good and bad for the University City High boys baseball team. The Lions played a dynamite first few innings, and enjoyed a 4-0 lead Saturday morning, in their MSHSAA Class 4 District 5 playoff opener against host Ritenour High School. Unfortunately though, the bad was U. City couldn't hold onto that lead, nor could it maintain the 6-5 edge it had going into the final inning of regulation play, before eventually losing their first round playoff matchup to the Huskies, 7-6, in 10 innings. "It's disappointing," U. City baseball coach Rick Seim said. "We had our chances to win this game, and we just didn't capitalize. I thought we played a pretty good game against a pretty good team, we just didn't close it out when…

Lions will begin district tournament with Saturday matchup against Ritenour, would face top-seed SLUH in semifinals on Monday.
The state high school baseball playoffs will kick up to full throttle this weekend, with games at locales all over the state. Some districts began play on Thursday, while some others will start up beginning Friday afternoon.

City at Ritenour showdown Saturday morning, could be the most intriguing matchup of the day, with the always dangerous Lions taking on the injury-striken Huskies.

Misplays in final minutes too much to overcome as Lions lose 70-65 to visiting Falcons.
UNIVERSITY CITY HIGH SCHOOL – The best way to characterize Friday night’s critical Suburban South Conference boys basketball game at the Ed Crenshaw Gymnasium between visiting Rockwood Summit and homestanding University City, might be to call it a tale of three ballgames. First, there was the opening quarter, when Summit dominated the action and nearly ran U. City off the floor. Then there was the second quarter, when U. City was so good on offense and defense that Summit could barely get a shot off, let alone score. And then there was the fourth quarter, when despite the previous huge swings in momentum, both clubs played sensational basketball and took turns putting themselves in position to win. Unfortunately for the home team, it was …

U. City basketball program honored legendary coach Ed Crenshaw and star player Hasan Houston by naming the school gym and basketball court after them, in ceremony before Friday’s game against rival Webster Groves.
UNIVERSITY CITY HIGH SCHOOL – Ever since the schedule came out last summer, folks in and around the University City boys basketball program have had Friday, Jan. 20, 2012, highlighted as one of the biggest nights ever in U. City hoops history. Not only was Friday a big night for the Lions because they would be hosting longtime Suburban South Conference bully Webster Groves, which has won 10 straight league titles, hasn’t lost a Suburban South game since 2002, and boasts a 74-game conference winning streak. But it was also the night that U. City would finally get to honor two of its greatest program legends ever, by naming the school gym after legendary head coach Ed Crenshaw, and by dedicating the actual basketball court to 70s basketball …
