Howie Keene scores 23 points as Woodlands (Texas) defeats @kahokmenshoops 60-57 in the quarterfinals of the @ClassicTorny. Keene helped defeat his dad's high school team. Richard and other Keene family members were in the stands. #618hoops

Feels strange being at the @ClassicTorny and not working. Not sure I like it. But it's good to see the people and the competition. #618hoops

It's time for a leadership change at the top and a rebuild. This is pathetic baseball being played by the Cardinals. Embarrassing stuff for such a proud organization. #STLvsMIL

Heartbreak Hotel for @BasketballTriad as it loses 46-45 to Decatur MacArthur in the fifth-place game of the @ClassicTorny. Last-second shot denies Triad its first trophy at Collinsville. #618hoops

It's going to be a @QHSBASKETBALL vs. @kahokmenshoops championship game Friday in the @ClassicTorny. This seems to be what most people wanted. It should be an unbelievable game between two of the most successful programs in the country. #618hoops

Only two of the #618football teams advance in the playoffs: East St. Louis and Roxana. Edwardsville, Central, Mater Dei, Highland, Nashville and Althoff were defeated. All #618football teams were on the road. Tough assignments this deep in the postseason.

I know my former co-workers have been asked: What do you miss most about covering sports, especially at the prep level? For me, it's the people. There are so many great folks out there that I got to know well. Talking to them and the athletes was always a pleasure. It's a void.

Adam Wainwright has been the gold standard in St. Louis for so many years. I was fortunate to cover him for a few seasons. What a class act and it's great to see him enjoy a day like this. #STLCards

I'll be in O'Town tonight as @OFallonFootball plays host to Edwardsville @TigerFootball_ in a Southwestern Conference rivalry game. Always a barn-burner. Edwardsville is 3-0, O'Fallon is 2-1. @PrepSportsSTL @otownathletics @Edwardsville618 #618football
