Mustangs couldn't get the offense going in loss.
The Lafayette Lancers needed a big win on Friday night to clinch a berth in the MSHSAA Class 6 state football playoffs, and they got it, with a 41-7 win over the Marquette Mustangs at Marquette Stadium. The victory gave Lafayette its first Suburban West Conference championship since 2008, with an 8-0 record in league games this season. The Lancers jumped on Marquette quickly, scoring three touchdowns in the first 12 minutes to leave little doubt about what Friday’s outcome would be. Marquette finished the year with a 3-7 record. Unfortunately for Marquette, its offense was going south on Thursday, and couldn’t seem to put together enough good plays to sustain any of its early drives. In fact, Marquette quarterback Daniel Slattery, who …

Marquette earned a trip to the Class 6 sectionals in 2010. But, they now lack experience.
The Marquette Mustangs sneaked up on area football teams last year. The Mustangs raced to the school’s first-ever Suburban West championship last fall with an 8-3 record that few observers expected. Marquette, which shared the Suburban West title in 2010 with Lindbergh and Eureka, will not be able to sneak up on teams this year. The Mustangs are 1-0 after winning its season-opening game at home over Windsor, 30-8. Marquette features a junior-laden roster that has little experience, so they will have their work cut out for them in seeking a return trip to the Class 6 playoffs. “It is a young group with a lot of sophomores and juniors, but we really like these kids,” Marquette coach Ryan Thornhill said. Thornhill, who enters his fifth season…

Both nearby Lafayette and Eureka have five players on the team.
Lafayette and Eureka high schools finished in the middle of the pack of the highly competitive Suburban West Conference this spring. But the Rockwood schools were both well-recognized on the all-conference team with five first-team selections each on the 24-player squad.

Drue Bravo, Ryan Mansfield, Drew Gress and Khalfani Mar'Na were the other Lancers …

Patch takes a look at the latest news and notes from the Suburban West.
Baseball There was a lot of talk in the preseason among Suburban West Conference baseball coaches on what kind of record it would take to win the league in 2011, especially with the new format which includes back-to-back games against all eight teams in the conference. "I thought maybe a 10-6 record might win it," Lindbergh High School coach Darin Scott said. Parkway South High School coach Adam Stahl concurred. "I thought five or six losses might win it," Stahl said. "I never expected it to go the way it did with the caliber of teams in this conference, which I think is the toughest in the entire state of Missouri." Parkway South got off to a great start in the league, and overall, and defended its title with a pair of wins last week …
