Week in Sports
Cor Jesu, Lutheran South Win District Tennis Titles
Here's a recap of South County schools and their sports this week.
Seckman freshman Maddy Strickland started the season on the Jaguar junior varsity softball team. But the first baseman was brought up to the varsity and found herself in the most crucial of situations Thursday in the Class 4 District 2 semifinals against Lindbergh. The Jaguars had come back from a 5-3 deficit in the bottom of the seventh inning to tie the game on a two-run single by Alison Szydlowski. The bases were loaded with one out when Strickland stepped to the plate. She lined a single up the middle for a walk-off winner. "I was never even expecting to be on the varsity this year," said Strickland, who is the female South area Patch player of the week. "I was so nervous when I came up but I was able to line the ball right past the …

Driving Range Is a St. Louis Tradition
Tower Tee offers a place for rookies and veterans to enjoy the game of golf.
Steve Lotz has, in his own words, been around golf most of his life. He grew up with the game, helping out around his dad’s driving range, Tower Tee, when he was a kid. That experience fostered a love of the game that has lasted his whole life. He’s played as a pro and managed golf properties in Florida, but in 2002, he returned to where it all started and took over the family business. Tower Tee is a kind of tradition in St. Louis, Lotz said. The business dates back to 1963 when Lotz’s grandfather, Roy Lotz, transformed an old brick yard into a driving range, miniature golf course and expansive putting green. In the 1970s the business expanded its par 3 course to 18 holes and, in 2005, extended its driving range from 275 yards to 390 …

Lindbergh Poised For League Showdown in Baseball
Lindbergh and Parkway South are battling for the top spot in the Suburban West baseball race.
Our weekly look at the latest news and notes from the Suburban West Conference: The wacky world of the Suburban West Conference in baseball this spring was shown last week in four games played by Lindbergh. The Flyers seemed to play themselves out of the conference race with losses on Tuesday and Wednesday to Northwest, which entered the series with a 1-8 mark.

Blind Affton High Golfer Honored
Daniel Crum received an award for his tenacity, presented by Mike Bush.
For twelve years the Saint Louis Sports Commission has been honoring athletes, coaches, and teams who exemplify the best in sportsmanship throughout the year. This year the awards, held at the Edward Jones Auditorium, honored sixteen individuals from across the United States who went above and beyond as athletes to do the right thing. Representing the Saint Louis region was legally blind Affton High School sophomore Daniel Crum, who plays on the school golf team. In spite of brain tumors on his optic nerve that left him partially blind as a child, Crum has always wanted to be involved in sports. “I try not to focus on my disability,” said Crum. “Instead I just focus on my golf.” After a story about Crum initially ran on Patch in January, …

Remarkable Resident
Legally Blind Affton Sophomore Brings Spirit and Enthusiasm to Golf Team
Daniel Crum enjoys all sports, despite his impaired vision.
Affton High School sophomore Daniel Crum can’t wait for golf season. Crum, 15, is the first legally blind person ever to play on the Affton golf team. In fact, according to the Missouri State High School Activities Association, he is the only legally blind high school golfer in the state. "I like golf because it’s something I can play, even with my disability,” said Crum, who also likes whiffle ball, flag football and basketball. When Daniel was 2 years old, doctors discovered a brain tumor on his optic nerve. He had chemotherapy twice, but parts of the tumor remain, requiring annual MRIs. He is able to get some visual correction with glasses, and he has made his own adjustments to be able to play sports. “He can’t see out of his left eye…
