Rams role to 18th win of the season with 80-58 pounding of the Cougars.
The crazed Ladue student cheering section knew “it” was coming. They counted “it” down like the launch of a space ship at the Cape in Florida. The “it” was junior point guard Cornell Johnson getting his 1,000 point in a Rams basketball suit. The “it” came with 6:00 left in the game when Johnson drove the middle and tossed in a little floater from 15 feet out. The crowd roared with approval. Coach Chad Anderson called time out and hugged his top scoring performer. But Johnston and Anderson will be glad to tell you Ladue basketball is a team game. “We were glad to get this over. We’re really happy he could get that 1,000th point at home,” said his coach. Actually, Ladue has had 5 or 6 players reached that hallowed 1,000 career point mark. …

Sophomore twin brothers Kohl and Reid Siebert shine in Affton's 68-52 championship game win over St. Pius X.
AFFTON HIGH SCHOOL – One of Mike Fitzgerald’s favorite things to do as coach of the Affton High boys basketball is keep track of his teams’ hustle plays. So after every game, the third-year Affton coach takes a look at which player had the most rebounds, blocked shots, deflections, and dives on the floor for loose balls – all of which are plays that according to Fitzgerald signify how much extra effort his guys are willing to give to help the team win. And as a reward, Fitzgerald will give whichever player had the most hustle plays a special WWE-style championship belt he had made, as a way of recognizing that player as the Cougars’ reigning champion of hustle. “The kids love it,” Fitzgerald said. “Probably the first thing they’ll ask me …

Bronchos layups, Cougars cold shooting prove the difference in 71-48 Bayless win over Affton.
A big, raucous crowd filled the Kuhn Gymnasium Friday night at Affton High School for a huge night of neighborhood rivalry basketball between the boys and girls teams from Bayless and Affton high schools. The Affton girls cruised to a 57-14 win over the Bayless girls in the opener. But the nightcap was the matchup everyone came to see—a true heavyweight showdown between the 5-1 Bayless and 5-2 Affton boys teams. And even though both teams certainly delivered their share of thrills and chills, it was the boys from Bayless that proved superior Friday night, after pulling away from Affton in the third and fourth quarters, for a truly impressive 71-48 victory. “That was a damn good win,” Bayless coach Pat Triplett said. “I always tell them …

Youthful Cougars were 7-18 last season, but hope to get back on winning track, beginning with Tuesday night season opener at Valmeyer (IL).
Affton High School boys basketball coach Mike Fitzgerald can’t wait for his team’s first game of the new season to tip off Tuesday at Valmeyer High School in Illinois. The Cougars suffered through a difficult 2010-11 season, going just 7-18 with a team some thought might make some noise once the district playoffs rolled around. Instead, Affton dropped separate eight-game and five-game losing streaks along the way, before finally ending the year with a first-round district loss against neighborhood rival Lutheran South High Schol. “It was a rough year for sure,” Fitzgerald said, after a recent Cougar preseason practice. “We were undersized. We didn’t have a whole lot of guys with a lot of experience, and teams kind of took advantage of that…
