Sports Roundup: MSHSAA Establishes New Football Districts
And LHSS's Brandon Downey is one of our athletes of the week.
A new playoff format means new district assignments for area football teams. The Missouri High School Activities Association announced the new districts needed for the new playoff format.

This year, there will be as few as six and as many as eight teams in each district. The regular season will now be nine games instead of 10. Lindbergh, Mehlville, Northwest and Oakville will be joined by Eureka, Lafayette, Marquette and Parkway South in District 1.
