Week 8 was quite possibly the weirdest week for fantasy football, with star players like D’Andre Swift, Jalen Hurts, Dalvin Cook, and Nick Chubb severely underperforming. Let’s check out the unlikely heroes of Week 8.

The majority of the team ended the season last Wednesday at the Findley Invitational. Both the JV and freshman teams were able to obtain a perfect score in their respective races, making for a great end to the season. The majority of the team ended the season last Wednesday at the Findley Invitational.

At long last, the St. Louis U. High swim team has vanquished their conference, asserting their aquatic superiority once and for all. Every single water warrior earned points for the Jr. Bills last night, leading to a towering victory of 472 over CBC’s second place 233, a 239 point gap as large as the grand canyon. 

When SLUH soccer first took the field two months ago against Marquette, one thing was solidly on their minds: the District final. Now, after commanding wins in their first two District matches, they’re finally there with some pretty significant momentum behind them. Last night’s 5-0 win against Francis Howell North showed the persistence of the Jr. Bills while Saturday’s 13-0 win showed their scoring prowess. Now, the clock is ticking down to their moment of truth. 

St. Louis U High advanced to the Class 6 District 1 semifinals with a dominant 28-0 win over the No. 3 seed Lindbergh Flyers, the first playoff win for the Jr. Billikens during head coach Mike Jones’ five-year tenure.

“Who do you say that I am?”  

Of all the questions Jesus poses in the Gospels, this one might just be the most essential.  When a high school senior takes this question seriously enough to publish his response to it in the school newspaper, I see cause for celebration.  

The senior class’s mandatory first semester theology class titled “Christian Life Choices” had a reading that I felt was problematic. We had to read an excerpt from “Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time” by a New Testament scholar and Episcopalian named Marcus Borg. This excerpt is one of many homework readings that we are quizzed over. But even before I dive into the problems of the reading, it’s important to note the overall reason for this excerpt. This excerpt was supposed to help us explain the Catholic Church’s position of who Jesus is, and his relevance in our life for a project where we hope to explain exactly that. So we read this under the premise of taking the reading to be true. That’s especially dangerous when my classmates passively read, since it can lead to subconsciously absorbing falsehoods about the faith.

Junior Keller Anderson has been taking his talents to the recording room over the past couple of months to work on his new single, “Can’t Help It,” which is now streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, and iTunes, and marks the first official platform wide release for Keller.

Yesterday, the Administration of St. Louis U. High and Assistant Principal for Student Life Brock Kesterson confirmed that they had resolved the mysterious vampire issue haunting the halls of SLUH prior to Halloween. For a full week, the rec room was closed off to students due to the paranormal activity that some had witnessed after school last Monday.

A group of about 40 father-son duos pulled down their masks, put on their yard work pants, and found some old shoes to do some landscaping work this past weekend at St. Louis U. High’s very own Madonna Della Strada Retreat Center.
