Tonight v. Parkway South

Chaminade will be scrapping with the Parkway South Patriots tonight at Parkway South. The JV game starts at 7:00 PM followed by the Varsity game at about 8:00 PM. We will be short super Sophomore Kevin Glauber tonight as he is making up his Monday absence. As of writing, I am unaware of the status of Junior Jack Meara has he hurt his arm blocking a shot yesterday in practice. We all hope he is okay.

I am more familiar with these Patriots than any team in the area, besides maybe SLUH. I think nearly every South player played for me at Jungle Cats at some point in the last two years. Senior Jake Meyer is their best overall player who has skills on both the defensive and offensive end. What Jake lacks in stature, he makes up for in smarts. Like Ladue's Varwig, Jake travelled with us to California last summer and has a great deal of experience. Junior Patrick Maloney is South's best 2M player and is also their fastest swimmer. Entwistle, Faust and Duncan will again be called upon to shadow Patrick everywhere. In my opinion, Senior goalie Jim Bowers is one of the 5 best in the area, but South's weakness is their reliance on underclassmen that are talented but undersized and inexperienced. Our Red Devils are savvy veterans who can hopefully out-smart and out-work the younger and less aware Patriots. It should be a good one. See you tonight.
