Sporting a furry Russian hat, Wildwood resident Ryan Lederman typified the “gung-ho” attitude and atmosphere at Saturday's Frozen Feet Run, sponsored by the city of Wildwood. Lederman, along with family and friends, served as a support crew member for the “Motley Fagans” of Webster Groves. Despite the chilly temps and a few icy patches, the runners seemed energized by the prospect of a great trail, sunny skies and the camaraderie of fellow runners. A group of runners from the Wildwood Family YMCA running club clustered before the race, stretching and discussing the route. “We run together two times a week,” said organizer Jennifer Hine. Experts espouse that having running buddies, such as the Y group, is a great incentive to keep up with a…

The Lancers played in Florissant Saturday afternoon, but left with a loss and no points on the scoreboard, after McCluer North came very prepared.
The McCluer North football coaching staff worked overtime during the week. That extra film time paid dividends on Saturday afternoon. The Stars' defense stole the show as the Stars stunned previously unbeaten Lafayette High 27-0 in a non-conference affair at McCluer North High. Lafayette, which totaled 80 points in winning its first three games, was helpless against the Stars' aggressive, swarming defense. For most of the game, it appeared as though the North defenders knew exactly what was coming. "The coaches gave us a great game plan," said North senior offensive/defensive tackle Keith Jones. "We listened to them and we executed. We did what they told us to do." Jones led the ganging attack with a pair of quarterback sacks…
