The Maplewood Richmond Heights Blue Devils were down by 17 points but battled back and barely fell short of the win.
Strong efforts from Antonia Lee and Cassandra Goodson weren't enough for Maplewood Richmond Heights girls basketball team on Tuesday night. The young Blue Devils fell to a more experienced St. Elizabeth Academy team in the first round of the Class 3, District 5 tournament, 65-58. MRH (6-18) was down by as much 17 points in the first half, but a second-half resurgence, led by Lee, sparked a comeback to bring the game within two points late in the fourth quarter. The late rally wasn't enough to overcome a persistent and balanced St. Elizabeth (16-10) offense that featured four double-digit scorers, led by senior Jalissa Watt's 18 points. Lee's 28 points and six three-pointers led the MRH offense. The junior point guard played every minute of…

Maplewood Richmond Heights beats Lift For Life Academy on Monday in the first round of the Class 3, District 5 Tournament, 84-30.
Senior Tony King fueled the Maplewood Richmond Heights boys basketball team's offensive charge, but it was the Blue Devils' stingy defense that controlled the game Monday night. A young Lift For Life Academy team—comprised only of freshmen and sophomores—continually turned the ball over against MRH's full-court press. The frustration was obvious, and the amount of traveling calls on the youthful Hawks in the first half was astounding. "We executed defensively," coach Corey Frazier said. "The kids are playing for something right now." King led the team with 29 points, scoring more in the first half than the entire Life For Life team (23 to 22). Frazier said King sets the tone for the team. "If he's going to be aggressive, then we're going …
