MRH director of communications said it has to be right for everyone.
The Maplewood Richmond Heights boys basketball team has not been given the “green light to go independent,” as was stated in STLhighschoolsports.com on Friday. “It’s really not a done deal,” said MRH Director of Communications Brian Adkisson. Members of the South Central Athletic Association met in early March to discuss MRH leaving the conference. “Yes there have been discussions, there will be further discussions,” Adkisson said. “The bottom line is we want to make sure we as a district are making a right decision.” He said it’s how they approach all big decisions within the MRH district. “It's something that affects us all, and we want to make sure,” he said. “These other schools are our colleagues, our friends, our neighbors.

Eyewitnesses at the MRH-Valley Park game said the referee yelled at Frazier, and Frazier had no reply.
Maplewood Richmond Heights boys basketball coach Corey Frazier didn’t witness one of his team’s big wins of the season because he had been ejected the game before. Per MSHSAA rules, he had to miss the following game. The Blue Devils beat Whitfield 47-41 on Saturday, the game where Caleb Greenwalt hit four 3-pointers. It was in a game the day before, against Valley Park, that Frazier was ejected. Why he was ejected seems to be a mystery. In a St. Louis Post Dispatch article, eyewitnesses at the game are quoted as saying the official who ejected Frazier stood over him and yelled at him. Frazier took to Twitter following the game that night. “Never been so miss treated before in my life. Smh... Devil is busy tonight. Thank God I'm a Christian…

Head basketball coach Corey Frazier played for Saint Louis University coach Charlie Spoonhour, who died on Wednesday.
Corey Frazier, head basketball coach at Maplewood Richmond Heights, fondly remembers playing under the direction of Coach Charlie Spoonhour at Saint Louis University. Frazier played for Spoonhour when the Billikens reached the NCAA Tournament in the 1990s. He spoke to BillikenReport.com about his former coach, who died on Wednesday: "He was real big on being disciplined and making sure we knew what life was about," Frazier said. "Not letting this basketball thing be the only thing. It's also the academic thing, and socially. He even made us take etiquette classes and stuff of that nature. He really cared about us as individuals and us as being productive citizens." See more quotes and the full story on the BillikenReport.com.
