The Clayton team lost nine seniors to graduation last year.
Although the Clayton Greyhounds baseball team lost nine seniors to graduation last year, coach Craig Sucher and his team don’t like to use the term "rebuild." “It looks like a rebuilding year,” Sucher said. “But the kids that are here don’t look as if they’re rebuilding. There out there every day competing for spots.” The Greyhounds compiled a 16-10 record last year. Sucher expects Trevor Mills to be the No. 1 pitcher, but juniors Sam Fox and Noah Eby are pushing Mills for that spot. Jeremy Phillips, a junior, and freshman Auggie Mense might also see action on the mound. Sucher refers his pitching staff as “location pitchers.” “They pitch to contact,” he said. “And they’re very disciplined in what we’re trying to do.” Freddie Barnes, a …

The Lady Greyhounds have been improving after a rough start to the 2010-11 season.
The Clayton Lady Greyhounds basketball team started the Affton Girls Varsity Basketball Tournament on a high note Jan. 22. with a 54-17 first-round victory over the Windsor Lady Owls.

Ahmad Smith proved key to the Clayton team's win.
Senior guard Ahmad Smith provided the Clayton Greyhounds basketball team with a late bounce in its 73-68 non-conference win Jan. 19 over the Pattonville Pirates at Clayton High School. Smith scored eight of the Greyhounds' 12 points in the last three minutes of the game. Clayton coach Ryan Luhning said Smith “showed how he was capable of playing.” “We needed him to come up big late, and he did,” Luhning said.

Jeremiah Wilkins’ trey at the 6:45 mark in the fourth quarter made the score 53-52 Pattonville. The Pirates controlled the lead for the next few …

" Clayton's defense created scoring opportunities in the last half of the game. SLUH committed seven turnovers in the second half. The Greyhounds led 33-26 at halftime and 51-44 at the end of …

As a result, the Clayton boys basketball team will play for third place Dec. 30 in the MICDS Holiday Tournament
Two free throws from Clyde C. Miller Career Academy's Dorian Dean with just a second left on the clock sealed the Clayton Greyhounds' fate Dec. 29 in the MICDS Holiday Tournament.

Big shots boosted the Greyhounds over the Rams, 82-72.
Clutch shooting made the difference for the Clayton Greyhounds boys basketball team in its Dec. 28 game against the MICDS Rams in the MICDS Holiday Invitational Basketball Tournament. The No. 1 seeded Greyhounds improved to 10-1 with the 82-72 win. "It seemed like we hit some big shots," Clayton coach Ryan Luhning said. "They are a very good team and their point guard (Rashad) Lindsey is a really good player. He did some damage for them tonight. Whenever they got at the five or the six, (Clayton) Buchanan would hit a three from the corner or Ahmad (Smith) would get to the lane and he would miss the first one, chase down his rebound and put one in. It was neat to see some guys beside Christian Thomas step up and make plays for us." Smith …

Henry, Bradley both earn 2nd Place Medals
Although the Clayton Greyhounds wrestling team managed only an eighth-place finish in the 10-team Brentwood Invitational Wrestling Tournament on Dec. 18, both Jordan Henry and Joe Bradley made the most of the opportunities that the ultra-competitive tournament provided. Henry, who wrestled in the 145-pound weight class, and Bradley (171) each earned a second-place medal. Bradley faced off against Notre Dame's Trevor Fultz in the championship round. Fultz won the match on points. Bradley finished the tournament with a 3-1 record. "I could have worked better for takedowns," Bradley said. "I've been missing some practices due to my knee (injury), and I need to work on some conditioning, too." Bradley said the second-place finish represents …
