  • St. Elmo wins EIC Tournament; places fourth in NTC

    The St. Elmo High School softball team came-from-behind to win the Egyptian-Illini Conference Tournament on Saturday.

    Facing a 7-0 deficit after  2 1/2 innings against Mulberry Grove, the Lady Eagles used a two-run home run from senior Brooke Maxey, who was named a co-MVP of the EIC, and back-to-back-to-back RBI hits to score five times in the bottom of the third to change the game's complexion.

    The Lady Aces would again take a lead, however, scoring once in each the fourth and fifth innings to take a 9-5 advantage.

  • Austin, Bell get wins at conference meet

    GREENVILLE – Senior Daniel Bell and junior Quenten Austin both won individual events at the South Central Conference Championships on Tuesday, helping the Vandals place fifth as a team.

    For Austin, getting to the 300-meter hurdles may have been more of a challenge than actually winning the race.

    In the 110-meter hurdles, the runner in the lane next him inadvertently knocked a hurdle into Austin's lane, making him stumble and finish last.

  • Lady Vandals battling through a rough patch

    Already mired in a slump, the Lady Vandals received no favors on Monday when they faced Marquette Catholic and standout left-handed pitcher Alexis Silkwood.

    She did what she does, striking out 14 Lady Vandals during a 7-1 Marquette win, which pushed Vandalia’s losing skid to four games.

    Coach Brian Buscher said Silkwood was easily the best pitcher Vandalia has faced all season, but he was very glad to see his team produce a run.

  • Mahon racking up wins, saves for SEMO in '11

    Seven and closing.

    St. Elmo grad Logan Mahon, a Southeast Missouri State University pitcher, recorded his seventh save as well as his fifth win of the season over the past 10 days.

    With the most recent save, Mahon moved into third on the SEMO list for saves in a single season. In a 5-4 triumph against Murray State, Mahon, who allowed one hit in two innings of work, walked three batters. He is one save away from being tied for second, and only four saves from the all-time record in a season.
