By Laurel Button of Mary Institute St. Louis Country Day School ANYTIME, ANYWHERE Open on a softly lit vignette of two actors: wood bars crisscrossing behind them, bridge just past a sheer frame. Everything about the opening of the show sets the theme; this play, THE LARAMIE PROJECT – performed by students and teachers at Maplewood Richmond Heights High School, is honest, reflective, and gravely serious. THE LARAMIE PROJECT is based on the real life murder of homosexual college student, Matthew Shepard, by two of his peers in the small town of Laramie, Wyoming. The show itself follows a series of true interviews conducted in Laramie, Wyoming by the playwright, Moisés Kaufman, and members of the original cast following Matthew’s murder. The…

Coach Rich Nixon said the team would like to beat MICDS in the first game, but that's not the most important thing.
Maplewood Richmond Heights new head coach Rich Nixon wasn't interested in talking about the Blue Devils' opening game agaisnt MICDS. The first game is Saturday at MICDS at 1:00. The Rams beat the Blue Devils in last year's opener 36-35 at MRH, but Nixon is looking farther downfield than the first game of the season. "The kids are excited to hit somebody else for sure, and you always want to erase those bad memories, there's no doubt about it, but we preach preparation for the end of the season," he said.

The teams went a combined 1-3 last week but look to rebound following a week away from games this week.
It was an entertaining week on the court for the two boys teams. The MRH Blue Devils went 1-2 in the always exciting Webster Classic last weekend, with losses in its first two games against SLUH and Marquette, and a final day win over Oakville. MRH is off this week, and actually doesn’t have any games scheduled until after Christmas. But when the Devils do get back to action, it’ll be quite a doozy, with MRH traveling down to Poplar Bluff to play in the Christmas tournament against a field that’ll include Memphis Hillcrest* – a 2009 Missouri state champion that features No. 1 national football recruit Dorial Green-Beckham. The Brentwood Eagles lost their only game of last week, 63-51 at Ladue, in a contest that was much closer than the …
