The plaques acknowledge donors who funded renovations of the field and track in the early 2000s.
At about 3 a.m. Thursday, surveillance cameras captured a white pickup truck pulling up to the two pillars at the east end of the Maplewood Richmond Heights football field. That's when a perpetrator got out of the truck and removed two bronze plaques from the two pillars, the Maplewood Police Department said. One was attached with bolts to the brick pillar, and the other covered an opening once used for selling tickets. “We can only speculate,” said Brian Adkisson, MRH director of communications. “Our video cameras showed a truck pulling up and stopping right in front, and that’s really all we have because they were on the back side of these pillars and so you really can’t see people.” He assumes the plaques were taken to be sold as scrap …

The man who last spent time with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. before his assassination spoke to students in the Maplewood Richmond Heights School District on Thursday.
After his visit to Maplewood Richmond Heights High School on Thursday, civil rights leader Rev. Billy Kyles said he liked what he saw in the district. “You cannot come to this school and interact with people and walk through it, without feeling a real sense of togetherness,” he said. “It’s a joy for me to be here with them.” Kyles, 77, already knew MRH assistant principal Michael Maclin from Maclin’s trips to the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis. He had also heard Kyles preach in Monumental Baptist Church, where he’s been a pastor for 52 years. Maclin thought the MRH students should meet him too, and invited the minister to come to Maplewood. Kyles spent the day in the district. In the morning he spoke to the middle school and high …

Senior Antonia Lee had 14 points and was named to the all-tournament team, but it wasn’t enough to overcome a rough start for MRH in what became a 58-43 loss to Cardinal Ritter.
ST. LOUIS – The Maplewood Richmond Heights girls basketball team’s magnificent run through the Cardinal Ritter Christmas Tournament ended in not so exhilarating fashion Wednesday night, as the Blue Devils lost the championship game 58-43, to the tournament host Cardinal Ritter. MRH, which is now 5-4 on the season, nabbed two of its best wins of the season on Monday and Tuesday to reach the championship game, but couldn’t overcome a rough start against red-hot Ritter, which has now won four in a row. “I definitely think it was nerves,” MRH head coach Phil Crawford said. “This was our first championship game, and the girls were a little bit nervous.” And that was clearly a problem in the early going for MRH, which had a number of bad …

Devils went 16-12 last season, before being knocked out of playoffs in district championship game.
With their eyes set firmly on their December 1 season opener in Jonesboro, AR, the Maplewood Richmond Heights boys basketball team has been hard at work prepping for the 2011-2012 hoops season. Every day after school, and some days before school, the Blue Devils meet up with head coach Corey Frazier and an array of assistants, for some of the most intense preseason workouts of any team in the area. “Yeah, we definitely put them to work,” said Frazier during a recent MRH workout. “But that’s what I love about this team. I don’t get any complaints. No frowns. No whining. No crying. These kids just work.” And it’s through that work that Frazier and the Blue Devils hope to add another state championship banner beside the ones from 2008 and …

The Maplewood Richmond Heights football team finished off the 2011 regular season and clinched the MSHSAA Class 2 District 4 championship in grand style Thursday night, with a whopping 75-6 win over the Lift for Life Academy of St. Louis. The Blue Devils, who are now 8-2 this season and remain the highest-ranked St. Louis-area team in Class 2 at No. 7 in the state, earned themselves a berth in the state playoffs, which begin on Wednesday, November 2, and the right to host that game, which will be against the runner-up team from District 3.

The Maplewood Richmond Heights and Brentwood football teams find themselves in similar boats heading into the final week of the regular season this week.

Maplewood Richmond Heights starts season at number one in preseason polls and hosts number two MICDS.
A year ago, Maplewood Richmond Heights football wasn’t on anyone's radar, let alone MICDS. Then the Blue Devils shocked the Rams 26-16 in the season opener. It’s no shock now that the Rams are planning a different outcome this year. When MICDS travels to MRH High School Friday night it will be the number two team in the area visiting number one, according to small-school rankings on STLToday.com. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. (Are you hungry for more Blue Devils news?
