Brentwood Basketball Looking To Get Back On Winning Track

Eagles are primed to improve on last year’s 9-14 season. The season opener is set for Tuesday at home against Construction Careers Academy.

Coming off a 9-14 season last year, and with the two best players from that team now playing in college, some might think the Brentwood High School boys basketball team is in for a rebuilding year this season. Don’t count head coach Brad Kern among those that think that though. Kern said he is very excited about the Eagles prospects for the coming season. “We go about nine deep,” Kern said. “I think we’re deeper than we were last year. We can play more up-tempo than we did in the past, and I think we’ll be more exciting.” Leading the Eagles on the court this year will be its three senior captains Danny Lynch, Diontez Edwards and Jesse Sneed. All three are expected to start, while Kern also expects to get big contributions from juniors Josh…

In Round Two, MRH Barely Escapes Brentwood in Nailbiter

The Eagles held the Blue Devils to 79 yards of offense but fell short in the end.

It was almost an “on any given Monday night” kind of game for Brentwood. The underdog Eagles held Maplewood Richmond Heights like no team has done all year, but in the end came up short. The Blue Devils finally found a way to overcome host Brentwood 7-0 in the sectional state playoff game. The Devils had beat the Eagles 55-0 in the second week of the regular season. With 3:15 left on the clock, MRH junior Aaron Spudich stripped the ball from Brentwood senior Danny Lynch. MRH junior Kahlid Hagens scooped up the ball and sprinted 80 yards for the game's first and only score. “Touchdown, that’s all I thought in my mind,” Hagens said. “Touchdown. The game is over.” "Kahlid is a super star," said MRH assistant coach Sterling Finney, who is …

"Susan" 4:35pm on Friday, November 4, 2011 "It might have been a closer game had the referees called penalties on both teams and not just Maplewood. Very poor performance by the referees." Seems like you've have problems with the referees also......haha   more ›

Kicker Caragher is Clutch for Brentwood Eagles

The Eagles advance to the next round of the postseason after grabbing a late win against Carnahan on Wednesday night.

The game clock read 2:48 in the fourth quarter when Brentwood kicker Jake Caragher stood at the 17-yard line, waiting for the ball to be snapped. Caragher, a senior, kept telling himself that this kick was no different than an extra point. Never mind that Brentwood and Carnahan were tied 14-14 with the season on the line. Finally, the snap came, and the hold was perfect. Caragher powered the ball through the uprights, prompting the home Brentwood crowd to erupt in cheers. The 27-yard field goal would prove to be the deciding score in a game that featured an explosive first half but quiet second one. "I don't even know what to say right now," said a smiling Caragher after the game. "This is amazing. There is no other feeling." Have you '…

Eagles Look to Recover From Friday's Loss

Brentwood aims to rebound when it plays North Callaway next week.

Lutheran South was once a team that Brentwood could easily beat, but on Friday night, in front of Brentwood's homecoming crowd, this Lancers team had a different plan. The Eagle’s three-game winning streak came to an abrupt end after they lost to the Lancers 8-46. “They’re a good team, but we didn’t play up to our potential and just had a terrible night on defense,” Brentwood coach Keith Herring said. “Things didn’t happen for us. What more do I say?” (More photos are available on our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/BrentwoodEagles) One stat is enough: Brentwood was stopped on nine of 10 possessions, while Lutheran South scored touchdowns on seven of 10 possessions. Herring said he thought they could give them a game, and the Eagles …

The Eagles will face the cadets from the Missouri Military Academy Friday night. It's a growing program, on its way up.

Brentwood Offense Clicks in Win Over Wesclin

The Eagles controlled the scoreboard and game clock in their first win of the season.

After a quiet two weeks to start the season, the Brentwood offense came alive to top Wesclin 26-20 on Friday night.
