Lutheran North Seeks 6th State Title, 1st Since 1999<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By Jim Wieners<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

  About 20 years ago in the now Dome at\nAmerica\u2019s Center in St. Louis, Lutheran North defeated Kansas City St. Pius X\n28-21 to win the Class 2A State Football Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  That was the last time Lutheran North played\nin the Show Me Bowl. Friday, Dec. 6, at Faurot Field (at Memorial Stadium) on\nthe University of Missouri Campus in Columbia, the 13-0 Crusaders play the 14-0\nAva Bears for the Class Two State title. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Lutheran North won two of the five state\nfootball championships at Faurot Field, 1988 over Chillicothe (36-0) and 1990\nover Oak Grove (27-13), LHSN won two titles in St. Louis, 1981 (at Busch\nStadium II) over Marshall (14-6) and St. Pius X.  Moreover, in 1989, the Crusaders pulled off a\nlast minute come from behind win over Branson (28-26) at Missouri State\nUniversity Plaster Field, Springfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Four of the five state championships were\nin Class 3A and the head coach is Mike Russell while Jim Manion coached the\n1999 State Champions. Lutheran North\u2019s five titles equal the most in Football\nby North County high schools. The other North County high school, with five\nstate titles, is combined total won by the Hawks of Hazelwood High (1972\nco-champions with the now defunct Kansas City Southwest) and Hazelwood Central\n(1985-undefeated, 1996, 2008 and 2009, the last two coached by Rich Nixon).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     Lutheran North got help to going 13-0\nthanks to the forfeitures of the entire season by Cardinal Ritter for using an\nineligible player (name will not mention) in the Ritter season opener against\nIllinois Class 7A Runner Up LaGrange Park Nazareth Academy. That player was to\nbe suspended a game after an apparent ejection in the 2018 Class Three Final\nloss to Trinity Catholic but played with a different uniform number and a\ndifferent (un-mentioned) name. However, reported photos showed similar tattoos.\nLutheran North originally lost to Ritter (27-13) in week two (at East St.\nLouis, Ill.) but became a 13-0 Crusader forfeit win before the week eight game\nagainst Farmington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ava, located east-southeast of Springfield in\nsouthwest\\ Missouri, is playing in their first Show Me Bowl State Championship.\nUntil this season, the Bears never got past the quarterfinals. This year the\nClass Two, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 District Three Champions defeated former seven\ntime Champion Lamar 26-14 in the Quarterfinals and won their first State\nSemifinal game at home in overtime over 2008 champion Clark County  28-14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LUTHERAN NORTH 38,\nLATHROP 24 <\/strong>— Anticipating rainy weather for the Nov. 30 semifinal the game\nmoved from the potentially soggy grass of LaMothe Memorial Field to South\nCounty and the artificial turf of Bayless (High School) Field. Bayless began\nplaying football in 2015 and this season is the second varsity season for the\nBronchos (not a typo). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  It took just 59 seconds for Lutheran North to\nscore on the game\u2019s opening drive after the Crusaders won the coin toss and\nchose to receive against the 2018 Class Two State Runner Up.  The opening four-play, 58-yard drive includes\na 32-yard run by sophomore quarterback Brian Brown, who threw the first of three\ntouchdown passes, from 17 yards to senior Antonio     Doyle. Brian Brown completed 13 passes for\n163 yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

   After Lathrop was not successful in getting\na first down on their first drive, Lutheran North got the ball back on the Mule\n38 after a poor Lathrop punt. The drive went six plays including a Lathrop pass\ninterference penalty on  fourth-and-one\nand, with 7:02 left in the first quarter, senior Jalen Head ran for an\neight-yard touchdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Lathrop cut Lutheran North lead from 16-0\nand 16-10 before Lutheran North responded with 15 unanswered points to end the\nfirst half. That includes a Jackson Giselle 39-yard field goal with 2:08 left\nin the first quarter and a 60-yard Blake Gordon touchdown pass to Tyler Paul\nwith 5:08 left in the first half. Brian Brown responded 2:45 later with on a\nfourth-and-five play from the Mule 11 with a touchdown pass to sophomore Kevon\nJacobs, then Brian Brown, who rushed 13 times for 108 yards, added a 39-yard\ntouchdown with 49 seconds left until halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The second half included\na pair of goal line stands by the Lutheran North defense but not a third as\nGordon scored on a quarterback sneak from a yard out with 9:56 left. An\ninterception on a lateral-pass play by senior Parker set up a Brown 37-yard\ntouchdown pass, with 5:58 left to senior Jordan Smith, who caught nine passes\nfor 121 yards. Paul ran for a 35-yard Lathrop touchdown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
