The Maplewood Richmond Heights cross country team had a “fantastic showing” at the Class 2 District 2 meet at Spanish Lake last week, according to coach Ryan Rzeszutko. The boys team finished third out of 10 teams and the girls team finished third out of nine teams — the top two teams advance to state. Four individual Blue Devil runners (an MRH record) advanced to the state meet by finishing in the top 15. The state meet is at the Oak Hills Golf Center in Jefferson City on November 5. See more information.
The Maplewood Richmond Heights Blue Devils (20-5) will face the Saxony Lutheran Crusaders (15-10) in a Class 1 state quarterfinal soccer game at MRH on Saturday, October 29 at 1 p.m.
MRH played Saxony in the Hannibal Varsity Tournament in the beginning of the season, with the Crusaders coming out on top 2-0. It was a very physical and competitive game, a parent said. The Devils finished third and the Crusaders finished second in the tournament. MRH qualified for the state quarterfinal game by beating Brentwood 6-0 in the district final. It’s the first time in 30 years that the Blue Devils have won districts.
Maplewood Richmond Heights soccer overwhelmed Brentwood in the first half of the Class 1 District 2 final on Thursday, going on to beat the Eagles 6-0.

The win gave MRH its first district championship in 30 years, and capped off two 20-win seasons in a row. MRH now stands at 20-5. Brentwood finished at 4-16.
