TUESDAY, AUGUST 27 BOYS SOCCER ROUNDUP
The extreme heat that has settled in the metro St Louis area again played havoc with the boys soccer schedule, as four matches – Metro-East Lutheran at Trenton Wesclin, Carterville vs. Piasa Southwestern at Southwestern Illinois College in Belleville, Springfield at Belleville Althoff Catholic, and Breese Central against Waterloo Gibault Catholic, also at SWIC in the Metro Cup showcase – were all postponed, due to the heat.
