WEEK 2 PREVIEW | Cardinal Ritter and East St. Louis invade Chicago | Lutheran North shuts down Trinity | Top 10 rankings & Gateway Classic

The opening week was a roller coaster ride with the rain being present all across metro St. Louis causing several postponements. Cardinal Ritter upsets No. 1 school in Chicago, Nazareth Academy and Michigan commit J.J. McCarthy. John is skeptical if Nazareth is as good as Chicago says they are. Top 10 overall rankings. East St. Louis topples other highly ranked Chicago school, Batavia on the road. Despite no Antonio Doyle and Travion Ford, Lutheran North defeats Trinity again at LeMothe Field and shuts down the supposed high flying offense leaving the guys to wonder if the Titans aren't the same team compared to the last couple of years or just a one off performance. Fort Zumwalt West shocks Eureka on a last second touchdown pass as did MICDS in the bootheel of Missouri. Fort Zumwalt North proved their worth early by taking down Francis Howell. SLUH outlasts Battle in a Columbia shootout. Edwardsville and Ladue receive victories despite not playing one full quarter. Kirkwood scores 61 points on Jefferson City with new quarterback Kannon Nesslage chasing history in his first ever start.
