Lindenwood Tournament Provides Unique Experience, Interesting Results

For Bixby, this was a good follow-on from wins over St. Thomas Aquinas and KC Jr. Blues in preseason and they did well to shake off the close loss to SLUH. 

They defeated Monarch as mentioned above and also were impressive in a 55-17 win over the St. Louis Jets to go with their tie with SLU.

"SLUH is a solid team we had trouble getting attack going," said Bixby DOR Chris Smith. "We didn’t capitalize on multiple scoring opportunities in last few minutes of match that would have got the job done, but hats off to SLUH for staying composed and earning the W."  

Smith added that the entire weekend was used.

"It was a great weekend to experiment a bit with lineups and get some new kids some valuable minutes. We have a lot of alumni playing at Lindenwood University."

One of those alumni, JD Martin, scored three tries for Lindenwood in front of a strong Bixby crowd.

Senior hooker Brady Dale was outstanding in the scrums and a lock-down tackler. Junior Max Brooks had a very productive weekend playing in both the forwards and backs but did pick up an injury on the weekend.
