Bixby defeated St. Thomas Aquinas 24-5 this past weekend in what is a warmup game for both teams.
St. Louis University High held an all-Catholic-School tournament this past weekend and the Kansas City area did fairly well, with St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Martin's Kingfishers both winning all of their games.
Since Aquinas and Kingfishers are slated to play each other soon, they didn't play each other in the tournament, so both came out undefeated.
St. Louis University High is hosting a All-Catholic-School tournament this weekend, bringing in several ranked teams to St. Louis.
St. Thomas Aquinas, ranked #6 among school teams at the moment, headlines a group that includes SLUH (ranked until recently), #44 Father Ryan, #48 St. Martin (Kingfishers), #37 Notre Dame de la Salette, and an up-and-coming Chaminade.
St. Thomas Aquinas bounced back from a loss to Woodlands last week with a 39-0 defeat fo Bixby this weekend.
Head Coach Tim Kluempers said he was especially pleased with his team's tactical decisions.
