Lindbergh wrestling sees major postseason success, and the basketball team receives all-conference honors.
Sometimes a team’s record only tells part of the story. And while Lindbergh High School’s wrestling team finished the year with a 4-4 record in dual meets, coach Josh Hansel calls the season a success. “I don’t think our record indicates how strong we were,” Hansel said. “We had our ups and downs in dual meets. Our coaching staff tends to view our duals as a chance for the kids to wrestle matches. We don’t put kids in duals that are sick or injured, but we take our tournaments very seriously.” Lindbergh placed 10th in the 24-team Lee Summit Tournament, second in the 12-team Flyer Classic at Lindbergh High School, and first in the Howell North Tournament this season. “Tournaments are a big deal for us,” Hansel said. “The kids get to wrestle…

Eureka makes eight 3-pointers and wins at Lindbergh, 51-38. The Flyers have struggled in recent weeks.
Lindbergh coach Jason Wolfard warned his players that Eureka was a good 3-point shooting team. On Tuesday night, his Flyers found out for themselves. Eureka hit eight 3-pointers and held off a late Lindbergh run to down the Flyers, 51-38, in front a small crowd at Lindbergh High School. It was Lindbergh's fourth loss in five games. (Sports editor's update: Lindbergh won at Lutheran South, 63-57, on Wednesday to go to 9-9.) The Flyers in turn went 0-for-10 from behind the arc, getting outscored 24-0 on 3-pointers. Down by as many as 12 points in the third quarter, Lindbergh rallied to cut the deficit to three at 39-36 early in the fourth quarter but was outscored 12-2 down the stretch to lose for the eighth time in their past 11 games. “We …

Vianney and Lindbergh renew their intense rivalry on Friday night, and Vianney hangs on to win, 78-67.
Don’t try telling Vianney and Lindbergh high schools that the boys basketball District Tournament is still one month away. The rivals had another back-and-forth battle on Friday night as St. John Vianney overcame a late Lindbergh run and held off the Flyers for a 78-67 win in front of a packed and energetic crowd at Lindbergh High School in what could be a preview of next month's district final. Trailing by as many as 15 points in the third quarter, Lindbergh (5-5) cut the deficit to three at 67-64 with 1:15 to play. But Vianney (8-7) hit their free throws and the Flyers were called for a key charging foul with 57 seconds remaining and the Golden Griffins held on for a thrilling win over their rival. “What a great atmosphere,” said Vianney…

The 15th-seeded Flyers pushed No. 2 seed CBC, but lost, 67-54, at the Meramec Holiday Festival Tournament.
Had seeding for the Meramec Holiday Festival Tournament not been done the first week of the season, the Lindbergh Flyers would have been much higher than the No. 15 seed in the 16-team tournament. They showed why on Tuesday night. Entering the tournament with just one loss on the season, the Flyers led the No. 2-seed CBC Cadets by five points at halftime, and gave them a scare for much of the night before fading in the second half and losing, 67-54, at Meramec. Lindbergh (5-2) made a valiant attempt to be the first No. 15 seed to beat a No. 2 seed in the tournament's 33-year history, but couldn't overcome 25 points each from CBC's Darion Rackley and Seth Jackson. The Flyers led by as many as nine points in the first quarter and held leads…
