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 …

Kirkwood plays good defense late in the game, and withstands the Flyers' final flurry to win, 54-53.
In a back-and-forth, tight game the Kirkwood Pioneers boys basketball team hung on for a 54-53 win over the Lindbergh Flyers on Friday night. Down by one point in the final seconds, Lindbergh senior guard Will Spitzfaden stole Kirkwood’s inbound pass, but missed an inside shot, and then junior guard Joe Killian’s follow-up shot also missed as time expired. “The guys kept fighting,” Lindbergh coach Jason Wolford said. “Gave themselves a chance to win it.” Kirkwood’s big road win puts them at 9-9 overall, and Lindbergh falls to 7-8. “We got the steal and it looked like we were going to pull it off,” Lindbergh senior center Jared Haenni said, “We did our best, and they played some good D at the end.” Kirkwood came up with big defensive plays …

Poor shooting plagues Lindbergh during the Dave Sinclair Memorial Invitational at Lindbergh High School.
Facing the defending state champions in the semifinals of the Dave Sinclair Memorial Invitational on Saturday at Lindbergh High School, the host Lindbergh Flyers came out scared. They turned the ball over. They missed shots. They didn’t rebound. They didn’t play defense. The result? They found themselves down 24-3 to No. 1 seeded Springfield Hillcrest midway through the second quarter. A few days after Alabama coach Nick Saban visited his school to recruit him for football, 6-foot-6 junior Dorial Green scored the first 10 points for Hillcrest and outscored the entire Lindbergh team 17-12 by halftime. Lindbergh woke up in the second half, but the deficit was just too big to overcome. They lost 51-39 to Hillcrest, which went on to demolish …

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…

Marquette substitutes for all five of its starters and the following 30-7 run led the Mustangs to an improbable 54-44 come-from-behind win over Lindbergh at home.
After watching Lindbergh score the first eight points of the third quarter to build a nine-point lead Thursday night, Marquette coach Shane Matzen called timeout and subbed in five guys off his bench to send a wakeup call to his starters. Not even he could have predicted what happened next. Marquette’s substitutes followed with a 30-7 run to take control of the game and lead them to a 54-44 come-from-behind win over Lindbergh at Marquette High School. “We went from maybe one of the poorest three minutes I’ve seen in my 15 years here to maybe the best four minutes I’ve ever seen,” Matzen said. “It was really hard to comprehend to tell you the truth. All of a sudden it just turned around. “I think Lindbergh is an awfully quality opponent. I’…

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…

The Flyers cruised after a very strong first half, and rolled to their fourth-straight win, 59-34 over Parkway Central on Tuesday night.
With his team leading 29-15 at halftime, Lindbergh boys basketball coach Jason Wolfard went into the locker room unsure what to say negatively to his team. He couldn't get mad at the shooting after they went 6-for-7 from behind the 3-point line. He couldn't be upset with how they took care of the ball after they committed just six turnovers. And he surely couldn't find fault with a stifling defense that allowed Parkway Central just two points in the second quarter. "We went in there at halftime and tried to find something we could get on them for to do better," Wolfard joked. "We got on them for offensive rebounds but couldn't really get on them too much for that because we shot the ball so well and didn't have many opportunities." The …

Lindbergh moves to 3-1 by defeating Kirkwood 59-46 Tuesday night.
Lindbergh High School girls varsity basketball team played a stifling defense against the Kirkwood Pioneers Tuesday night on the court to frustrate Kirkwood and take a 59-46 win for Flyers. Kirkwood brought a perfect early season record of 3-0 to Lindbergh Tuesday but suffered the loss after team leaders Lianna Doty and Natalie Fryrear fouled out in the second half. Leading the Flyers to victory on defense was senior forward Andrea Klipsch, who had several key second-half defensive rebounds to prevent the Pioneers from mounting a comeback. Offensively, the Flyers came out prepared to stand up to a taller Kirkwood squad. "We knew they might be vulnerable to foul trouble and so we came out pretty aggressive and used a dribble-drive offense …
