McCluer North Coach Reflects on Season
Randy Reed inspired the team with previous Stars' teams to drive them all of the way.
The roots of the growing dynasty on North Waterford are easy to trace. Three trips to Mizzou Arena throughout the past four years put McCluer North in a special category. Coach Randy Reed should be credited with putting the Stars in that elite class by themselves. As a player at Vashon playing for coach Floyd Irons, Reed learned the game of basketball at a different level. Perhaps the most important aspect of the game he learned concerned getting through a long, grueling season centered around a tough schedule. "Back in the day, he told us the only thing that matters is the last six games of the season," Reed said.

A Look Back on the Winter Sports
As the last of winter teams wrap up in the postseason, we give you a photogenic memory of the season.
As we begin to turn our attention to springtime weather and sporting events, it's important to note what brought us here. Winter sports have given us a number of thrills and chills, not to mention, a place to get out of those snowy and icy days. The weather also brought a number of rescheduled games, though. We look back on the winter prep sports of wrestling, basketball and swimming and look forward to the sunnier (and warmer) days of sports.

The Road to Mizzou Arena
McCluer North, Hazelwood Central look to be on a collision course to meet in basketball's district championship game.
