Griffs get out fast and dominate Flyers in opening game of Coaches vs Cancer at Scottrade Center.
There are those embarassing moments in sports, Lindbergh shot just 3 of 35 from the field and were destroyed 37-8 by rival Vianney in the opening game of the Coaches vs Cancer Shootout at Scottrade Center in downtown St. Louis.

He has offers from Harding College, Searcy, Arkansas and CBC of Memphis and looks from UMSL, Quincy, Central Missouri and others. "I thought we played well. I'm glad we won," said O'Brien.

The Flyers maintained a 7-7 tie well into the 4th quarter, but fell with just a few minutes left in the game.

But that’s where the Lindbergh Flyers found themselves Friday night in their district opener at Parkway South thanks to an impressive defensive effort that kept the underdogs in the game from start to finish. So when his offense couldn’t put together a game-winning drive and they suffered a heart-breaking 10-7 loss to end their season, Lindbergh coach Tom Beauchamp couldn’t find a negative thing to say. “The kids came to play, they played their hearts out and gave it everything they had,” Beauchamp said. “I have no complaints or gripes.
