Lindbergh's passing game is too much for the Patriots to handle.
In methodically efficient fashion, Lindbergh came into Parkway South on Friday night and dismantled the host Patriots, 36-7, and handed South its first loss of the 2011 season. Lindbergh quarterback Peter Simpson was razor-sharp in the pocket from the start as he threw for 212 yards and three touchdowns on the night. "They were playing about 12 yards off, so we just kept hitting the short passes," Simpson said. "We had to get rid of the ball quick and it was up the receivers to hold onto the ball." Lindbergh (3-1) put the game away late in the first half. Already ahead 29-7 in the second quarter, Lindbergh got the ball with a short field at the Parkway South (3-1) 48-yard line. Aided by a pair of pass interference penalties, the Flyers …

It was a perfect beginning to this season for the Flyers as they silence the fans at Oakville from the very beginning of their 42-0 rout.
It was a perfect beginning to this season for Lindbergh, as the Flyers silenced the fans at Oakville from the very beginning of their 42-0 rout. Meanwhile, it’s back to the drawing board for Oakville, as the Tigers were thoroughly outplayed in all phases of the game. Lindbergh scored touchdowns with its offense, defense and special teams, while the Tigers’ offense struggled to move the ball. The blowout win was the Flyers’ fifth consecutive victory over Oakville. Lindbergh senior QB Peter Simpson led a new-look offense that fired on all cylinders. Simpson threw three touchdown passes in limited minutes, and the Flyers raced to a 28-0 halftime advantage. “Defenders were out of position, allowing receivers to get behind them,” Oakville coach…

The Flyers travel to Suburban West Conference rival Oakville in the regular season opener for both teams.
The Lindbergh Flyers football team travels to Suburban West Conference-rival Oakville on Friday at 7 p.m. in the regular season opener for both teams. Oakville (2-8 last year) will look to avenge last season’s 39-7 loss to the Flyers (9-3 last year). Lindbergh has defeated Oakville in each of the past four seasons. The Tigers return eight offensive starters from their 2010 squad, including senior QB Javon Henderson and all five offensive linemen. Defensively, Oakville will rely on Henderson and brother Jaron Henderson, a senior, to lock down a talented Lindbergh aerial attack. Lindbergh, which made it to the Missouri Class 6 state quarterfinals last season, returns senior QB Peter Simpson, who threw for 2,219 yards, 19 touchdowns and 19 …

With 31 seniors back, including QB Peter Simpson and LB Chris Kew, Lindbergh is looking for its third straight Suburban West Conference championship.
SUNSET HILLS—Even with back-to-back Suburban West Conference championships on its résumé, Lindbergh High football coach Tom Beauchamp refuses to let his 2011 club bask in the glow of the program’s past glory. Instead, Beauchamp insists that every one of his Flyer teams develop its own identity and credit its own legacy based on its own success. “First thing I say to them is, 'You aren’t last year, and you aren’t two years ago,'” Beauchamp said. “That was a different team that accomplished those things and won those championships. These guys have to make their own name. They have to be ready to play on their own.” The 2011 Flyers will be hard-pressed to top the accomplishments of the ’09 and ’10 teams, which went 10-1 and 9-3, respectively…

The three teams, which will play a combined 38 games in 2011, are all set for their first official training camp workouts at 7:30 a.m. on Monday. The Lindbergh varsity will be the first to take the field in 2011, when the Flyers travel to Oakville on Aug. 26 to take on the Tigers at 7 p.m. In last year’s season opener, Lindbergh played one of its best defensive games of the entire season, holding Oakville to less than 100 yards of total offense while then-…
