Valle Catholic hasn’t lost a game in the I-55 Conference since 2012. The Warriors routinely beat the other teams in the conference with a running clock (a lead in the second half of 35 or more points) and are hungry to win their 15th state championship.
Can any of the five teams – Crystal City, Grandview, Herculaneum, Jefferson and St. Pius X – from the county topple Valle this fall? Jefferson might have the best chance at ending the Warriors’ reign.
