Southeast Missouri
completed its 2017-18
recruiting class with guard
Ledarrius Brewer Tuesday.
A native of Meridian,
Mississippi, Brewer (6'5",
200) ended his prep career as
one of the best guards in the
state.
"We are thrilled that
Ledarrius made the decision
to become a Redhawk,"
said head coach Rick Ray.
"Ledarrius is a knock down
shooter who possesses
tremendous length that should
also enable him to become a
valuable defensive stopper. I
love the way he can rebound
and start a fast break with
his ball handling and passing
skills. Ledarrius is a fantastic
person who has been raised

“We came out fired up
right from the start,” Pis-
torio said. “Sometimes we
come out a little slow, espe-
cially on a Monday. It was
nice to see that we were mo-
tivated and came out shots
firing.”
St. Vincent outshot Sax-
ony 18-3 in the game and
seemed to win every 50-50
balls. Effort from his team
disappointed Saxony Coach
Chris Crawford.
“Both of their goals
early in the game was be-
cause we weren’t going as
hard as we can,” Crawford
said. “All we ask for is a
perfect effort, not a perfect
game and we didn’t give the
effort today.”
St. Vincent had their
chances to extend their lead
even further, especially in
the 28th minute when Car-
roll found herself one-on-
one with substitute goalie
Ashley Fritsche, but she
fired high over the crossbar.

represent our program well."
Brewer averaged 15
points and seven rebounds
per game, leading Meridian
High School to a 30-2 record
and 6A state title this past
season. He recorded three 28-
point games as the Wildcats'
top scorer. A three-year
varsity starter, Brewer earned
all-state, all-district and all-
region honors, and was a
Mississippi/Alabama All-
Star. He was also selected All-
Mississippi Dandy Dozen,
which is Mississippi's most
prestigious basketball list.
Brewer joins Mark Laros
(C, Hengelo, Netherlands),
Isaiah Gable (F, Greenville,
Ohio), Justin Carpenter (F,
Mt. Carmel, Ill.) and Khalil
Cuffee (G, Fairburn, Ga.) in
next year's class.
Fritsche and Schna-
bel split time in the net, as
Fristsche came in during
the 25th minute. Schnabel
mustered four saves, while
Fritsche had eight.
But Fritsche did not fair
much better as the Lady In-
dians kept the pressure on
and scored just two minutes
later on a corner kick.
Jenna Winkler found
Seabaugh again as she
headed the corner into the
top corner past Fritsche for
a 3-0 lead.
The Lady Indians went
into half with the three-goal
lead, outshooting Saxony
12-1 in the first half.
While Saxony has
shown the ability to come
back from large deficits
this season, like in games
against Poplar Bluff and
Sikeston. St. Vincent was
having none of that.

kicking them and it’s nice

line but Winkler was there
to save the rolling shot from
reaching the back of the net.
Courtney Brewer and
her little sister Fayth shared
time in goal to preserve the
shutout.
“St. Vincent is a very
good team,” Crawford said.
“But we can’t get down so
early and expect to compete
with a team of their caliber.”
Pistorio knows now is
not the time to peak and to
be playing your best.
While a win over Sax-
ony in April is nice to see
where they stand against
district opponents, the post-
season is what counts. The
victory is the first over Sax-
ony since Pistorio took over
the soccer program.
“It’s a big rivalry we
have with Saxony, but I’d
rather beat them in May,”
Pistorio said. “It’s nice to
get the monkey off our back
and finally beat them. But
this isn’t our end game.”
