After all, it was the Eagles’ first district title since 1994. Now Brentwood has won three district titles in a row, and while it’s still great to advance to the sectional, the new [...]

By Steve Bowman Editor, The Brentwood Spirit Brentwood High School student Sophia Rivera has accomplished one of the most difficult tasks for a high school athlete in any of the individual sports: She has become a state champion in more than one event as a freshman. After winning the Class 2 girls discus throw at the MSHSAA Track and Field [...]
By Steve Bowman Editor, The Brentwood Spirit Brentwood High School’s freshman sensation has done it again. Sophia Rivera is the Class 2 state champion in the discus throw. Competing Friday at Lincoln University in Jefferson City, Rivera threw the discus 124 feet and 4 inches in the finals to beat 15 other throwers. Her best throw outdistanced second-place Vanessa Cook, [...]
By Steve Bowman Editor, The Brentwood Spirit It’s usually harder than this. That thought has to be running through the minds of Brentwood High School baseball team members this week. On Monday and Tuesday they manhandled Cleveland NJROTC and Maplewood-Richmond Heights by a combined score of 32-4 to win their third consecutive Class 3 district championship. In the first game, [...]
By Steve Bowman Editor, The Brentwood Spirit Two-for-two is certainly better than zero-for-six. Last spring the Brentwood High School boys and girls track and field teams sent six athletes to the sectional meet and none qualified for state. But last Saturday two went to the sectional and both did well enough to make it to state this Friday and Saturday [...]
By Steve Bowman Editor, The Brentwood Spirit Sophia Rivera’s personal bests don’t stay personal for long. As Brentwood High School’s record holder in both the shot put and the discus throw, every time she records a personal best it also becomes a school best. Rivera improved her personal/school bests in both events at the Class 2, District 2 track and [...]

By Steve Bowman Editor, The Brentwood Spirit At first, things didn’t look good for the Brentwood High School girls soccer team last week. Entering its most important game of the season, against Crossroads on Wednesday: Crossroads was 6-0 in the South Central conference, 9-1 overall. The Current had beaten Brentwood 4-1 three weeks before. Crossroads was allowing an average of [...]
By Steve Bowman Editor, The Brentwood Spirit Two people were responsible for 23 of the 24 points Brentwood High School scored at the Marion Freeman Invitational track and field meet last week at Clayton High School. Sophia Rivera scored 18 points by herself, winning the shot put and taking second place in the discus throw. Justice Bratcher scored all five [...]
By Steve Bowman Editor, The Brentwood Spirit First, the good news. It’s halfway into the season and the Brentwood High School baseball team has a winning record, 5-4. In those five wins the Eagles have outscored opponents by an astounding 83-10. Now the bad news. Three of the four losses have been to South Central AA Conference opponents. So despite [...]
