Victory begins in the trenches for Saint Louis’ stonewalling defense

By Paul Honda on November 20, 2019

The question is more theory when defense face Saint Louis. How can anyone keep Saint Louis’ high-powered offense from scoring? Take one weapon away, and the Crusaders find another way to exploit the weakness. Sometimes, the best defense is an offense, one that can slow the game down. Lower the possession counts. Keep quarterback Jayden de Laura and his offensive teammates on the sideline. Nationally-ranked Bishop Gorman tried. The Gaels finished with 98 yards on 21 rushing attempts in a […]

On a partly cloudy afternoon with thunder and lightning on the horizon, Saint Louis coach Cal Lee had a chance to talk when practice was postponed.

When Saint Louis quarterback Jayden de Laura gave an oral commitment to the Washington State Cougars last month, it seemed like the end of the recruiting process.

A day later, he rewarded that offer with a commitment to head coach Mike Leach and the Cougars. Things remained quiet for a few weeks, but […]

By Nick Abramo on November 1, 2019

No. 1 Saint Louis was seven little points better than No. 2 Punahou on Friday night and so it was no joke when coach Cal Lee said afterward that the Crusaders are fortunate to be where they’re at. Where they’re at is 36 victories in a row and in prime position to go for a fourth straight Open Division state championship. Had they not kept their composure when the going got super rough in the second half at Aloha Stadium, […]

Team effort helps No. 1-ranked Crusaders keep streaks alive

By Christian Shimabuku on November 1, 2019

The streaks live on for Saint Louis. Friday night’s 21-14 victory over Punahou at Aloha Stadium gave the Crusaders their fifth straight ILH title and 36th consecutive victory overall. But nobody put both of those in jeopardy this year like the Buffanblu did. No. 1 Saint Louis (10-0) has breezed through its 2019 schedule this season for the most part, with the two exceptions each one-possession wins over No. 2 Punahou. After eking by 25-19 on Sept. 20, coach Cal […]
