Looking to win its first-ever Mid-States hockey championship Monday night, the Duchesne Pioneers were on the verge of forcing overtime before a last-minute goal by Wentzville Holt put the dream out of reach. Holt sophomore sensation Corbin Foppe scored the game-winning goal with just 49.5 seconds remaining in the game, which broke a 3-3 tie that had stood since 10 seconds into the second period and clinched the Wickenheiser Cup for the Indians Monday at Scottrade Center with a 4-3 win.

Mark Buehrle, a St. Charles-native and pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays, will play the season in Toronto apart from his family because of an Ontario law that bans pit bull dogs.
It wasn't an easy decision for Major League Baseball pitcher Mark Buehrle, but at the end of the day, Buehrle's three dogs were as much a part of his family as his kids were. And he wasn't giving up on one of them. According to several media reports, Buehrle will play the regular season in Tornoto while his family—Buehrle's wife, two young children and four dogs, one a pit bull mix—lives in St. Charles, where Buehrle and his wife grew up. From a New York Daily News article: “It’s something we’re going to deal with,” Buehrle said. “It’s going to be tough at the beginning, not seeing your kids, but people deal with it and we’ll make it work.” Buehrle concluded responsible pet owners should not delegate to others the task of caring for a …
