The Pioneer hockey team has a shot at becoming Duchesne High School's first-ever Mid-States High School Hockey League champion tonight.
The Duchesne High School hockey team has a chance to make school history Monday evening at Scottrade Center.

The puck is set to drop in the Wickenheiser Cup championship game at 5:30 p.m. at Scottrade Center in downtown St. Louis.

The Pioneers have advanced via a mini-game win in its previous two playoff series—against Fort Zumwalt West and Marquette—this playoff season.

Got a gardening question? Leave a question for our experts.
Ask the gardener is a column in which local readers send in questions about your garden, lawn, trees and more. This week's question: Will the summer drought affect fall planting? Jean Melton , manager at World Outdoor Emporium in Wentzville, answered the question: No, not necessarily, because if you're going to plant, then you're going to water, so the drought won't affect planting. As long as the heat goes away and eventually cools down, like it should in the fall. As soon as it cools down, you can plant. If the ground is too dry, it may be more difficult to dig, so we recommend running a sprinkler the day before to make it easier.
