The first happened when an F3 tornado blew out the side walls of their Brookridge home at 2 a.m.

Jays clear first hurdle

The prohibitive favorite had its back against the wall early in the Class 2 District 16 girls soccer championship game.

Down 1-0 to second-seeded Park Hill South just more than 11 minutes into the game, top-seeded Liberty High knew it was in for a battle.

But Blue Jays freshman Shea Groom scored two goals in the next eight minutes, and scored the clincher with just over four minutes remaining in a 5-2 win Tuesday, May 13, at Park Hill South High.

Editor’s Note: In a version of this article posted online earlier today, several paragraphs were inadvertently omitted, and one sentence read incorrectly because part of it was not included. The sentence should have read: “In March, Steve Yoakum, executive director of PSRS, said his organization would move to recover any payments to Taveau if PSRS found the retired superintendent had violated the terms of his retirement.” At this time, PSRS has never stated that it has found Taveau to be in violation of the terms of his retirement.
