The Ladue Rams have been on a roll this season with a 7-0 record. The Rams maintained their undefeated record with a 39-3 victory at Parkway West last weekend. Ladue’s closest call of the season came during Week 6 when they rallied from 22-6 deficit to defeat Cape Girardeau Central in a battle of undefeated teams at the time.
The Rams have been led by quarterback Jack Fox, who has passed for 968 yards and nine touchdowns. Fox is also an excellent kicker with 10 field goals to his credit, including five in a thrilling victory over Jennings last month. Running backs Daylon Edwards and James Scott have scored six touchdowns each while receivers Paul Flynn, Chuck Burton, Jerrod Smith and James Ball are all averaging at least 12 yards per reception.
Ladue will close the regular season with University and St. Charles West. After being Class 4 for several years, the Rams are now in Class 5. They are in a very competitive District 2 with the likes of Webster Groves, Pattonville, Chaminade, McCluer North and Hazelwood East. Ladue is currently atop the District 2 rankings after seven weeks.
