The Gateway STEM football program has been on a major uptick over the past two seasons.
The 2024-25 campaign was a historic one for the Jaguars, who won a school-record 11 games. They went undefeated in the regular season, captured a district championship and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Class 4 state playoffs.
Head coach Jason Dulick has the Jaguars rolling again this fall. Gateway STEM is 6-0 after a 33-6 victory over Lutheran St. Charles last Friday night, giving the program 17 wins in its last 18 games. The Jaguars boast a potent offense and a stingy defense that has allowed just 26 points all season.
Quarterbacks Tylin Moore and LeMonta Robinson lead the offense. Moore has passed for 653 yards and 10 touchdowns, while Robinson has thrown for 405 yards and seven touchdowns and rushed for five scores. Robinson threw three touchdown passes in a 29-6 win at Crystal City two weeks ago.
At wide receiver, junior Gavin Dillon and senior Javion Jones are dangerous deep threats. Dillon is averaging 36 yards per catch and has scored seven touchdowns, while Jones is averaging 28 yards per catch with eight scores. Running back Reshun White leads the team with 342 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
On defense, Dennis Berry and Kain James anchor a unit that has dominated opponents. James has a team-high 48 tackles and two quarterback sacks, while Berry leads the Jaguars with four sacks.
Gateway STEM will try to remain unbeaten Thursday against Confluence Prep Academy before closing the regular season with games against Madison and Doniphan.
