SV releases football schedule

The football season is right around the corner as is evidence by the fact that many area schools released their football schedules.
St. Vincent was no different. The Indians will attempt to improve on a 7-3 record in 2022 and won the I-55 conference.
St. Vincent will open on the road at Thayer on Aug. 25. Thayer is a Class 1 that has seen success in recent years, winning 10 games in 2021. The Bobcats went 4-6 last season.
St. Vincent will be back on the road in week 2 at Scott City, before hosting Perryville for the team’s first home game and conference opponent on Sept. 8. The Indians have had the Pirates’ number of late, winning the last five matchups.
St. Vincent will travel to Herculaneum and host Valle Catholic, who will have a strong team yet again in Week 5.
St. Vincent will alternate road and home games for the rest of the season by traveling two Bayless (Sept 29) and Grandview (Oct. 13) and home games against St. Pius (Oct. 6) and finishing the regular season against Jefferson (Oct. 20).
The team doesn’t have an overly large senior class, but averages about 11 kids in each grade below that, but does return several key pieces from last season.

One of those key guys will be senior quarterback Christian Schaaf, who will be entering his third year at the helm.
Other returners include Cruz Reitzel, Jacob Schremp and Clayton Gremaud, who were key weapons for Schaaf on the offensive side.
Schaaf was named the Offensive MVP of the I-55 conference last season. Schaaf threw for 1,968 yards with 23 touchdowns and 9 interceptions, while rushing for 351 yards and seven touchdowns.
If Schaaf is the leader of the offense, Robinson is the leader of the defense.
He returns for his senior season after a dynamite junior campaign. Robinson led the way for the St. Vincent defense with a team-leading 137 tackles, one sack, and one interception.
Robinson led the southeast Missouri area in tackles.
The offseason has begun already and throughout the entire offseason.
St. Vincent typically runs a three-week camp in July.
