St. John Vianney High School is located in Kirkwood. The school mascot is the Golden Griffins and the school colors are gold and black. Details about the school are available via Wikipedia.
Vianney is a member of the Metro Catholic Conference which includes SLUH, CBC, DeSmet, and Chaminade. Vianney maintains a soccer website via eTeamz which includes their updated varsity stats and team roster.
Vianney reached the state championship game last year but lost to CBC, 1-2. Eight starters graduated from that second place team, but they had 11 juniors (now seniors) who saw significant playing time.
Vianney’s leading scorer is senior forward #17 Joe Madden. Vianney’s scoring appears to be well-distributed. They have six players with 5 or more goals on the season, but only Madden has reached double digits.
Vianney is being coached by assistant coach Brian Haddock. Head coach Dave Gauvain was suspended for the season for involvement with the Kutis U14 select team (his son’s team) for which he is an administrator. This is a source of extra motivation for Vianney in the postseason.
