Ladue 41, Gateway Tech 14 — The Ladue High football team needed a wake-up call Wednesday night. It came in the form of a pair of early touchdowns from Gateway Tech. The Rams snapped to life after the early deficit, scoring 35 unanswered points to roll to victory.

The Rams (9-2) woke up from an early slumber thanks in part to junior quarterback Kortland Webb, who threw for two scores and ran for two others. He racked up 260 yards in total offense including 143 on the ground.

Webb connected with senior wide out Dre Washington for a pair of scores to trigger the five-touchdown blitz. Brian Thomas and Charles Badgett also scored on touchdown runs.

But Ladue answered with a pair of second-quarter touchdowns to take the lead for good. Thomas zipped up the middle from 10-yards out to put the Rams on the board midway through the second period. Webb then hit Washington on a 36-yard strike in the final two minutes of the half.
