The last time a Streamwood girls basketball team won a regional championship, most of the current Sabres’ parents weren’t even married yet, head coach George Rosner didn’t have any grey hair, one of his current assistant coaches was a budding sophomore star on the team and the price of gas was 75 cents per gallon. While we’ll likely never see gas prices like that again, the Sabres’ 25-year wait is officially over. Senior Deja Moore set the tone, junior Hannah McGlone cleaned the glass like a professional window washer, and senior Jessica Cerda closed the door as the Sabres dominated South Elgin from start to finish in a 54-34 win in the championship game of the Class 4A Streamwood regional Thursday night. The regional crown is Streamwood’s first since 1988, when the Sabres finished a run of four straight regional titles. “I don’t know if I’d say it’s been a fast 25 years but it doesn’t feel like 25 years since I held one of these,” said a jubilant Rosner, clutching the newly cut down net. “It feels great. I’m so proud of the girls. They wanted this bad.”
