Defense gets Glenbard South going
Updated Feb 7, 2013 11:42 PMUp. Down. Up and up. That describes how Glenbard South played in its four quarters Thursday night while hosting Fenton and closing out the Raiders home campaign on senior night. Glenbard South jumped ahead of the Bison 13-0 and eventually claimed the Metro Suburban Conference girls contest 49-26. But after the great start, the Raiders (19-6, 10-2) didn’t make a single shot from the floor in the second quarter and the Bison tied the game at 15 before a pair of Taylor Malone free throws gave the home team a 17-15 lead at the break.

- While the latest fashions brought more than 250 supporters of Chicago Uptown Ministry together for the Ministry’s annual Luncheon and Fashion Show on March 10th, they also drew inspiration from being able to help provide services to the residents of Chicago’s Uptown community. Generous donations from attendees and sponsors meant more than $33,000 was raised to help provide services such as a food pantry, after school/summer school programs, ESL classes, counseling services and the new Ways to Work program, which helps families buy or repair a car, allowing parents to more easily meet job demands while raising a child.
