  • Corey Knigge

    Knigge’s next at Mundelein Apr 23, 2013 12:00 AM
    Mundelein's boys basketball program will need to be patient. Considering Dennis Kessel blessed us with Kyle, Perry Wilhelm so generously gave us Kyle, Brian and Brett, and Dick Knar granted us Dickie and Robert, the pressure is on Corey Knigge. Dads Kessel, Wilhelm and Knar — the Mustangs' last three coaches — all had athletic, talented, basketball-smart sons, with Kyle Kessel and Robert Knar the most famous of them all, scoring nearly 4,000 points between them. Corey Knigge, who was approved by Mundelein's school board Tuesday night as Dick Knar's successor as head boys coach, has no children. It's understandable. He married his bride, Megan, three weeks ago. "I held out for 41 years," Knigge said with a laugh.

  • Webb makes sure Vernon Hills’ run continues downstate Feb 25, 2013 12:00 AM
    With her trusty point-guard hands, Lauren Webb cradled not a souvenir string of basketball net, nor the supersectional plaque, nor the game ball, which she so richly deserved. Rather, the Vernon Hills junior squeezed the Charmin. Well, a roll of some brand of toilet paper, anyway. She wasn’t about to cry, however. Nor was the player, poised and peppy, about to devilishly head off to TP someone’s house. “My nose is always running, since freshman year,” Webb said of why she stashes a roll of toilet paper on the bench. “It’s easier than a tissue box.” Vernon Hills’ season-long roll continued Monday night with a 39-31 win over pesky-younger-smaller Burlington Central in the Class 3A Hoffman Estates supersectional, earning the 30-2 Cougars a berth downstate for the second year in a row.

  • Bill Bellecomo, left, will replace Tony Monken, right, as Vernon Hills’ head football coach.

    By design, Bellecomo will direct the action at Vernon HillsJan 29, 2013 12:00 AM
    Those football plays that li'l Bill Bellecomo used to carve in his yard are long gone. They left an indelible mark, however. "My old man used to catch me in the back yard drawing them up in the dirt," Bellecomo, Ray Bellecomo's boy, said with a laugh. Not that Bellecomo will draw up a play from his boyhood days when he directs Vernon Hills' football team in the fall. But suffice it to say, he will draw on experience, from his days as a kid, to his days as a football player at Willowbrook High, to his years as an assistant coach studying under three highly successful high school head coaches.
