Redmann, Wauconda top Antioch in 8 May 29, 2013 12:00 AM
Clearly, Wauconda senior Lexie Redmann was the defensive hero of the game when she positively stole a potential double off the bat of Antioch's Kaytee Keefe in the fifth inning of Wednesday's Class 3A sectional semifinal at Grayslake Central. "I told my mom I was going to make 50 diving catches,'' Redmann said. But when this game between NSC Prairie Division rivals went to extra innings, Redmann was still hitless at the plate. And that came as a surprise to Wauconda coach Tim Rennels. That's because he had called an optional hitting practice before the big game. "And Lexie was the only girl who took me up on it,'' Rennels said. "And she has some great swings in the cages. We both walked off happy." Since both teams had split a pair of games during the regular season, naturally this game went to the eighth inning knotted up at 2-2. And then the extra batting practice paid off. Redmann's fifth homer of the season opened up a 4-2 lead. Freshman Brooke Sefcik followed with another longball. Wauconda (22-12) will play for the sectional title come Saturday at Grayslake Central. The Bulldogs stopped Antioch 5-3 and in the meantime dodged a one-girl wrecking crew named Kaylene Ressler. In order, she singled, homered, singled and homered.

NSC rises up downstate May 25, 2013 12:00 AM
All season long, Lakes and Grant battled for boys track supremacy in the North Suburban Conference. On Saturday in the state finals at O’Brien Field and Eastern Illinois University, the Eagles and Bulldogs showed the rest of the state what the NSC and all of Lake County already knew: They’re pretty good at this running, jumping and throwing stuff. As part of the Class 2A finals session, Lakes qualified individuals in seven events Saturday and wound up with its highest state finish, taking fourth overall. The Eagles’ 29 points were just 8 points behind third-place Bloomington. Cahokia won its third consecutive Class 2A state title with 99.5 points to 40 for second place East St. Louis.

Demand, Lakes strike again May 24, 2013 12:00 AM
Justin Demand's final fastball popped leather, and moments later from beyond the fence in center field came more sounds that were pleasant to the ears of Lakes. Snap, crackle, pop, sizzle. Pretty. Pretty appropriate. Demand's 16-strikeout performance against Antioch last month was worthy of fireworks, and Friday the Lakes lefty got them. Which he earned again. After Demand pitched No. 2 Lakes to a 1-0 win over No. 3 Antioch in the teams' Class 3A Lakes regional semifinal, a small fireworks show briefly took place. "Perfect timing," Lakes coach Ray Gialo said. "Somebody must have been looking out for us, I guess."
Full-throated Fobbe puts it all together for Stevenson May 24, 2013 12:00 AM
Stevenson senior Jordan Fobbe has added a lot to his shot put style over the last few weeks, and with everything he has added, the shot just keeps going farther. So in time for his first throw in the Class 3A shot put event in boys track and field state preliminaries at O'Brien Field on the campus of Eastern Illinois University, Fobbe added a loud grunt that has become ever-so-popular among shot put throwers. Whether it actually adds distance to the outcome remains up for debate, this much isn't: it worked on Friday for Fobbe. His first throw in the prelims was the best he has ever thrown the shot. The loud grunt was accompanied by an equally loud thud as the shot landed 56 feet, 7 inches from the ring. Another personal best throw marked an improvement of 10 feet over the last two weeks and a spot in the finals with the second-best toss from prelims.
Bush leads Stevenson as NSC brings numbers May 23, 2013 12:00 AM
Stevenson lived up to its billing, and its North Suburban Conference brethren stayed in the limelight as well as the first day of the 98th boys tennis state tournament drew to a close Thursday. After brief rainfall welcomed the 64-player singles field at 12 sites near host Hersey in Arlington Heights, Patriots top player Jeremy Bush sent a trio of opponents packing to earn his spot in the fourth round against 17-32 seed Mack Galvin (35-5), a freshman from Rolling Meadows. Their 9 a.m. Friday match will take place at Hersey, where all the singles competition from the championship bracket will be held. Doubles will be contested at Buffalo Grove, where the Patriot team of Colin Harvey/Andrew Komarov (18-2) take on 9-16 seed Naperville Central (Wesley Lo-Sid Swamy). The Patriots’ Pawel Jaworski/Josh Lieberman, 24-4) will take the courts opposite Lake Forest’s Cameron Bagheri/Connor O’Kelly. The tandems split a pair of meetings earlier this season.

A great season for Mundelein’s softball team came to a shocking end Tuesday. Glenbrook South, the No. 17 seed in the 21-team Class 4A Rolling Meadows sectional complex, upset the third-seeded Mustangs 6-4 in the Glenbrook South regional semifinals. The Titans — who will play in Saturday’s 11 a.m. regional final against the winner of today’s game between No. 6 Lake Zurich and No. 11 Glenbrook North — snapped a 4-4 tie with 2 runs in the sixth inning. Mundelein (25-11) got a double from Lauren Fairweather.
Lake Zurich advances; emotional finale for Antioch May 20, 2013 12:00 AM
So much for no crying in volleyball. Antioch volleyball coach Jamie Atkinson wasn't shy about admitting what a fine group of seniors she had to say so long to at the Lake Zurich regional on Monday night. She had some teary good-byes to make to those Sequoits following a competitive regional opener. The home-standing Bears prevailed 25-20, 25-22 to advance to Tuesday's regional semifinal match with a strong Deerfield club.

Warren sophomore Brittny Ellis is back in the running for a state title. Or, rather two state titles, as she advanced near the front of the pack in both the 200- and 400-meter dashes in Class 3A. Ellis won her qualifying 400 qualifying heat in 55.18 on Friday in the girls track and field state meet preliminaries at Eastern Illinois University.
