Youthful St. Charles North searching for consistency May 13, 2013 12:00 AM
Perhaps St. Charles North baseball coach Todd Genke should have figured this would be a challenging season when the team's annual trip to downstate Marion was shortened due to a late-March snowstorm. Whatever the case, it definitely has not been business as usual for the North Stars this season.
Marmion wins sixth straight SCC title May 11, 2013 12:00 AM
The odds were stacked overwhelmingly against the nearest Marmion pursuers Saturday morning and afternoon in Wheaton. The Cadets, unblemished in regular-season Suburban Christian Conference boys tennis dual meets, were seeking a sixth consecutive league championship. Marmion was almost as flawless at St. Francis during the conference tournament, scoring 13 out of a possible 15 points by capturing all three doubles championships and second singles en route to 20 total points.
Marmion handles pressure, wins SCC againMay 8, 2013 12:00 AM
There's nothing wrong with a little pressure. Marmion's John Graft felt it Wednesday. Set to launch into the 1,600-meter run he was told that with a win the Cadets could clinch the Suburban Christian Conference boys track and field championship. On the home track of Marmion's greatest conference rival, no less, Aurora Central Catholic.

Marmion rallies against Aurora Central Catholic May 2, 2013 12:00 AM
While the rain has been a pain for pretty much every area baseball and softball team this spring, Marmion might have had the worst of it. The Cadets entered their Suburban Christian Conference crossover at home against Aurora Central Catholic Thursday with just 13 games on the season. When it rains on their home field, there's little the Cadets can do to get the game in.
Remaining SCC schools left with uncertain future May 2, 2013 12:00 AM
The question is, Now what? In the wake of the Metro Suburban Conference Board of Control's unanimous vote Wednesday to accept seven current Suburban Christian Conference schools effective the 2014-15 academic year, it leaves Montini, St. Francis, Marmion, Rosary, Aurora Christian and Marian Central taken by surprise and twisting in the wind.
Rosary rides its depth to win SCC May 1, 2013 12:00 AM
At a girls track and field invitational, the four relays are worth their weight in gold. Rosary came away with a mini-version of Fort Knox Wednesday at home, scoring 38 out of a possible 40 points with three victories and a runner-up result. The Royals' relay dominance, bolstered by consistency in the other 14 events, enabled the squad to capture their first Suburban Christian Conference title in three years with 146.5 points in Aurora.

FieldTurf making East Side Complex a popular place Apr 30, 2013 12:00 AM
There are a number of advantages in being a resident of St. Charles. Both of the city's high schools — St. Charles North (21st) and St. Charles East (39th) — were recently named to the "Top 50" annual list published by U.S. News & World Report that ranks each state's high schools. They were the only 2 Kane County high schools to make the list. Both high schools were also recognized as Blue Ribbon Schools by the U.S. Department of Education.

It was matter of two arms being better than one. Utilizing the combined efforts of freshman Lindsay Zdroik and sophomore Angela Zenteno, St. Edward was able to produce a 5-2 win over Aurora Central Catholic in Suburban Christian Conference action at the Elgin Sports Complex Thursday afternoon.
Rain takes its toll on St. Francis’ Marren Apr 23, 2013 12:00 AM
It was good weather for ducks, as they say, but not for Brendan Marren.
Expected to be good, Batavia baseball, Saints softball better than advertised Apr 15, 2013 12:00 AM
Prior to the start of the high school — I can't wait until it actually starts feeling like — spring season, two local teams were included among the annual preview stories. Nothing fancy, nothing new. Overlooked by some, Batavia's baseball team began its season last month with a game that wasn't even listed on its original schedule.
Kaneland claims title at East Moline Apr 6, 2013 12:00 AM
Showing strength over all three levels, Kaneland won East Moline's United Township Kiwanis Invitational for the first time in its seven trips there. "It was one of those where we hit on almost every cylinder," said Knights coach Eric Baron. "We scored in every event." Getting what Baron called "a pleasant surprise" out of pole vaulter Dylan Kuiper and a personal-best shot put mark of 52 feet, 4 inches from Nate Dyer among many highlights, Kaneland's 260 points topped United's 220.50, Geneseo's 204 and Rock Island's 184.

Scouting Tri-Cities area boys volleyball teamsMar 22, 2013 12:00 AM
In just its second year with a boys volleyball program in 2012, Geneva went 17-12 and tied St. Charles East for the Upstate Eight Conference River title. While starting a team can often lead to years of growing pains and losing seasons, Vikings coach KC Johnsen thinks he knows why the Vikings have been successful so quickly. "We've been lucky that some really good athletes have decided to give volleyball a try," Johnsen said. "That makes a lot of difference. They pick it up very fast and move well on the court and are competitive guys and jump a little bit. Makes it a quicker jump start. (We wouldn't have won so fast) if we didn't have such good athletes."
