  • St. Bede ends Aurora Christian’s record-setting season Feb 11, 2013 12:00 AM
    A school record for wins, a first conference title and a first regional championship — there certainly were plenty of firsts this year for Aurora Christian's girls basketball program. The first sectional win? That will have to wait, but with 14 of 15 players returning next year, it might not have to wait for long. Aurora Christian nearly made more history Monday against St. Bede at the Class 2A Somonauk sectional, erasing a 9-point halftime deficit with one of its typical second-half surges. The Eagles came all the way back to take a brief lead in the fourth quarter. In the end St. Bede's 6-foot-3 post Morgan Dean proved too much to handle. Dean scored 15 straight points for her team spanning the late second quarter through nearly the entire fourth, helping the Lady Bruins (18-15) hold on for a 47-41 victory.
