  Barrington’s Scarbrough has reason to smile May 25, 2012 12:00 AM
  Barrington's AJ Scarbrough is usually smiling and he had a good reason for it during Friday's Class 3A state track prelims in Charleston. Scarbrough set a school-record in the triple jump and leads the field going into Saturday's finals. Hersey's Mark Balmes also advanced in the shot put and discus and Conant's Ben Bowers qualified in the high jump and 110 hurdles.

  Barrington claims 4th straight sectional May 25, 2012 12:00 AM
  Aimee Pierce stood between freshmen Jenna Szczesny and Kelsey Muniez encouraging them in their postgame interviews. But this wasn't a typical situation for a sectional championship team. After all, Muniez had only played on the Barrington varsity team for a month and hadn't scored a goal. Szczesny has been on the Fillies' varsity squad, but it has been the playoffs where she has started to become a constant scoring threat. Each freshman scored goals in Barrington's 2-0 victory over Huntley in the Class 3A Rockford Boylan sectional, giving the Fillies a fourth-straight sectional crown.
  

   

• Barrington’s Coll-Parekh exit after standout season May 25, 2012 12:00 AM
  After a cameo in the round of 16 at the state tennis tournament, the Barrington team of George Coll and Varun Parekh bid farewell to its doubles opponents in the championship bracket. One round later, the Broncos standout duo fell in three sets to Bloomington's Ricky Zamudio-Nathan Cavanaugh at Buffalo Grove late Friday afternoon, ending their tournament run. The straight-set loss finished a marvelous postseason which included a Mid-Suburban League title, a second-place finish at the Schaumburg sectional and a 3-2 state tournament record following a 6-1, 4-6, 4-6 defeat to the Bloomington tandem.

  Elgin’s big 7th does in Barrington May 24, 2012 12:00 AM
  When Barrington's Macray Poidomani smashed a 3-run homer to center field in the bottom of the fourth inning into a strong wind to break a 1-1 tie, Elgin could have easily waved the white flag much like the winds did all afternoon. Elgin's Ryan Sitter accounted for the only Maroons' hit up to that point and with the lack of run support all season, Elgin could have started Memorial Day weekend early. But Elgin answered right back with 3 runs in the fifth to tie it and then came the unexpected, granddaddy seventh, where the Maroons rallied for 8 runs on 3 Bronco errors to take a 12-5 comeback win in a Class 4A Larkin regional semifinal.

• Barrington has OT magic against Boylan May 22, 2012 12:00 AM
  Barrington's Alex Avers knew exactly where Rockford Boylan goalkeeper Shelby Sonnefeldt was going to be. It just took her a little while to get a shot off. When Avers did get that shot it turned out to be a game-closer, as she drilled it past Sonnefeldt in the second overtime of the Boylan Class 3A sectional semifinal Tuesday. Avers took a pass from Jenna Szczesny in the first minute of the second overtime and put it in the back of the net to give the Fillies a 3-2 win.
