• Obama administration protecting extremists May 14, 2013 12:00 AM
  A Buffalo Grove letter to the editor: Most people acknowledge that the vast majority of Muslims are peaceful. However, this administration appears to want to protect radical Islamist Muslims. When a U.S. Army major killed 13 soldiers at Fort Hood while screaming praises to Allah, President Obama's first words were "let's not jump to conclusions."

  Slot Mundelein as NSC Lake champs May 13, 2013 12:00 AM
  On Monday in Lincolnshire, Mundelein's Mitch Schulewitz was handed the ball to secure a Lake Division title for the Mustangs. And the UIC-bound right-hander was brilliant, stopping Stevenson on three singles. He needed to be that good. That's because his mound opponent, Iowa-bound Matt Allen, was almost as sharp. Allen at least can tell a story about how his team committed 4 errors in the first inning yet allowed just one runner to score. Mundelein (24-3) clinched North Suburban Conference Lake Division title with a 3-0 win.

  Last month, Rolling Meadows senior pitcher Sara Brunlieb received a birthday present of four tickets for Brad Paisley's country music concert on Saturday night in Tinley Park.

Barton, Buffalo Grove's senior third baseman, lined a two-out double to right center for the game-winning RBI as the Bison blanked the visiting Mustangs 2-0 in the Mid-Suburban East contest.
