  • Burlington Central cruises past Sycamore May 21, 2013 12:00 AM
    Bill Gajewski will be out looking for a new puppy. But his daughter Melanie, Burlington Central’s senior third baseman, will be choosing the breed and the color. A few years ago, Bill made the mistake — or maybe it was incentive — of telling Melanie that if she ever hit a home run in a regional game, he’d buy her a puppy, as he did for Melanie’s older sister Lizzie when she cranked one in a regional game for the Rockets at Kaneland. Now it’s time to pay up, dad. Melanie Gajewski’s home run was the final of three Burlington Central round-trippers in a 7-run third inning Tuesday, which catapulted the Rockets to an 11-1 win in six innings over host Sycamore in Class 3A regional semifinal action.

  • Sporting All The Benefits May 20, 2013 12:00 AM
    Do you think sports are all fun and games? While that is not incorrect, the truth of the matter lies in the obvious fact that a child who participates in a sport is offered far more benefits than just having an enjoyable time. Although some may argue participating in a sport is a distraction and a time consuming activity, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention declares otherwise. Childhood obesity has reached an all time high, doubling in children and tripling in adolescents over the past 30 years. In 2010, more than one third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese. With obesity becoming such a prevalent issue, it is no fallacy that children need to increase their physical activity, and what better way to start then by participating in a sport.

  •  Huntley’s Omo Tseumah wins the high jump Saturday at the Class 3A girls state track and field finals at O’Brien Stadium at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston.

    Huntley’s Tseumah state high jump champ May 18, 2013 12:00 AM
    Omo Tseumah took a calculated gamble. But it paid off handsomely for the Huntley senior in her return engagement with Lyons Township sophomore Emma Haugen. Last year at the girls Class 3A state track and field meet, Haugen defeated Tseumah for the championship in the high jump. Tseumah made a bold move as the two dueled once again on Saturday at Eastern Illinois University. "I decided to skip 5-(feet)-5," Tseumah said. The Marquette-bound senior then made her three following heights at 5-6, 5-7 and 5-8.
