  2011-2012 Lake County Academic Team May 25, 2012 12:00 AM
  For the 2011-12 Lake County Academic Team, high school was just the beginning, of what they hope will be lives of discovery, success, and service. "When I was in fourth grade, my uncle died from cancer," relates Jonathan Kersky, a team member from Stevenson High School. "It was at that early age that I decided I wanted to be an oncologist."
  

   

• Stevenson’s Bush blossoms in big win over Bloom May 25, 2012 12:00 AM
  Boys tennis coaches at state meets get to sit and coach courtside for the big matches, beginning with the quarterfinals. Assistant coach Jeff Zanchelli performed the duty for Stevenson at Friday's singles quarterfinal between Patriots junior Jeremy Bush and Hinsdale Central senior Sam Bloom at Hersey. Bush, seeded 5-8, thumped second-seeded Bloom 6-3, 6-1 in toasty Arlington Heights. The expression Bush wore while warming up for the match was identical to the one he sported during match point: placid. "I heard him breathing on (court) changeovers," said Zanchelli. "Even that was calm. Jeremy was so composed from the beginning of the match until the end, and he played with so much belief in himself." Mark Linnenberger, another Patriots assistant, also marveled at Bush's burning desire to remain cool. "Not once did Jeremy show a negative emotion in that match," Linnenberger said. "Not after missing a shot he should've made or after Sam hit a winner on a big point. Jeremy was in control and it showed — for the entire match. "That win," he added, "has to be one of the biggest wins in program history."

• Super win suits Stevenson May 23, 2012 12:00 AM
  Tim Crow's 5-year-old daughter ran excitedly toward him to give celebratory hugs, or just plain old daddy hugs. Then the 3-year-old son of Stevenson's boys volleyball coach did the same, while wife Jen held the couple's 1-year-old boy. The trio of color-coordinated Crow kids all wore "super fan" T-shirts made by mommy. Crow's other kids, "the ones I see more than my own," he said, were done running around for the night. The Patriots were celebrating on their home court after outlasting Carmel Catholic 25-20, 25-20 in the teams' regional final in Lincolnshire on Wednesday. "There's a lot of sharing right now," said Crow, Stevenson's girls volleyball coach, too. "My wife is incredible."

• Duprey has Carmel connection at Millikin May 21, 2012 12:00 AM
  Carmel senior Sam Duprey, who made 71 tackles last fall for the Corsairs football team, plans to tackle the books at Millikin University this fall. But while majoring in education, the East Suburban Catholic Conference all-conference defensive end will also continue his football career for coach Patrick Etherton. "We are very excited that Sam will be attending Millikin," Etherton said. "Sam comes from an outstanding high school program and we feel the familiarity of having coach (Dan) Potempa (former Carmel assistant now at Millikin) as a high school coach will help Sam adjust to football at Millikin."
