  Cary-Grove’s Cullen the man at Barrington Feb 9, 2013 12:00 AM
  How do you improve on perfection? Don’t ask Michael Cullen, because the Cary-Grove sophomore still feels he’s a long way from being there. Of course his opponents might feel a little differently if they were asked. Another simply smashing performance from Cullen was put in the books following a dominating 11-1 major decision in his 113-pound final against Colin Kenyon (New Trier, 33-8) at the Class 3A Barrington sectional Saturday. The win sends the Trojans’ star into the 3A state tournament on the front foot, and a well-deserved top 4 seed when things begin Thursday on the big floor of Assembly Hall in Champaign. Cullen (42-0) will be joined by teammate Michael Underwood (138) and Logan Hanselmann (120) both for the first time, after each won in dramatic style in their afternoon state qualifying bouts.

  Cary-Grove tops Grayslake North in FVC ‘championship’ game Feb 8, 2013 12:00 AM
  The Fox Valley Conference may continue to choose not to call it a championship game, but don’t tell that to the players or coaches from Cary-Grove and Grayslake North. The Trojans and Knights played with all the intensity of any championship affair Friday night when the FVC division champions met in Cary-Grove’s Elroy Fitzgerald Gymnasium. And when all was said and done, Cary-Grove’s girls basketball team had come away with its third straight “unofficial” FVC crown after holding off the Knights 56-48. “It was definitely one of our goals to make it to the crossover championship game,” said Cary-Grove senior Olivia Jakubicek, who scored a game-high 24 points for the Trojans. “Even though they don’t call it a championship game we wanted to give a championship effort.”
