Crystal Lake Central makes first-half edge hold up Sep 28, 2012 12:00 AM
A famous shampoo brand taught us many years ago that you never get a second chance to make a first impression. That theory was certainly on display at Owen Metcalf Field in Crystal Lake Friday night.

Ryan Craig, Huntley nab FVC championships Sep 27, 2012 12:00 AM

That knowledge worked to his advantage Wednesday when the standout shot a 2-under par 70 to win the individual Fox Valley Conference Tournament title by 5 strokes, thereby leading the Red Raiders to their second straight FVC team title.
Crystal Lake S. bests Crystal Lake C. Aug 31, 2012 12:00 AM
Lake Larson dreamt of this day since he was a little kid. In some ways, some still might look at him as that little kid, The Crystal Lake South defensive back, who features a 5-foot-7, 175-pound frame that seems even shorter in person, might be one of the shorter kids on the field. But don't let that size fool you. He's the perfect example of what to do when your number gets called when a teammate goes down. Larson, who filled in for an injured Brandon LaPak and looked for redemption in his senior season return after not playing his junior year, played more like Brian Urlacher on Friday and was instrumental in South's 16-6 Fox Valley Conference crossover win over crosstown rival Crystal Lake Central at Ken Bruhn Field in front of roughly 4,000 fans
Final drive thwarts Huntley Aug 25, 2012 12:00 AM

Instead, a costly fumble inside the Crystal Lake Central 10-yard line with under 2 minutes remaining opened up the worst case scneario for the Red Raiders and one last chance for the Tigers.
FVC Fox competitive top to bottom Aug 22, 2012 12:00 AM
A football team has to be pretty sly these days to win the competitive Fox Division of the Fox Valley Conference outright. Three teams shared the Fox Division crown last season: Crystal Lake Central (6-4, 5-1), Grayslake Central (7-3, 5-1) and third-year program Woodstock North (7-3, 5-1). All three made the playoffs but lost in the first round. CL Central looks like the team to beat in this year's FVC Fox hunt, according to most league coaches, but the Tigers will likely be challenged by offensive powerhouse Grayslake North and skilled Woodstock North.

CL Central outlasts Grayslake Central Feb 14, 2012 12:00 AM
It’s hard to ask for a better defensive performance in the fourth quarter than what the Grayslake Central Rams put forth in a Fox Valley Conference Fox Division clash at Crystal Lake Central on Tuesday night. The Rams held the Tigers scoreless for virtually the entire period and limited the home team to just 8 shots while forcing 7 turnovers in the final quarter. But the one shot the Tigers hit proved to be the biggest shot of the night. An offensive rebound and putback from junior Kyle Fleck with 55 seconds left in the game were the only points of the final quarter for the Tigers. It proved to be just enough. Fleck’s bucket nearly was overshadowed by a 3-point attempt from Grayslake’s Danny Reed that just rimmed away as time expired, giving the Tigers a heart-stopping 57-55 win over the Rams.
