• Diligently, Deerfield outlasts Grant Apr 5, 2013 12:00 AM
  Every inning seemed to be a long one when Grant hosted Deerfield in a nonconference baseball game on a cold and windy Friday afternoon in Fox Lake. But the biggest inning in a game where neither team could cleanly retire the side in order turned a promising beginning into a long and slow march to the finish for Grant. Deerfield turned a 3-run deficit into a 3-run lead in the fourth and was on its way to an 11-5 victory in six innings.

• Color Kohler, Lakes a winner Feb 16, 2013 12:00 AM
  Orange isn’t one of the school colors at Lakes. But the boys basketball team added some orange socks to its uniform on Saturday night for its game against visiting Deerfield. Just for the seniors, though. “All the seniors went out to the mall to get some socks for Senior Night,” Lakes senior guard Jake Kohler said. “We wanted something different, something to help the seniors stand out.” Kohler stood out anyway. With 10 seconds remaining in a tie game, he got his number called for his team’s last shot at the basket. Kohler posted up on the block, hauled in a pass from his teammate and made a strong move to the basket. His bucket with 3.6 seconds remaining, followed by a defensive stand by Kohler and his teammates in the final moments, sealed a 58-56 victory for Lakes, which improves to 21-6 on the season.

  He wasn’t the leading scorer, and he won’t make ESPN for a highlight reel dunk, but this was still very much a night that Warren senior Timmy Pieper will not soon forget.

• Big adjustment benefits Naperville Central Dec 27, 2012 12:00 AM
  It seemed Naperville Central’s magical control of the court at the Wildcat Hardwood Classic might be in jeopardy Thursday night. The Redhawks were foundering around out on the court, knotted at 8-8 after one with a Deerfield team that had flustered them out of their up-tempo rhythm. The Warriors, with an upset of Prospect already notched in this tournament at Wheeling, appeared ready to topple the defending champs too, especially when 6-foot-9 center Nick Czarnowski went to the bench in foul trouble. Not to worry, Naperville. The Redhawks fell back on their trademark, turnover-driven defense and turned those Warrior miscues into opportunity baskets en route to a 65-46 quarterfinal victory and a spot in Friday’s 8:45 p.m. semifinal against Notre Dame, a 63-44 winner over Carmel.
  

   

• Porter’s 3 lifts Deerfield past Prospect Dec 26, 2012 12:00 AM
  Funny thing about 3-point shot attempts. Sometimes it doesn't matter how many you miss as long as you make one at the perfect time. Prospect found that out the hard way at the 35th annual Wheeling Hardwood Classic, thanks to Deerfield guard Eric Porter. The junior nailed a long, off-balance, falling-out-of bounds 3 at the buzzer as Warriors defeated the Knights 46-43.

• Victory reflects well on Deerfield Sep 28, 2012 12:00 AM
  For Maine West and Deerfield on Friday night, it was like looking into a mirror. Both 1-4 squads were nicknamed Warriors, riding four-game losing streaks looking for their first wins since opening night. Both teams also came in running the same option offense and base defense. But it was Maine West who failed to mirror Deerfield in all facets of the game. Deerfield (2-4, 0-2) rolled to a 35-7 Central Suburban North victory against Maine West (1-5, 0-2) to pick up its first win in over a month.
