Homers put St. Edward in regional final May 16, 2013 12:00 AM
The wind didn’t blow at gale force Thursday afternoon in Elgin. Perhaps 10-15 mph sustained. But the warm, southerly wind blew straight up the hill upon which Westminster Christian’s tony baseball diamond sits and straight out to left field, thereby creating a lifting effect that turned any flyball hit in that direction from ordinary to extraordinary. St. Edward hit 2 such flies: Jack Tierney’s first-inning, 2-run home run and Tighe Koehring’s solo shot to lead off the bottom of the fourth inning. Koehring’s home run gave No. 2 St. Edward a 3-2 lead it never relinquished in a Class 2A regional semifinal victory over No. 3 Aurora Christian.

Jacobs blanks Dundee-Crown May 15, 2013 12:00 AM
Jacobs baseball coach Jaime Murray was jogging back to the dugout Wednesday after the bottom of the second inning and asked his team, "Are we going to swing the bat today?" The Golden Eagles had struck out five times — four looking — in the first two innings. They swung the bat enough in the third, despite striking out three more times, and scored a run on their first 2 hits of the game. That was enough as Jacobs defeated Dundee-Crown, 5-0, after scoring 4 insurance runs in the sixth.

St. Edward stays true to form in sectional semi May 14, 2013 12:00 AM
What has become evident through three postseason games for the St. Edward girls soccer team is that at the very least, seven-goal wins are simply the norm. And Tuesday's win over Woodlands Academy was no exception. Just as they disposed of Elgin Academy (8-0) and Westminster Christian (7-0) similarly last week in regionals, the Green Wave yet again put on a show early in a 7-0 win over the Wildcats in a Class 1A Westminster Christian sectional semifinal in Elgin.
Crystal Lake South blanks Dundee-Crown May 14, 2013 12:00 AM
The postseason couldn't have started out any better for the Crystal Lake South girls soccer team. The Gators dominated possession and kept Dundee-Crown from getting any good scoring opportunity Tuesday as CL South defeated the Chargers, 5-0, in the semifinals of the Class 3A Crystal Lake South regional. "It's good motivation to help us get through," said Gators senior Mackenzie Taldone, who scored the final 2 goals. "We've definitely been put as underdogs during the conference so we're definitely going to push through regionals and show people who we actually are."

Hampshire HS senior hopes to make a career out of film May 13, 2013 12:00 AM
When Danny Heck was in eighth grade, he and his friends made an Indiana Jones movie with a camcorder. He had such a good time it prompted some research into the film industry and how one could go about breaking into it. Heck, now a senior at Hampshire High School, has worked with Nicole Thompson, the high school librarian, and the District 300 Foundation over the last year on videos for school and district events. "That's when I really knew that this is what I wanted to do with the rest of my life," Heck said.
