After the Conant boys gymnastics sectional Saturday in Hoffman Estates, Conant’s Joey Mauk was encouraged by his teammates, family and friends to climb on top of the parallel bars. Mauk sheepishly complied and then stood with each foot on a bar, with his arms crossed, looking like royalty. Mauk had all the reason to look like a king after conquering the parallel bars earlier with a state-record 9.90. Mauk’s score helped Conant win the sectional with a 154.60 to earn the team’s first trip to state finals in three years. The Cougars will compete for the state title with seven other teams next Friday at Lincoln-Way East in Frankfort.

Logan giving Palatine a leadoff lift Apr 6, 2013 12:00 AM
Last season, Lauren Logan was an all-area catcher who batted No. 3 in the Palatine batting order. But Palatine veteran softball coach Jeff Manz had an eye on Logan's eye. "The reason we moved her to our leadoff hitter was because she has such a good eye," Manz said. "And she is the best contact hitter we have. When she gets on base, good things happen." Logan, who has committed to Missouri-St. Louis, played her leadoff role to perfection on Saturday at The Ballpark at Rosemont. The left-handed hitting senior went 4-for-4 with 2 runs and an RBI as the Pirates topped Leyden 9-7.
