  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.

  Perfect finish for Dolezal, Barrington in MSL May 13, 2013 12:00 AM
  Perfection was the word of the day for Barrington's softball team. The Fillies ended a perfect season in the Mid-Suburban West with a perfect game from sophomore pitcher Keenan Dolezal.

The 1-0 victory gave Barrington its first West crown since 2009 and 16th divisional crown in school history.

  It seemed like an eternity for John Roncone, but his tennis team from Barrington is back on top for the first time since 2010.

Barrington outscored Fremd by 14 points, 61-47. Prospect took third with 34.
