Glenbard North sends 7 to stateFeb 15, 2014 12:00 AM
With 12 out of 14 wrestlers qualifying for the state tournament, and 10 of them winning the sectional, Oak Park-River Forest continued it run of dominance Saturday at the Leyden sectional in Franklin Park. But that did not deter wrestlers from other schools from flexing muscles of their own. Glenbard North was able to qualify seven of the 11 athletes it sent to Leyden, with Jared Cortez (132 pounds) and Jon Marmolejo (126) winning their weight class. Kirk Johansen (106), Austin Gomez (113), Patrick Augustyn (120) Colton Wegner (170) all finished third with Luke Greenberg (195) qualifying and finishing fourth in his weight class for the Panthers.

Larkin takes it to GenevaFeb 14, 2014 12:00 AM
The way Larkin coach Deryn Carter saw it, Friday’s game against visiting Geneva “had reached a tipping point.” Carter’s Royals pressured coach Phil Ralston’s Vikings defensively the entire game, hounding them up the court, along the perimeter, whatever was necessary to keep Geneva from executing half-court offense the way it likes. The Vikings weathered the pressure well enough to take a 1-point lead on sophomore Loudon Volbrecht’s transition layup with 6:08 left in the fourth quarter. Then the Royals ratcheted their defense up a notch higher. Larkin began trapping on the perimeter and “running guys at guys,” as Carter put it. The resulting chaos caused a couple of Geneva turnovers and 3 missed shots in a short span, and Larkin guard Derrick Streety capitalized. The three-year varsity guard scored 8 points in a decisive 10-0 spurt that helped the Royals pull away for a 67-53 victory in the Upstate Eight River.

Another regional crown for Glenbard North Feb 8, 2014 12:00 AM
Glenbard North's Jon Marmolejo and Larkin's Duke Bogicevic entered the 126-pound championship match of the Class 3A South Elgin wrestling regional Saturday with a combined 81-2 record. The match wasn't much of a contest. Marmolejo dominated Bogicevic and won by fall 43 seconds into the third period. Marmolejo was leading 14-1 at the time. “My goal was to pin him, obviously,” said Marmolejo, a senior. “I knew he was going to come out strong. I just had to wear him out eventually. The pin came along.” Marmolejo's title was one of eight individual championships for the Panthers, who had wrestlers in 12 of the 14 title matches. Glenbard North won the team title with 263.5 points, easily distancing itself from St. Charles East (182). Geneva (117) was third followed by South Elgin (103.5) and Bartlett (79.50). The regional title is the 24th in program history for the Panthers.
Geneva handles Streamwood Feb 7, 2014 12:00 AM
With three 6-foot-7 players on Geneva’s frontline, Streamwood had to pick its poison Friday: pack in its defense to defend the basket or try denying the Vikings’ stellar 3-point shooters. After giving up 44 points in the paint in a 66-47 loss to the Vikings in December, the Sabres chose the former option, hoping to mask their size disadvantage with no starter taller than 6-2.
