• Lake Park holds off upstart GenevaMay 23, 2012 12:00 AM
  When Lake Park began its current streak of four straight regional championships in 2009, the Geneva boys volleyball program did not yet exist. The champions of Upstate Eight Conference Valley Division (Lancers) and River (Vikings, shared with St. Charles East) met Wednesday night with the Larkin regional championship on the line. Lake Park and its tradition had a little too much firepower for the new kids on the block in a 25-13, 23-25, 25-17 victory.
  

   

• No. 16 Bartlett shocks top seed Geneva May 23, 2012 12:00 AM
  Bartlett walked into the baseball postseason very relaxed. As the No. 1 seed, Geneva had all the pressure on it. After taking a 1-0 lead in the third inning, Bartlett continued to apply that pressure in a semifinal game of the Class 4A Lake Park regional in Roselle Wednesday. Geneva was never able to get the bats going and Bartlett scored both of its runs during innings in which it did not record a hit. With the shocking 2-0 win, the 16th-seeded Hawks (18-19) await the winner of today's game between Glenbard West and Lake Park in Saturday's 11 a.m. championship game.

  St. Charles N. ousts Geneva May 22, 2012 12:00 AM
  At the start of Tuesday's Class 3A Schaumburg Sectional semifinal with Geneva, St. Charles North's Kenzie Rose sported a clean, white headband on her forehead. By the end of the match, that headband was more gray than white, and the smudge that she put on that cloth in the ninth minute of play should be autographed by all the North Stars. That mark came as Rose rose to meet Kelly Manski's left wing corner kick. Rose headed the ball into the net, which certainly set the underdogs on their way to an eventual 2-0 victory.

  Kaneland aims to maintain focus and recapture the magic May 21, 2012 12:00 AM
  Here we go again. Believe it or not, it has been nearly a year since Kaneland captured the Class 3A state baseball championship with an 11-3 victory over Oak Forest. "Looking back at it, it was a blur," said Knights coach Brian Aversa. "You have to enjoy it while it lasts. Before I knew it, we were playing on a Saturday for the state championship. "It was great." Despite graduating a ton of talent from last year's team, Kaneland finds itself in a similar position heading into this week's postseason tournament — as the top seed in the regional.

  A feel-good finish for Kummer, Batavia May 14, 2012 12:00 AM
  Every once in a while, though not very often, a real life sports competition concludes with a Hollywood movie-style ending. You know, the sort where everything happens in the most dramatic way possible at the very end despite the odds being against it. That was the case Monday afternoon at the Upstate Eight Conferences River Division tennis tournament in Batavia, as the Bulldogs rallied to pull off a surprise in the team standings, giving retiring coach Bob Kummer a going-away present he wont ever forget. Ive always coached to win, and I can tell you that championships are the greatest memories you can have as a player or coach, Kummer said. I am ecstatic, and every one of my players shares in this.
