Goll, Stevenson soak up a victory at Glenbrook N. May 31, 2013 12:00 AM
So filthy good was Mitchell Goll’s shot that he might never better it. During a second-inning at-bat in Friday’s Class 4A Glenbrook North sectional semifinal, the Stevenson junior fouled a pitch by Glenbrook South’s Kyle Pauly over the backstop. The baseball splashed into a garbage can filled with soggy contents due to Thursday’s downpour. “Did it really?” said Goll, who was unaware of his funny foul ball. Nothing but wet. Goll hit another shot in the fourth. It was fair. And far. His first varsity home run erased a 2-0 deficit, and he and his teammates continued to execute en route to a 6-4 upset of second-seeded Glenbrook South in Northbrook. No. 6 Stevenson (21-11) will face No. 5 Libertyville (25-11) at 11 a.m. Saturday in a showdown of North Suburban Conference Lake Division rivals. The Patriots and Wildcats split their two games during NSC Lake play.

The Pirates trailed by as many as 9 in the third quarter against Glenbrook South after taking an early 5-point lead. And while they made it interesting with some hot shooting in the final minute, Palatine ultimately suffered a 49-46 setback to Glenbrook South in nonconference action Tuesday.

A dream finish for Stevenson Oct 30, 2012 12:00 AM
A longtime dream became reality Tuesday as Stevenson’s boys soccer program earned its first-ever trip into the final four. “It’s a dream — it’s always been a dream,” said Stevenson coach Mark Schartner, who is in his 25th year of coaching the Patriots. “You don’t play necessarily for this moment. You play every game the best you can. The chips fall your way and you get to keep playing. “This season is very enjoyable because of the length of it. But they all have been great.” Stevenson shut out Glenbrook North 2-0 in the Class 3A Glenbrook South supersectional in Glenview.
