• Barrington’s Coll-Parekh exit after standout season May 25, 2012 12:00 AM
  After a cameo in the round of 16 at the state tennis tournament, the Barrington team of George Coll and Varun Parekh bid farewell to its doubles opponents in the championship bracket. One round later, the Broncos standout duo fell in three sets to Bloomington's Ricky Zamudio-Nathan Cavanaugh at Buffalo Grove late Friday afternoon, ending their tournament run. The straight-set loss finished a marvelous postseason which included a Mid-Suburban League title, a second-place finish at the Schaumburg sectional and a 3-2 state tournament record following a 6-1, 4-6, 4-6 defeat to the Bloomington tandem.

  Elgin Academy’s Vogel bows out at state May 24, 2012 12:00 AM
  Charlie Vogel's terrific tennis career came to an end Thursday afternoon when the Elgin Academy star lost his second match of the day at the state tournament, but not without treating perhaps the largest, and most loyal fan group at the Hoffman Estates High School. With several members of his family and friends on hand, plus nearly a dozen special young guests courtside, Vogel would win his opener over Pranv Puri of Moline, before losing in straight-sets to 9-16 seed Scott Christian from Lake Forest.
  

   

• Hampshire’s Bram steps down May 22, 2012 12:00 AM
  When Ken Bram came into the Hampshire softball program seven years ago he admits he knew little about softball. "I played baseball all my life but when I started here I hadn't watched one inning of a softball game," said Bram, who was an assistant that first year and the Whip-Purs' head coach the past six seasons. Bram announced earlier this month that this would be his last season coaching, and Tuesday's 13-4 loss to Burlington Central in the Class 3A regional semifinal at Central marked the end of his tenure in the Hampshire dugout.
  

   

• Burlington Central comes back to beat Hampshire May 22, 2012 12:00 AM
  Burlington Central softball coach Cray Allen did not want his Rockets to be "that team." "I did not want to be that story that got out to all the rest of the teams by 6:30," Allen said. "We didn't want to be that team." But until the bottom of the fifth inning on Rocket Hill Tuesday, it looked like Twitter and Facebook might be lighting up with some upset news. The No. 8 Rockets righted the ship in time, though, scoring 9 runs in their final two at-bats to beat Hampshire 13-4 in one semifinal of the Class 3A Burlington Central regional.

  Elgin snags 1st sectional title since 1988 May 19, 2012 12:00 AM
  Elgin's Eric Chai and Sakda Kethdy were momentarily distracted during their third-place match on Saturday at the IHSA Elgin boys tennis sectional. The duo couldn't help but cheer as teammate Mikel Canovas won his first singles title by pulling off an upset of South Elgin's Andre Norasith in 3 sets (4-6, 6-4, 6-2). Chai and Kethdy quickly refocused and scored a 3-set victory over Jacobs' Kingsley Bernardo and Kristian Bernardo (7-5, 2-6, 7-5). The victories sent Elgin to its first sectional team title since 1988 on its own court with the Maroons (21 points) just edging out defending sectional champion South Elgin (20).

  Two programs with longstanding traditions of bringing home medals from the IHSA girls track and field state finals hope to continue leaving Charleston with hardware this weekend when the state finals commence for three classes at Eastern Illinois University's O'Brien Field.
