  • Harvest Christian dumps Alden-Hebron Feb 18, 2013 12:00 AM
    Sometimes a win can be motivated not by skill or game plan, but by intangibles. Monday night in a Class 1A Westminster Christian regional play-in game in Elgin, Harvest Christian had a host of them to choose from. Behind door No. 1 was the flu bug. Behind door No. 2 was the fact that Harvest learned of a back injury to 6-foot 7 Jon Vislisel and his 13.8 points and 7.1 rebounds per game that will keep him out the rest of the postseason. Couple that with door No. 3, its worst loss of the season to Faith Lutheran last Friday, and it was evident the deck was stacked against the Lions. The Lions instead (17-10) used those subplots to fuel their first regional playoff win in school history, which they did behind an inspired cast of characters led by senior Stuart Wolff, whose 17 points and 14 rebounds helped No. 4 seed Harvest Christian snag a 52-41 win over No. 5 Alden-Hebron.

Claire Speweik, who had a game-high 15 points to go with 4 steals, scored 8 first-quarter points that helped spark a frantic pace for the Warriors (23-4), who outscored the Lions (7-20) 23-3 and forced 13 turnovers. in the first 8 minutes.

    Westminster Christian motivated for postseason Feb 2, 2013 12:00 AM
    Talk about being motivated. If you don’t think the Westminster Christian girls basketball team isn’t geared up for the upcoming postseason, then you probably don’t think a Harbaugh is going to win the Super Bowl today. When Seton Academy’s Brittany Mitchell buried a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give her team a 45-42 win over Westminster in the 2012 sectional final at Willows Academy, the Warriors immediately started thinking about this season. And now all the pieces would appear to be in place for Westminster to make another deep run into the postseason, and the Warriors don’t mince their words — they want to play at Redbird Arena in the Class 1A Final Four on Feb. 22.
