Arogundade, St. Viator solve Highland Park Feb 27, 2013 12:00 AM
Against the zone, Ore Arogundade was in a zone. The St. Viator junior guard is used to seeing man-to-man defenses during the course of the regular season. That’s what most teams in the East Suburban Catholic Conference play. But on Wednesday in Class 4A regional action at Warren, Arogundade made a living at finding the gaps and holes in Highland Park’s zone defense, to the tune of a game-high 28 points. Two of Arogundade’s teammates also scored in double-figures as St. Viator notched a 67-56 victory over Highland Park and “zoned in” on Friday’s regional championship game. The third-seeded Lions (19-8) will face the winner of tonight’s clash between No. 6 Warren and No. 11 Barrington.

Late rally from Maine West not quite enough Nov 29, 2012 12:00 AM
Talk about a strong finish. Unfortunately, it wasn't quite enough for the Maine West's girls basketball team. The Warriors almost scored as many points in the fourth quarter as they did the entire first three periods on Thursday night in Des Plaines. However, their 24 points in the final eight minutes could not overcome visiting Highland Park and Yale recruit Lena Munzer's big performance. The 5-foot-8 senior poured home 30 points with 15 rebounds as the Giants held on for a 53-51 victory in the Central Suburban North season opener.
New-look Prospect passes first test Nov 19, 2012 12:00 AM
Prospect had a lot of questions coming into its boys basketball season opener against Highland Park. Where would the offense come after losing 90 percent of its scoring via graduation? How would the Knights fare without leading returning scorer Devin O'Hara, who is slated to miss the first few games with an ankle injury? And how would their up-tempo offense adjust to Highland Park's zone trapping? It's only the season opener, but they might've found answers to all three of those questions on Tuesday night. Prospect Junior guard Bobby Frasco's 16 points (2 rebounds, 2 assists) led the Knights to a 46-39 win against Highland Park at the Joe Majkowski Varsity Thanksgiving Basketball Tournament at St. Viator.

Sledd, Highland Park slip past Maine West Sep 21, 2012 12:00 AM
Maine West and Highland Park were tied at halftime of their Central Suburban North contest on Friday night on the Warriors' home field. It appeared Maine West had momentum on its side too, after Kyle Cook pounced on a fumble in the end zone to tie the score at 14 with 6:58 to play in the first half. But the Warriors' opening drive of the second half stalled, and Highland Park leaned on their power running attack, led by tailback Andrew Sledd, to score 28 straight second-half points and ultimately win 42-21.
