Highland Park shocks Mundelein Jun 2, 2012 12:00 AM
After watching for seven innings, Highland Park sophomore David Joseph figured he knew just what to do if he got his chance. The baby-faced Joseph, who has never shaved, got his chance for the 13th-seeded Giants and came through like a veteran. The Giants had runners at the corners with two outs in the top of the eighth inning in the championship game of Saturday's Class 4A Glenbrook South sectional against top-seeded Mundelein. "I was watching the pitcher and he was throwing strikes," Joseph said. "He had a tendency to throw a first-pitch strike, and I just went up there with the mind set to hit the ball hard." Joseph took the first pitch he saw from Mundelein reliever Mitchell Schulewitz and drilled it to deep center for a bases-clearing triple that started a four-run eighth. Highland Park then survived a bases-loaded bottom half to stun the top-seeded Mustangs 7-3 and earn its first sectional title since 1969.

Highland Park stops Stevenson Jun 1, 2012 12:00 AM
Highland Park, seeded 13th in the Glenbrook South sectional, hasn't been lucky. The Giants have just been good. Highland Park's 5-1 win over No. 7 Stevenson in the teams' Class 4A sectional semifinal at Glenbrook South in Glenview was further proof. Highland Park senior first baseman Christian Biondi got the scoring going with an RBI single in the top of the first, and the Giants never looked back. The win evened up their record at 19-19 heading into today's 10 a.m. sectional final against top-seeded Mundelein (34-4). Stevenson finished 23-14.

Morris, St. Viator winning tough Nov 25, 2011 12:00 AM
It’s been quite the week for D.J. Morris. In Monday’s season opener against Walter Lutheran, St. Viator’s point guard broke his nose for the sixth time. Just over a minute into Friday’s contest against Wheeling, Morris had to be removed from the game when he was bleeding on the court after taking an elbow to the nose. And with 1:02 left in the first half, Morris had to leave the game again when he ran into a hard screen that resulted in his ribs being popped out of place. But the senior had enough in him to score a game-high 13 points in leading the Lions to a 62-44 win over the Wildcats in the St. Viator Thanksgiving Basketball Tournament.
