• New postseason life for Hoffman Estates Mar 2, 2015 9:08 PM
  By Dick Quagliano Playoff time is like a second season for teams. And nobody needed a second season more than Hoffman Estates. The Hawks ended a 12-game losing streak and rallied past Buffalo Grove 70-59 Monday in the opening round of the Class 4A Fremd boys basketball regional in Palatine. Hoffman Estates (6-19) which is seeded 16th in the Barrington sectional, will meet second-seeded Lake Park Wednesday at 6 p.m. Lake Park beat Hoffman 53-33 in mid January.
  

   

• Barrington’s Tenyer turns it up for 17th place Feb 21, 2015 8:12 PM
  By Bill Esbrook As the song says, what a difference a day makes. Or in the case of Sarah Tenyer, a day and half to be exact. The Barrington sophomore, who admitted that she had a “little bit of nerves” on her first trip to the girls bowling state tournament in Rockford, started slowly Friday with a morning 3-game series of 561. That score her saw languishing near the bottom of the pack of competitors at Cherry Bowl Lanes. Then came a stellar afternoon session Friday — and an even bigger day Saturday. Beginning Friday afternoon and continuing through the tournament finale, Tenyer, the Mid-Suburban League champion, posted series marks of 687-700-644 en route to a 17th-place overall finish.

  By Gregg Voss Right on schedule, the Barrington boys swimming team was peaking. That paid serious dividends at the Illinois High School Association sectional meet the Broncos hosted Saturday afternoon. Barrington led the way with six champions out of 12 total events, all of whom advanced to next weekend’s state meet at New Trier. The Broncos also had eight total qualifiers, the most among a crowded field of strong squads, including Stevenson, which won the team title with 238 points.

  By Bill Esbrook Ashley Kriston is getting to be a familiar face at Cherry Bowl Lanes.

  Gold-medal efforts at Barrington Feb 14, 2015 9:00 PM
  By Aaron Gabriel The wide array of sports being contested at Barrington High School on Saturday almost gave the campus the feel you’d find at a Olympic-style winter sports festival. Wrestling over here, basketball over there — and down this hallway, the Mid-Suburban League boys swimming and diving championships. And in the pool, the host Broncos ended up celebrating a successful defense of their MSL team title, emerging on top in a finish that was much more tightly grouped than usual. Barrington won with 233 points, followed closely by Fremd (218). Rolling Meadows (183) turned in its highest-ever finish in third place, with Palatine (169) taking a big jump up as well to fourth.

• Kuzmanic (35 points) excels in home finale victory Feb 11, 2015 12:27 AM
  Daily Herald report Playing her final home game of a standout four-year girls basketball career at Wheeling High School, Deanna Kuzmanic put up one of the finest performances.

• Standout efforts from Stevenson, Barrington’s Tenyer Feb 7, 2015 7:51 PM
  By Bill Esbrook Stevenson senior Sam Szura, a competitor since her freshman season, called her four seasons of participation in varsity girls bowling “a real trip.” “We started at the bottom and worked our way up, that’s for sure,” said Szura. “That’s why I’m so ecstatic right now. I’m crying.” The tears that Szura and her teammates were shedding Saturday were tears of joy as the Patriots surprised by winning the Palatine Regional at Brunswick Zone in Deer Park. “We expected to advance,” said Szura, “but we never expected to win the regional. I was nervous all day — I’m kind of a worry-wart — but in the end we were able to pull through, and I’m thrilled that we did.” Stevenson’s pinfall of 5,515 was a whopping 120 pins better than second-place Hoffman Estates (5,358), and both teams will advance to Saturday’s sectional tourney hosted by Rolling Meadows. Schaumburg (5,308) and Lake Zurich (5,288) will also move on to the sectional meet to be held at Brunswick in Mount Prospect, while the magical season of Barrington sophomore Sarah Tenyer continued in earnest. Just a week after winning Mid-Suburban League honors, Tenyer won medalist bragging rights at Deer Park with a 6-game total of 1,302 pins, including games of 246 and 235.
  

   

• Fremd completes another perfect West run Feb 7, 2015 1:00 AM
  Daily Herald report Twenty six in a row. That’s the Mid-Suburban West winning streak the Fremd girls basketball team will carry into the 2015-16 season after completing a 10-0 run for the second straight season on Friday night. Haley Gorecki (18 points), Bryana Hopkins (13), Briana Lewis (12) and Julia Wacker (10) all reached double figures in the state-ranked Vikings’ 68-33 triumph over visiting Palatine. Fremd (22-4) has not lost a MSL West game since Schaumburg defeated the Vikings 46-37 three years ago.
  

   

• Barrington’s back on top in MSL West Feb 6, 2015 11:24 PM
  By Howard Schlossberg Even after a vintage performance like Friday night’s 67-48 homecourt win over Hoffman Estates, Barrington thinks it can play better. The Broncos badly out-rebounded the Hawks, nailed their open looks, forced Hoffman into 18 turnovers and kept their composure when the Hawks made a run at them. When they needed it, their defense carried them through. The Barrington victory, combined with a loss by Fremd, puts the Broncos back in front by themselves in the Mid-Suburban West boys basketball race. Palatine and Fremd are both 1 game back with two divisional games remaining.
