• Big finishes for Hoffman’s Wille, Palatine’s Conrad Feb 9, 2013 12:00 AM
  Sarah Wille of Hoffman Estates and Katie Conrad of Palatine didn’t let the frenetic atmosphere of Cherry Bowl Lanes bother them in the least. As a matter of fact, the junior bowlers thrived in it. In the jam-packed setting of the Rockford alley — one that a fan rightly called “organized chaos” — Conrad and Wille showed their mettle by placing in the top 20 at Saturday’s state tournament.
  

   

• Productive day for Glenbard N. at Maine EastFeb 9, 2013 12:00 AM
  Heading to Champaign next weekend? Your probabilities of running into a few young men with bleached blonde hair are looking strong. And when you do, you will have found Glenbard North's 7 state-qualified wrestlers, all hoping for individual state titles and traditionally wearing the hairdos. Success for the Panthers came easy at the Class 3A Maine East sectional Saturday afternoon as Jon Marmolego (120 pounds), Jered Cortez (126) and Brian Murphy (152) all grabbed first-place wins in their respective weight classes, while Jimique Davis at 160 took second place, Patrick Augstyn (106) and Johnny Gosinski (132) placed third and Colton Wegner (170) sneaked into Champaign in fourth place. “We brought 10 guys here, seven got out and I can remember when we'd be happy if we got one guy out,” said Panthers' coach Mark Hahn. “To get seven guys out that's pretty good. We had five in the finals, pretty good tournament, all the way around.”

• Confident Conant in just the right ‘state’ of mindFeb 2, 2013 12:00 AM
  Conant coach Jennifer Mikrut knew it was going to be a good day for the Cougars after only two games were in the books at Saturday’s Fremd girls bowling sectional.“We were in first place at that time,” said Mikrut, “and it really gave the girls a lot of confidence. It was an outstanding kickoff to the day and they were excited. At that point, I think they knew what they could do.”What the Cougars did was erase the memory of last year’s sectional tournament – when Conant missed out on a state berth by just eight pins – to win Saturday at Arlington Lanes and move on to next weekend’s state tourney at Cherry Bowl Lanes in Rockford.Conant’s total six-game score of 5838 bested second-place Prospect by just 73 pins, but the Knights weren’t disappointed as they also qualified for a trip to Cherry Bowl with their runner-up placement.

  Donatucci will take over at Hoffman Estates Feb 1, 2013 12:00 AM
  When former Fremd head coach Mike Donatucci retired as head coach of the Vikings two seasons ago, many observers thought that retirement would be short-lived. And even though Donatucci spent last season as the defensive coordinator at Schaumburg, it was thought it would be just a matter of time before Donatucci took the head coaching reins again. That day came Friday when Donatucci was announced as the new head coach at Hoffman Estates, replacing Eric Ilich, who resigned two weeks ago. Donatucci now becomes the 5th head football coach since the school opened in 1975. He is the winningest head football coach in Mid-Suburban League history.

And her most important shots came in a pressure-packed situation at the foul line as her 2 free throws with eight seconds left turned a 1-point lead into a 41-38 victory over Conant in Mid-Suburban West action.
