Kendziera, Barrington relay strike gold May 25, 2013 12:00 AM
Prospect senior Dave Kendziera knew he had just one race left in his high school career so, he reasoned, why not go after it with everything he had? “I just figured I would go out as hard and as fast as I could and leave everything out there,” he said. The approach worked well. Kendziera, in his last race in a Prospect uniform in the finals of the Class 3A 300 hurdles, left little doubt about who the state champion would be.

Barrington’s power play ices Loyola May 25, 2013 12:00 AM
Barrington’s home run count went up to 48 for the season on Saturday. But a home run by Loyola had the Fillies in an early count many might not have expected. Ramblers catcher Brooke Kehoe belted a 3-run blast over the left-center field fence to give Loyola a 3-0 lead with two outs in the top of the third inning. However, the Mid-Suburban League champs answered with 2 homers in the bottom of the inning and another in the seventh as they rallied for an 8-4 victory over the No. 9 Ramblers (13-11). The top-seeded Fillies (32-1) will face No. 4. Fremd (24-7) in Tuesday’s 4:30 p.m. semifinal game of the Class 4A Rolling Meadows sectional.

Bartlett’s VanDyke outduels Hoffman’s Ward May 25, 2013 12:00 AM
If Hoffman Estates pitcher Jimmy Ward performed against any other team as he did against Bartlett Saturday, the Cinderella run for the 18th-seeded Hoffman may have ended in a regional championship celebration. Instead, the Evansville-bound Ward, who pitched 6 solid innings of 5-hit ball, giving up 1 earned with 2 strikeouts, was upstaged by Bartlett’s Doug VanDyke, who lost a no-hitter in the seventh during a late Hoffman rally, but concluded matters to earn a shutout and Bartlett a 2-0 win for its second-consecutive Class 4A regional title in Bartlett.
Fremd cashes in with seventh-inning rally May 25, 2013 12:00 AM
Money was big money for Fremd on Saturday in the Class 4A St. Viator regional final in Arlington Heights. Greg Money, that is. He delivered a two-out single to right-center to score Austin Jetel as the Vikings rallied for 2 runs in the bottom of the seventh and a 4-3 victory over Buffalo Grove. “I was way down in the order,” said Money, who was the sixth batter to come to the plate in the inning. “I was hoping that they would get to me. I swung at the first pitch and once I hit it, I knew we had won.” The victory gave coach Chris Piggott his first regional title since he became coach in 2003, and it’s the first regional title for Fremd since 2002. Fremd moves on to the Glenbrook North sectional Wednesday, where the Vikings will meet Libertyville, a 7-6 victor against Glenbrook North at Lake Zurich in regional play Saturday.

Barrington shuts down Rockford Boylan May 24, 2013 12:00 AM
Barrington girls soccer coach Ryan Stengren realized to defeat Boylan Catholic the Fillies needed to contain Titans standout Abby Reed, who entered Friday night's sectional championship game with 49 goals.

Barrington (17-4-1), which claimed its fifth straight sectional championship, advances to play in its own supersectional Tuesday against St. Charles North.
