Dundee-Crown tops rival Jacobs Feb 11, 2013 12:00 AM
Play-in games for any type of team can be a pressure-cooker. Try it on for size when you bring in a District 300 rivalry into mix. Jacobs sought its third win against rival Dundee-Crown this season Monday night at the Class 4A Streamwood girls basketball regional and for the first 8 minutes, leading by as many as 9 while making 4 of its first 5 shots, the Golden Eagles looked as if they were on their way to completing that feat. But D-C flipped a switch and Jacobs went ice cold. The Chargers outscored the Golden Eagles 57-35 from the second quarter on in a 61-45 victory over Jacobs,

Crater, Hampshire tame Grayslake North Feb 9, 2013 12:00 AM
At some point, when you’re having some heck of a week, something has to give. So Tyler Crater gave in. He cracked a smile. Shrugged a tad, too. All the Hampshire senior could do was flash a Jordanesque grin as he hustled back on defense. As the final seconds wound down in the third quarter at Grayslake North, Crater canned a long, backpedaling 3-pointer with a defender’s hand in his face. “We were on a run,” Crater said. “I was running down the court and Brendan (Waterworth) saw me. I was like, ‘I’m going to put it up.’ I knew if I made it, Coach wouldn’t be mad. But I knew if I missed it, he’d be like, ‘You got to run some clock.’ But it went in, so he was happy.” Hampshire coach Bob Barnett and the Whip-Purs were one smiling bunch after pulling away for a 76-57 win in a Fox Valley Conference Fox Division matinee Saturday. Crater’s game-high 27 points matched the same number of points he dropped on South Elgin in an overtime win Wednesday night. He shot 8 of 14 from the floor and 8 of 8 from the foul line, as Hampshire (19-4, 7-2) defeated Grayslake North (13-10, 3-6) for the second time in three weeks.

Cary-Grove’s Cullen the man at Barrington Feb 9, 2013 12:00 AM
How do you improve on perfection? Don’t ask Michael Cullen, because the Cary-Grove sophomore still feels he’s a long way from being there. Of course his opponents might feel a little differently if they were asked. Another simply smashing performance from Cullen was put in the books following a dominating 11-1 major decision in his 113-pound final against Colin Kenyon (New Trier, 33-8) at the Class 3A Barrington sectional Saturday. The win sends the Trojans’ star into the 3A state tournament on the front foot, and a well-deserved top 4 seed when things begin Thursday on the big floor of Assembly Hall in Champaign. Cullen (42-0) will be joined by teammate Michael Underwood (138) and Logan Hanselmann (120) both for the first time, after each won in dramatic style in their afternoon state qualifying bouts.
