Perfection the norm for NSC Prairie champion Vernon Hills Feb 2, 2013 12:00 AM
Alina Lehocky, “Go Go Gadget Arms” to her Vernon Hills basketball team, might have needed her exceptional hands and arms to pen that long note on the basketball she gave to her parents.

If the ball slipped while writing, starting over would have been time-consuming and potentially expensive, too. “We were all really careful,” Lehocky said. The Cougars expect perfection — on the basketball court, too. Vernon Hills completed a perfect run in the North Suburban Conference Prairie Division for the second year in a row Saturday.
