• Reed, Meadows win again May 18, 2013 12:00 AM
  Mid-Suburban League champion Rolling Meadows improved to 19-9-1 with a 1-0 victory over Addison Trail on Saturday in nonconference play. On senior day for the host Mustangs, senior Austin Reed tossed a complete-game 4-hitter. He induced 13 groundball outs, struck out four, walked none and the hits he allowed were all singles. It was a good thing Reed was so sharp, because Addison Trail's Zach Dowz allowed 2 hits and struck out 15 in a tough-luck complete-game loss.

• Speaker has a new motivation May 17, 2013 12:00 AM
  An Inverness letter to the editor: The cynic in me thinks it is more likely that Mr. Madigan feels that he has to clean up the mess that he helped to create because the time is quickly approaching for him to try and install daughter Lisa in the governor's mansion. I am certain that he doesn't want to leave this $100 billion disaster to land in her lap after years and years of inaction on his part.
  

   

• Sweet evening for Lakes at VH sectional May 17, 2013 12:00 AM
  Trevor Ray held a small bundle of gift-wrapped goodies baked by Stephanie Rowells, wife of Lakes boys track coach Kurt Rowells, when a competitor stopped by to feed the speedy senior some sugary praise. It was none other than Ray's old middle-school relay teammate, Leroy Chapman of Antioch. "Mention that he beat me," Chapman said with a smile, as he patted Ray on the shoulders and back. "Smoked me." Chapman, who finished second to Ray in the 400-meter dash, wasn't the only one blown away by a Lakes runner. If this were a high school baseball game, it would have been called after five innings. Lakes piled up 144 points to capture Friday night's Class 2A Vernon Hills sectional. Defending sectional champ Grayslake Central (76 points) was way back in second. Vernon Hills (69), Antioch (52) and St. Viator (36) rounded out the top five.
  

   

• Hersey tops Stevenson in second OT May 17, 2013 12:00 AM
  It took a while, but Hersey was able to defend its home turf in Class 3A girls soccer regional championship play Friday. The Huskies went to two overtimes, and Casey Weyhrich and Lauren Gierman found the the back of the net to propel Hersey past Stevenson 2-0. Morgan Harris earned her 12th shutout of the season for the Huskies.
  

   

• Carmel gets offensive, edges Fremd May 17, 2013 12:00 AM
  Nobody could have figured these two defensive giants would concede 7 goals Friday night. After all, No. 2 Carmel (19-1-1) had allowed just 8 before the start of its regional final at No. 7 Fremd, who themselves had given just 11 away to its opponents this season. But the defensive buzz leading up to this game quickly disappeared, and would continue to do so until the final whistle signaled the end of 100 minutes of soccer, with the Corsairs outlasting the host Vikings (12-6-3) 4-3 in OT to capture a Class 3A regional crown and a place in Tuesday's Mundelein sectional semifinal against No. 3 Hersey, which defeated Stevenson 2-0.

  With Barrington's Wyatt Trautwein and Rolling Meadows' Matt Dennis on the mound for their teams Friday in the Mid-Suburban League's baseball championship game, many in the overflow crowd at the Nelson Sports Complex in Rolling Meadows expected a pitchers' duel. They were wrong. What they got was a 17-run, 22-hit slugfest, with Rolling Meadows coming out on top 11-6.
  

   

• Pats in command; Parekh advances May 17, 2013 12:00 AM
  North Suburban Conference champ Stevenson dominated day one of its own tennis sectional Friday afternoon, but a pair of four-year veterans and a newcomer to the scene squeezed their way into the picture as play came to and end at the spacious Vernon Hills Athletic Complex. The Patriots are way ahead of the field in the team race with 16 points, and have qualified all four teams into next week's state tournament when Saturday's 9 a.m. semifinals begin day No. 2.
  

   

• Barrington holds off Burlington Central May 17, 2013 12:00 AM
  It was Senior Day for the Barrington softball team Friday and the Fillies played their final game of the season at the Fields of Dreams. Or did they? "We hope we have one more game here," said Fillies' senior third baseman Loren Krzysko. If the Fillies do, it will mean they're playing in their own Class 4A supersectional on June 3. But there's a long road ahead before that and Barrington, ranked No. 2 in the Daily Herald Top 20 as well as the Class 4A Illinois Coaches Association poll, tuned up for the postseason with a 3-2 win over Burlington Central, the No. 6 team in the Daily Herald Top 20 and No. 3 in the ICA Class 3A poll.

  Suburban doctor remembered as caring leader, excellent surgeon May 16, 2013 12:00 AM
  A portrait of Dr. Peter Pleotis still hangs in the doctors’ lounge at Northwest Community Hospital, some 14 years after he retired. The former obstetrician and gynecologist, who practiced 37 years at the hospital, left a standard that his colleagues still measure themselves against. Dr. Pleotis died Monday from complications of Parkinson’s disease. He was 82.
  

   

• Richards rises to the sectional task at BG May 16, 2013 12:00 AM
  The teams and competitors at the Class 3A Buffalo Grove boys track and field sectional learned quickly Thursday night what the North Suburban Conference, and in particular Mundelein, has known for some time. There really isn’t anything Mustangs sophomore Bryce Richards can’t do on the track. Take, for example, the third heat of the 800-meter run. With one lap remaining, Richards took command, but looked to be losing his grip on the race with 100 meters left. Instead of folding and falling out of the pack like many underclassmen before him might have done, Richards stormed back into the lead and won it. His school-record time of 1:55.33 is among the 10 fastest in the state this spring and earned Richards his first trip downstate. But he was hardly done there.

• Kozokar’s 9-goal effort lifts Mundelein past Barrington May 16, 2013 12:00 AM
  It was a banner day for Mundelein, and one player in particular stole the show Thursday night in the girls water polo state tournament. The Mustangs faced Barrington in the quarterfinals of the Elite Eight meet at Stevenson, and Mundelein rolled to an 11-5 victory behind a state tournament tying 9-goal performance by standout junior Karrie Kozokar. Mundelein (27-6) advanced to the semifinals Saturday at 9 a.m. against Lincoln-Way Central (29-5), which defeated Loyola 12-11 in the first game of the day. Barrington closed out its season with a 27-5 record in its fourth appearance at the state tourney.
