  • Cary-Grove to play for regional title May 15, 2013 12:00 AM
    Cary-Grove senior goalkeeper Krystal Felderman simply wasn't going to allow Jacobs to core. Felderman was that determined. Including an amazing save with a little over 8 minutes left in the game, Felderman collected 6 saves as second-seeded Cary-Grove posted a 2-0 win over No. 3 Jacobs in semifinal action of the Class 3A Crystal Lake South girls soccer regional Wednesday afternoon.

     
  • Jacobs blanks Dundee-Crown May 15, 2013 12:00 AM
    Jacobs baseball coach Jaime Murray was jogging back to the dugout Wednesday after the bottom of the second inning and asked his team, "Are we going to swing the bat today?" The Golden Eagles had struck out five times — four looking — in the first two innings. They swung the bat enough in the third, despite striking out three more times, and scored a run on their first 2 hits of the game. That was enough as Jacobs defeated Dundee-Crown, 5-0, after scoring 4 insurance runs in the sixth.

     
  •  Burlington Central’s Katie Trupp competes in and wins the high jump during the Burlington Central girls track sectional. Trupp will compete at the Class 2A state finals in Charleston this weekend.

    Burlington Central’s Trupp seeking more May 15, 2013 12:00 AM
    Burlington Central senior Katie Trupp is no stranger to the girls track and field state finals podium. As a freshman she took fifth in the state in high jump and followed that up with a pair of medals sophomore year in the pole vault (sixth) and high jump (seventh). Trupp will look to make it a 3-peat at this weekend's Class 2A state finals at Eastern Illinois University's O'Brien Stadium in Charleston. Class 1A preliminaries start today, while Class 2A and 3A action gets under way Friday.

  •  Jacobs starting pitcher Evan Blunk against Dundee-Crown Monday in Carpentersville.

    Who needs practice? Apparently not Jacobs May 13, 2013 12:00 AM
    Consider it one of the oddest facts of an unusual spring: it's the final week of the regular season and the Jacobs baseball team has yet to hold a full, outdoor practice. Persistent cold, wet weather throughout late March and April kept the Golden Eagles off their own unplayable infield and in their field house for weeks on end. When the weather finally did improve enough to play outdoors, coach Jamie Murray's team took advantage of any dry day by eating into the backlog of postponed games. No time to practice. Just play, play, play. Though they haven't had the opportunity to work on cutoffs from the outfield or pitchers covering first base, the Golden Eagles have nevertheless managed to win 18 of 28 games, including Monday's 7-0 whitewash of District 300 rival Dundee-Crown in a Fox Valley Conference Valley Division tilt in Carpentersville.

  • Jacobs, Crystal Lake South split May 11, 2013 12:00 AM
    The Crystal Lake South and Jacobs baseball teams traded walk-off winners Saturday in an intense doubleheader preview of their May 23 regional semifinal. CL South (15-5, 12-5) took Game 1 when Tom Gaede singled to left-center field in the bottom of the eighth inning to score Jake Bigos for a 3-2 victory. Jacobs (17-10, 9-7) salvaged the split when catcher Aaron Meciej laced a one-out single down the third-base line in the bottom of the seventh, scoring Grant Kale from second base for a 1-0 win. Kale led off with a single and advanced on a sacrifice bunt by Nick Ledinsky.

     
  • Huntley's Brennan Bell participates in the 110-meter high hurdles semifinal during the Fox Valley Conference Boys Track &Field Championships at Al Bohrer Field on the campus of Cary-Grove High School Friday night.

    Huntley runs away with Fox Valley title May 10, 2013 12:00 AM
    Without talented hurdler Kyle See, who was out with a twisted ankle, Huntley coach Jim Rolando realized a total team effort would be needed for the Red Raiders to capture the Fox Valley Conference boys track and field championship. Mission accomplished. With 3 first-place finishes, Huntley compiled 116 ½ points to claim top honors in the FVC meet held at Cary Grove's Al Bohrer Field Friday night.

  •  Hampshire’s Elizabeth Pagan competes in the long jump during the Fox Valley Conference girls track meet Monday at Grayslake Central High School.

    Hampshire putting it all together May 8, 2013 12:00 AM
    In years past, while Hampshire's Patti Nihells, one of the longest-tenured area girls track coaches, may not have had the largest teams but she's always had talented individual athletes both on the track and in the field events. This year, Hampshire is enjoying the best of both worlds. The Whip-Purs are fresh off winning the Fox Valley Conference Fox Division team title in only their second year in the conference. Hampshire, which finished third overall in the 14-team FVC meet, will look to continue that season-long success at Friday's Class 2A Burlington Central sectional. At the sectional level, the top two place-finishers in each event and any individual or relay team equaling or surpassing the minimum state-qualifying standard in each event advance to the state finals in Charleston at Eastern Illinois University.
