Heeren assists Hersey in decisive win Jan 29, 2015 10:29 PM
By Greg Swiderski Max Heeren, Hersey’s senior point guard, knew what he had to do to help the Huskies bounce back from Tuesday’s loss to St. Viator. “As a point guard your job has to be to penetrate the lane and get the ball inside,” said Heeren. “That’s what I was doing tonight. We were able to get the second layer of offense open.” Heeren did not put a point on the board for the better part of three quarters and finished with 7 points. But he dished out 10 assists in Hersey’s 65-38 decision over visiting Buffalo Grove.

Hersey hangs on against Wheeling Jan 16, 2015 10:15 PM
By Gregg Voss It’s getting to be that point of the boys swim season where practices are painfully grueling, every point in a dual meet is hotly contested and winning is more of a relief than a celebration. Consider Hersey and coach Dick Mortensen quite relieved. The Huskies escaped with a 95-91 victory over host Wheeling on Friday afternoon, getting just enough out of the final event, the 400-yard freestyle relay, to improve to 6-2 in dual meets this season.
Heady play helps Weyhrich, Hersey past Wheeling Jan 17, 2015 12:41 AM
By John Leusch About the only thing that could slow down Kelly Weyhrich’s momentum on Friday night was on top of her own head. While dribbling late in the final quarter, the sophomore’s white headband slipped down and was around her neck, resulting in an official to stop the action. Once Weyhrich put the headband back in place, she completed a heads-up game — her finest in high school — which helped the Huskies post a 61-45 girls basketball triumph at Wheeling in the Mid-Suburban East contest. Weyhrich scored a career- and team-high 15 points (with two 3-pointers) and had 8 assists as Hersey improved to 14-5 and 4-1 in the MSL East, one game behind state-ranked Prospect (17-1, 5-0).
