Welter helps Buffalo Grove outscore Lake Zurich Feb 11, 2013 12:00 AM
Buffalo Grove coach Steve Kolodziej had a message for freshman Maddie Welter at practice Saturday. "My coach told me whenever he put me in the game, he wanted me in there to score points," said Welter, who nine months ago was a student at Thomas Middle School in Arlington Heights. "So I kind of thought on that." Whatever she was thinking, it couldn't have worked out better for BG. Welter came off the bench to score a career-high 19 points and help No. 15 seeded Buffalo Grove claim a 59-52 victory over No. 19 Lake Zurich in Monday's play-in game of the Class 4A Fremd girls basketball regional.

It all clicks for Warren’s Hicks Feb 9, 2013 12:00 AM
Flying under the radar last season as teammate Shakhiem Chapman enjoyed most of the spoils on his way to a third-place state finish, Warren’s Danny Hicks had a wonderful year himself in 2012. It’s looking like 2013 might be even better for Hicks after Saturday’s result at the Class 3A Barrington sectional. The senior won his second consecutive sectional title, this one coming at the expense of Libertyville junior Austin Koziol (28-11) in a 5-0 decision to send the star 170-pounder into the state tournament next weekend with a full head of steam.
It all adds up in another Stevenson win Feb 9, 2013 12:00 AM
Stevenson is one of those “pick your poison” basketball teams. If somehow you figure out a way to stop super sophomore Jalen Brunson, then fellow fine sophomore Colby Cashaw will burn you inside and outside. Add the outside shooting of Andy Stempel and Matt Morrissey, and there is no wonder why the Patriots are the top seed in the Waukegan sectional. “They have four really good players,” Lake Zurich coach Billy Pitcher said. “And with Cashaw hitting 3s, they are hard to defend.” On its march to a North Suburban Conference Lake Division title, the visiting Patriots hit their first three baskets from three-point range and never looked back in beating Lake Zurich 62-49 Saturday night.
Distillery proposal suits the taste of Lake Zurich officialsFeb 9, 2013 12:00 AM

Count it: Brunson, Pats win again Feb 8, 2013 12:00 AM
If Stevenson sophomore Jalen Brunson calls it a dunk, it must have been a dunk. In any case, it was about the only questionable play from Brunson in the Patriots’ North Suburban Lake contest with Lake Forest on Friday night. The play from Brunson helped Stevenson to a 12-point lead, and even though the “dunk,” his third of the season, front-rimmed before eventually going down, it was a key 2 points for the Patriots. “Yeah, that was a dunk,” Patriots sophomore Connor Cashaw said with a smile. “It was a great play.” Whether it was a clean dunk or not, it was just one out of several spectacular plays for Brunson in the second half. He scored 10 of his game-high 24 points in the fourth quarter and Stevenson never trailed in defeating the Scouts for the second time this season 59-50.
