• Dykstra’s dinger does it for Lakes May 23, 2012 12:00 AM
  It's not quite fair to say that Lakes shortstop Jamie Dykstra hadn't gotten the ball out of the infield heading into the fifth inning in Tuesday's regional contest with rival Antioch. Actually, she had walked and popped to the infield in two at-bats. And then she led off the fifth inning with a blast over the left-center field fence. Her solo homer opened the frame and sent her Eagles off to a 4-run rally — and Lakes needed all of those runs. The Eagles (24-12) will play for the Class 3A regional title Saturday morning against Grayslake North. The Eagles held off the Sequoits 5-4 at Antioch.
  

   

• Lake Forest puts an end to Lakes’ run May 22, 2012 12:00 AM
  For yet another year, Lakes' girls soccer team reached the sectional semifinals. The Eagles have made a habit of deep postseason runs in recent seasons, with sectional finals and a supersectional appearance, too. This spring, fifth-seeded Lakes showed a lot of character and promise reaching the sectional again and played well for about a half of Tuesday night's Class 2A semifinal match. But the Eagles (14-10-1) were overwhelmed by the talented No. 2 seed, Lake Forest, in a 5-2 loss Tuesday in Lake Villa.

  Warren freshman Brittny Ellis and Lakes' 3,200 relay made quite a splash on a warm day at the girls track and field state meet finals at Eastern Illinois O'Brien Stadium in Charleston. Ellis lived up to her hype by winning the Class 3A state title in the 400 (54.08). The Blue Devils freshman also took sixth in the 200 (24.88) and anchored her team to a ninth-place finish in the 400 relay (48.66).

  Vernon Hills wraps solo Prairie title May 15, 2012 12:00 AM
  At 7:46 p.m., with the sun setting beyond the softball fence in left field at Lakes, Vernon Hills shortstop Michelle Harris squeezed a popout for the games final out. A long game, which included a long first inning, which included an RBI single from a girl with a long last name (Anya Mollenhauer), ended with Vernon Hills winning 4-1 Tuesday. Halleluya, a Cougars player said as she and her teammates jogged off the field at games end. The win gave Vernon Hills (22-11, 11-1) the outright North Suburban Prairie Division championship, its first since 2008. By virtue of owning the second tiebreaker (wins over common NSC crossover opponents) with Lakes, the Cougars headed into the game already assured of representing the Prairie in Thursdays conference title game. Vernon Hills will host Warren at 4:30 p.m., and it will also be senior night.
