• The bare truth: Lakes is a regional champ May 26, 2012 12:00 AM
  In throwing the one-and-done monkey off its back, the Lakes baseball team got a hand. A bare hand. A ball that took a bad hop screamed towards Lakes first baseman Ryan Burnett on Saturday afternoon. He improvised and used his bare hand to field the ball and step on the bag. It was not only the most impressive out of the day, it was also the final out in Lakes' 3-2 regional championship victory over host Antioch. And it put to an end the Eagles' string of three straight first-round postseason tournament exits. Lakes will meet Grayslake Central in Class 3A sectional play Wednesday at Grayslake Central.

• 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.
