Youthful St. Charles North searching for consistency May 13, 2013 12:00 AM
Perhaps St. Charles North baseball coach Todd Genke should have figured this would be a challenging season when the team's annual trip to downstate Marion was shortened due to a late-March snowstorm. Whatever the case, it definitely has not been business as usual for the North Stars this season.
Marmion wins sixth straight SCC title May 11, 2013 12:00 AM
The odds were stacked overwhelmingly against the nearest Marmion pursuers Saturday morning and afternoon in Wheaton. The Cadets, unblemished in regular-season Suburban Christian Conference boys tennis dual meets, were seeking a sixth consecutive league championship. Marmion was almost as flawless at St. Francis during the conference tournament, scoring 13 out of a possible 15 points by capturing all three doubles championships and second singles en route to 20 total points.

The question is, Now what? In the wake of the Metro Suburban Conference Board of Control's unanimous vote Wednesday to accept seven current Suburban Christian Conference schools effective the 2014-15 academic year, it leaves Montini, St. Francis, Marmion, Rosary, Aurora Christian and Marian Central taken by surprise and twisting in the wind.
Marmion rallies against Aurora Central Catholic May 2, 2013 12:00 AM
While the rain has been a pain for pretty much every area baseball and softball team this spring, Marmion might have had the worst of it. The Cadets entered their Suburban Christian Conference crossover at home against Aurora Central Catholic Thursday with just 13 games on the season. When it rains on their home field, there's little the Cadets can do to get the game in.

FieldTurf making East Side Complex a popular place Apr 30, 2013 12:00 AM
There are a number of advantages in being a resident of St. Charles. Both of the city's high schools — St. Charles North (21st) and St. Charles East (39th) — were recently named to the "Top 50" annual list published by U.S. News & World Report that ranks each state's high schools.

The West Aurora product could only enjoy the latest string of victories for his Marmion tennis team as the squad remained perfect on the season in winning the eight-team bracketed Blackhawks' boys tennis invitational. Marmion (10-0) blanked West Aurora in the opening match before narrowly escaping St. Charles East in the semifinals with a 3-2 victory.

Expected to be good, Batavia baseball, Saints softball better than advertised Apr 15, 2013 12:00 AM
Prior to the start of the high school — I can't wait until it actually starts feeling like — spring season, two local teams were included among the annual preview stories. Nothing fancy, nothing new. Overlooked by some, Batavia's baseball team began its season last month with a game that wasn't even listed on its original schedule.
No stopping St. Charles East duo Apr 13, 2013 12:00 AM
Nobody has been able to solve St. Charles East's one-two punch of Jasper Koenen and Justin Bowman this season, and nobody came close to snapping their winning streaks Saturday at Geneva's annual invitational. Koenen and Bowman both won their three matches without much of a challenge to win the first and second singles championships, respectively, at the eight-team tournament. The invite also included Geneva, Marmion, IMSA, Oswego, DeKalb, Crystal Lake Central and Lincoln-Way East, who used their doubles play to tie the Saints for the team title with 14 points. The 3-0 record for Koenen and Bowman Saturday improved them both to 11-0 on the young season.

Kaneland claims title at East Moline Apr 6, 2013 12:00 AM
Showing strength over all three levels, Kaneland won East Moline's United Township Kiwanis Invitational for the first time in its seven trips there. "It was one of those where we hit on almost every cylinder," said Knights coach Eric Baron. "We scored in every event." Getting what Baron called "a pleasant surprise" out of pole vaulter Dylan Kuiper and a personal-best shot put mark of 52 feet, 4 inches from Nate Dyer among many highlights, Kaneland's 260 points topped United's 220.50, Geneseo's 204 and Rock Island's 184.

In celebration of the opening week of the high school baseball/softball season, here are 9 things on my mind:
Streaking Batavia rallies by Marmion for 4-0 start Mar 30, 2013 12:00 AM
How long has it been since the Batavia baseball team started 4-0? So long that Matt Holm, who has been coaching the Bulldogs the past 21 seasons, couldn't remember ever doing it. Batavia capped a perfect first week of the season with a 2-run rally in the sixth inning Saturday, beating a Marmion roster filled with several kids who grew up in Batavia playing with many of these Bulldogs. That 5-3 victory — and the 4-0 record with wins over Wheaton Warrenville South, Willowbrook and Naperville North — was music to Batavia catcher Dino Simoncelli's ears.
