Demand, Lakes strike again May 24, 2013 12:00 AM
Justin Demand's final fastball popped leather, and moments later from beyond the fence in center field came more sounds that were pleasant to the ears of Lakes. Snap, crackle, pop, sizzle. Pretty. Pretty appropriate. Demand's 16-strikeout performance against Antioch last month was worthy of fireworks, and Friday the Lakes lefty got them. Which he earned again. After Demand pitched No. 2 Lakes to a 1-0 win over No. 3 Antioch in the teams' Class 3A Lakes regional semifinal, a small fireworks show briefly took place. "Perfect timing," Lakes coach Ray Gialo said. "Somebody must have been looking out for us, I guess."
Turner times it right as VH tops BG May 24, 2013 12:00 AM
Vernon Hills had to scratch and claw before coming away with a dramatic 32-30 win over Buffalo Grove in the decisive game three on boys volleyball sectional semifinal Friday at Antioch. It was the second win in a row for the comeback Cougars, who lost the first game, 21-25 but then won the second game 25-21. Vernon Hills, seeded fourth in the sectional and now 32-6, will return to Antioch to face No. 2 Deerfield at 7 p.m. on Tuesday for the sectional championship.
After a battle, Deerfield closes out Barrington May 24, 2013 12:00 AM
They say it's tough to beat the same team three times in one season. Boy, didn't Deerfield almost become Exhibit A. The No. 2 Warriors rolled Barrington twice during the regular season, but needed three games and a couple of extra volleys in game 3 to get a 25-15, 22-25, 26-24 victory over the Broncos in the Antioch sectional semifinal. Deerfield, which improves to 31-6, will take on Vernon Hills at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Antioch sectional final. Third-seeded Barrington closes out its season with a 28-9 record.

Neuqua Valley has a boring boys volleyball team. Delightfully, amazingly, successfully boring.
Kaneland puts itself in good position May 24, 2013 12:00 AM
Cahokia's runaway success in Friday's Class 2A preliminaries of the 119th boys state track meet did little to dampen Kaneland coach Eric Baron's spirits. "I don't think we have a shot at beating Cahokia. They're going to have to really blow up tomorrow," Baron said of the two-time defending state champs, who advanced an unheard-of 17 of 18 qualifiers into Saturday's finals at Eastern Illinois University. "But I think we're in the top three, we're right there," Baron said. "We'll come here and we'll do what we do. I told the boys, get as many into finals as we can and we were pretty close to what we thought we would get through today."
Nutof, South Elgin shut down Glenbard N. May 24, 2013 12:00 AM
South Elgin baseball victories tend to follow a formula: close games characterized by excellent starting pitching and just enough run support. The Storm adhered to that formula Friday in a 2-0 upset of No. 5 Glenbard North (19-12) in a Class 4A Wheaton North regional semifinal. No. 11 South Elgin (18-14) scored 2 first-inning runs and junior right-hander Ryan Nutof shut out the Panthers on 5 hits.

Semis elude Lin, Galvin May 24, 2013 12:00 AM
The allure of getting to play their game before huge crowds on the final day of the boys tennis state tournament eluded both Vincent Lin and Mack Galvin on Friday at Hersey High School in Arlington Heights. Lin (22-1), a sophomore, suffered his first defeat of the year to top seed Martin Joyce of Hinsdale Central in the quarterfinals. Galvin a freshman from Rolling Meadows, fell to 3-4 seed Jeremy Bush (29-4) of Stevenson in the fourth round, sending the two superb young players from the Mid-Suburban League into the backdraw.
Preliminarily, a good day May 24, 2013 12:00 AM
The pressure's on, but Lake Park's Antonio Shenault doesn't feel it ... much. In the preliminaries of the 119th boys state track meet Friday at Eastern Illinois University, the sophomore reached Saturday's finals of both the 110- and 300-meter hurdles. It helped the three-time defending Class 3A champion Lancers send 11 qualifiers into Saturday's finals, four more than Lyons Twp. and O'Fallon and one more than 2012 runner-up Edwardsville. Wheaton North, Naperville Central and York each advanced four events.
