Mid-Suburban League lands three state swimming finalists Feb 27, 2015 11:07 PM
By Gregg Voss Jake Barson had a steely, confident look atop the starting block seconds before hitting the pool in the 100-yard breaststroke at Friday’s boys swimming and diving state championships. He had this. And a mere 57.38 seconds later, he made it official. Barson broke his own school record in winning his preliminary heat en route to placing fourth overall and advancing to Saturday’s championship finals at New Trier. He was one of three Mid-Suburban League swimmers to finish in the top six, thereby earning a shot at a state title. The others were Elk Grove’s Colin Williams, who qualified fifth in the 100 butterfly (49.70) and Barrington’s Colin O’Leary, sixth in the 100 backstroke (51.17).
Wheaton North’s St. George elbows his way to state record Feb 27, 2015 11:35 PM

Bolman speaks volumes for Grayslake North Feb 27, 2015 11:36 PM
By John Phelps Here’s a classic case of hoping word travels really fast. Chances are it will, and it’s largely due to the buzz that Grayslake North senior Brenden Bolman has helped create for the school’s swimming program. The Knights don’t have their own pool, nor do they have a full team. “I can’t wait until word gets back to our A.D. and the school,” Bolman said after qualifying for the finals in two events of the boys swimming and diving state finals held at New Trier High School on Friday. “I wish we had a team, but it’s still great to represent our school and make a name for Grayslake North. The support has been terrific.”

Myhre, St. Charles North off to fast start Feb 27, 2015 11:23 PM
By Aaron Gabriel It all came into focus for St. Charles North. After the preliminaries of the boys swimming and diving state meet at New Trier on Friday, coach Rob Rooney was reflecting on how much had gone well for his team — and particularly junior Joe Myhre.
Cary-Grove’s Langanis continues to develop Feb 27, 2015 11:00 PM
By Aaron Gabriel Cary-Grove junior Cooper Langanis certainly does not lack aggressiveness. In the preliminaries of the boys swimming and diving state meet, Langanis was competing in the longest race of the meet, the 500-yard freestyle. His first 100 yards of the race were completed in 51.10 seconds, the kind of speed that would make many a sprinter proud. The rest of the race didn’t go as well, but Langanis still came close to his seed time in a 25th-place finish (4:43.48). Earlier, Langanis also finished 25th in his other individual race, the 200 free.

Jacobs notches 14th win in a row Feb 27, 2015 11:55 PM
By Steve Nichols When Jacobs boys basketball coach Jimmy Roberts analyzed his team’s schedule after a disappointing fourth place finish in the Hinkle Holiday Classic, he told his team there was absolutely no reason for it to lose and of its final 14 regular-season games. In fact, Roberts said he was going to do everything he possibly could to win 14-straight, and knew his Golden Eagles had it in them, too. Parts 1 through 13, completed over the last 8 weeks, racked up an undefeated Fox Valley Conference Valley Division crown and nonconference wins against Waukegan, Elgin and Libertyville. But part 14 of that long, second-half odyssey finally concluded Friday on Senior Night when Jacobs beat Prairie Ridge 71-61 in Algonquin in an FVC crossover between the two division leaders for the unofficial conference title.
St. Charles East thumps Riverside-Brookfield Feb 27, 2015 11:31 PM
By Dave Oberhelman Statement game, statement made. Spillover parking and gaudy records served notice that, despite being held on the final day of the boys basketball regular season, St. Charles East at Riverside-Brookfield was a sectional-style game.
South Elgin holds off Bartlett Feb 27, 2015 11:07 PM
By Seth Hancock The regular season finale at South Elgin between the host Storm and visiting Bartlett had a postseason atmosphere as the Upstate Eight Conference Valley Division boys basketball rivals squared off for the second time this season on Friday. After Bartlett ran away with a 75-53 home win earlier this month, the rematch remained tight right to the end. With the Storm holding a 3-point lead, the Hawk leading scorer Ryan DiCanio was open and got one last shot from deep to try and force overtime. South Elgin’s Matt Smith, one of three players with 9 points to lead the Storm, was sitting on the bench after fouling out seconds before, and he breathed a sigh of relief when DiCanio’s shot missed allowing the Storm to win 43-40 and snap a 4-game skid.
Motivated Hampshire rolls over McHenry Feb 27, 2015 10:46 PM
By Marty Maciaszek High school basketball careers are nearing the finish line for Hampshire’s seniors and retiring head coach Bob Barnett.

Cary-Grove wins but Gregoire injured Feb 27, 2015 10:40 PM

Forcing 22 Grayslake Central turnovers and holding the Rams to 15 field goals, the Trojans were able to post a 48-39 win in Fox Valley Conference boys basketball crossover action in Cary.
First regional title for St. Edward since 2009 Feb 28, 2015 12:03 AM
By Kevin Schmit If it’s tough to beat a team twice in a season, imagine what St. Edward’s boys basketball team faced in trying to knock of IC Catholic Prep for a fourth time in a showdown that meant more than the previous three games combined. The Green Wave did it again, pulling out a 41-40 victory in Friday’s Class 2A Lisle regional title game. St. Edward (24-5), a regional champion for the first time since 2009 and a win shy of matching the program record for wins in a season, faces Fieldcrest in Wednesday’s El Paso-Gridley sectional semifinals.

By Mike Miazga Streamwood alum Hannah McGlone picked the perfect time to have a career night. McGlone, a freshman, poured in a college career-high 19 points to help the Winona State women’s basketball team record a 67-62 victory over University of Mary in the first round of the NSIC tournament.
