Heading to Champaign next weekend? Your probabilities of running into a few young men with bleached blonde hair are looking strong. And when you do, you will have found Glenbard North's 7 state-qualified wrestlers, all hoping for individual state titles and traditionally wearing the hairdos. Success for the Panthers came easy at the Class 3A Maine East sectional Saturday afternoon as Jon Marmolego (120 pounds), Jered Cortez (126) and Brian Murphy (152) all grabbed first-place wins in their respective weight classes, while Jimique Davis at 160 took second place, Patrick Augstyn (106) and Johnny Gosinski (132) placed third and Colton Wegner (170) sneaked into Champaign in fourth place. “We brought 10 guys here, seven got out and I can remember when we'd be happy if we got one guy out,” said Panthers' coach Mark Hahn. “To get seven guys out that's pretty good. We had five in the finals, pretty good tournament, all the way around.”

Barrington brings out the best Feb 9, 2013 12:00 AM
Welcome to Barrington, Mid-Suburban League competitors. You were guests one of the finest boys swimming teams in the history of the conference, and more supporting evidence came forth Saturday. The host Broncos finished with 273 points to win the MSL championships in workmanlike fashion. Barrington answered challenges to win all three relays, but beyond that their only victory came from Kyle Ujiye in the 100-yard butterfly (50.46). That oddity is simply due to the overall balance of top-level swimmers in the conference, though. And no one else could come close to matching the completeness of Barrington’s lineup. “With the team we have, our focus this year really has to be on swimming our best at state,” said Barrington senior Jack Strauss, who was second in the 200 free and 100 free and anchored the Broncos’ freestyle relays. “Our goal for this meet was mainly to be consisent with our times across the board, and I think we pretty much did that.”

St. Viator girls basketball coach Christina Jost and her players knew they were going up against a quality team in Marist on Saturday afternoon at the Cahill Gymnasium. So what better way to tune up for a Class 3A regional next Tuesday? “We kind of took that mindset,” Jost said after the talented Redhawks came away with a 76-39 victory in the East Suburban Catholic Conference finale. “We knew Marist (21-9, 7-3) was a very good team and obviously well-coached. “So we were using it as a good way to prepare for the state tournament. I don’t see us playing teams as tough as them early on, so hopefully this will help us.”
