• Fremd dominates South Elgin May 26, 2012 12:00 AM
  Fremd senior Megan Hubbard may qualify for the understatement of the year. "I've been hitting pretty well lately," said Hubbard, with a straight face. Already the Vikings' career home run leader, Hubbard set the school's single-season mark Saturday with a 3-run bomb to center field in the third inning of Fremd's 14-0 five-inning with over South Elgin in the championship game of the Class 4A Fremd softball regional.

• Barrington’s Coll-Parekh exit after standout season May 25, 2012 12:00 AM
  After a cameo in the round of 16 at the state tennis tournament, the Barrington team of George Coll and Varun Parekh bid farewell to its doubles opponents in the championship bracket. One round later, the Broncos standout duo fell in three sets to Bloomington's Ricky Zamudio-Nathan Cavanaugh at Buffalo Grove late Friday afternoon, ending their tournament run. The straight-set loss finished a marvelous postseason which included a Mid-Suburban League title, a second-place finish at the Schaumburg sectional and a 3-2 state tournament record following a 6-1, 4-6, 4-6 defeat to the Bloomington tandem.

  Charlie Vogel's terrific tennis career came to an end Thursday afternoon when the Elgin Academy star lost his second match of the day at the state tournament, but not without treating perhaps the largest, and most loyal fan group at the Hoffman Estates High School. With several members of his family and friends on hand, plus nearly a dozen special young guests courtside, Vogel would win his opener over Pranv Puri of Moline, before losing in straight-sets to 9-16 seed Scott Christian from Lake Forest.

  Fox Valley could be showered in medals this weekend May 24, 2012 12:00 AM
  The medal stand at the boys state track and field meet at Eastern Illinois University could be littered with Fox Valley area athletes this weekend. Among the brightest hopes to win state titles in Class 3A are Elgin's 800-meter relay team and Cary-Grove senior thrower Josh Freeman. Elgin seniors Terrell Campbell, Devante King, Derek Moorman and Dennis Moore will attempt to win the first state track title for their school since Tony Adams won back-to-back 440-yard dash titles in 1978 and 1979, according to IHSA records. The foursome set the school record in the 800-meter relay at the St. Charles North sectional (1:27.83).
  

   

• South Elgin springs upset on Lake Zurich at FremdMay 23, 2012 12:00 AM
  From the first inning, it was clear this was going to be a pretty wild softball game between No. 5 seed Lake Zurich and No. 11 South Elgin Wednesday afternoon in Class 4A regional semifinal play at Fremd. The Storm jumped ahead of Lake Zurich 2-0 in the top of the first before falling behind 4-3 after four innings in this slugfest. But persistence paid off in the end for South Elgin as the Storm scored 3 runs on 2 hits in the top of the fifth before adding an insurance run in the sixth en route to a 7-4 upset victory over the Bears. The Storm (14-19) will play No. 3 Fremd (29-7) for the regional championship at 10 a.m. Saturday. Lake Zurich closed out its season with a 24-10 record.

  Elgin snags 1st sectional title since 1988 May 19, 2012 12:00 AM
  Elgin's Eric Chai and Sakda Kethdy were momentarily distracted during their third-place match on Saturday at the IHSA Elgin boys tennis sectional. The duo couldn't help but cheer as teammate Mikel Canovas won his first singles title by pulling off an upset of South Elgin's Andre Norasith in 3 sets (4-6, 6-4, 6-2). Chai and Kethdy quickly refocused and scored a 3-set victory over Jacobs' Kingsley Bernardo and Kristian Bernardo (7-5, 2-6, 7-5). The victories sent Elgin to its first sectional team title since 1988 on its own court with the Maroons (21 points) just edging out defending sectional champion South Elgin (20).

  Bartlett played the bend but dont break game with South Elgin Friday, and the Hawks never snapped. While its 6-3 win over the Storm may not have been Bartletts crispest win this season, it brought the Hawks one game closer to the Upstate Eight Conference Valley Division championship, which they can claim outright with a win over second-place Waubonsie Valley at home on Monday. With 4 conference games to play, Bartlett maintained a 3-game lead over Waubonsie with Fridays win.

  School safety legislation arising from the 2008 stabbing of an Elgin High School teacher by a student has stalled in an Illinois Senate criminal law committee, and its sponsor says she is considering narrowing its scope with the hope a version could then pass. The bill was prompted by a Daily Herald investigation into the lack of communication between schools and police about troubled teens.
