Defense lifts St. Charles East over Lake Park Feb 11, 2013 12:00 AM
A quality of a good basketball team is the ability to win when things aren't necessarily going your way. On a night where the 3-pointers weren't dropping with any regularity and shooting in general was a bit off, St. Charles East's girls basketball team kicked in another phase of its game during Monday's Class 4A regional tournament opener against Lake Park. Clinging to a 26-21 halftime advantage, the Saints (17-11) turned up their full-court defensive pressure and forced 14 third-quarter turnovers during a 23-13 surge that helped extend the lead to 49-34. From there, St. Charles East put the game away with 10 fourth-quarter free throws during their 67-49 victory over the Lancers (1-27).

St. Charles East blows out Batavia Feb 9, 2013 12:00 AM
St. Charles East junior guard Dom Adduci started Saturday’s game against Batavia swishing long 3-pointers, making off-balance leaners and causing trouble for the Bulldogs’ ballhandlers. In other words, like most any Dom Adduci game. Except this night was a little extra special at St. Charles East, not just for Adduci but players on both sides of the Tri-Cities rivalry. St. Charles East hosted its first Hoops for Hope, an event to raise money for the Jimmy V Foundation for Cancer Research. Every player on both teams was introduced before the game with the player listing who he would be playing the game in memory and in honor of. Adduci named his mother Jill, diagnosed with breast cancer four years ago. Jill Adduci was the chairwoman for the night which included numerous raffle items, a Jimmy V video presentation, the coaching staffs wearing sneakers, and at the end of the game players, cheerleaders and fans holding up a shoe in honor of cancer survivors. Dom Adduci got the Saints going early with 10 points in the first quarter. St. Charles East led 16-7 after the quarter and used a 14-0 run in the third quarter to turn the game into a blowout, winning 57-28 at a nearly packed St. Charles East gym.

Seven Panthers competed in championship matches Saturday afternoon. Six wrestled their way to individual titles, thereby lifting Glenbard North (222 points) to the team title ahead of Wheaton North (183.5) and St. Charles East (174.5). “I thought we wrestled pretty tough,” Glenbard North coach Mark Hahn said. “We wanted the whole team to contribute points and we needed everybody — even if they weren’t seeded as well — to score points and everybody did. We knew it would be really close with St. Charles (East) and Wheaton North. We knew it would be a battle and I thought we stepped up.”
