St. Charles East on schedule, wins at Maine West Jan 10, 2015 8:20 PM
By Mike Garofola If St. Charles East hopes to repeat as Upstate Eight champs in a couple of weeks, it’s important that Jason Potter’s club is at full strength and in form when his Saints go to host Geneva to defend their crown. Consider that plan very much on track. On Saturday afternoon in Des Plaines, the Saints showed they are well equipped to lift another conference trophy by sweeping all three of their duals at Maine West, including an opener with Northern Illinois power DeKalb (14-4-0) with a thrilling 32-29 comeback victory. The Saints later bounced both Rolling Meadows (13-4-0) and the host Warriors to run their overall record to 13-4-0.

Training puts St. Charles schools in prime position Jan 6, 2015 3:56 PM
By Darryl Mellema Every high school sport gets a preseason. Boys swimming gets two. First is the traditional preseason, which takes place the two weeks before the early December start to the season. The second of these heavy training periods comes over Christmas Break, when most teams take a competitive break or limit themselves to one meet and train heavily.
Glenbard West gives St. Charles East a scare Jan 7, 2015 12:00 AM
By Dave Oberhelman One sign of a good team is winning without its best stuff. When St. Charles East deadeye guard Cole Gentry goes 2 of 5 from the free-throw line it’s an off night. Perhaps it was the 10-day layoff, the Tuesday nonconference game, but host Glenbard West had that layoff, too.

St. Charles East claims Chuck Dayton title Dec 27, 2014 11:19 PM
By John Lemon St. Charles East did everything possible to impress this week at the 87th annual Chuck Dayton Tournament, flashing its high-octane offense and turnover-forcing defense against one overwhelmed opponent after another. Everything except play a game with anything on the line in the second half — anything more than whether the Saints would reach triple digits. The Saints entered Saturday night’s championship game against host DeKalb having won their first three tournament games by an average of 37 points. The championship game proved more of the same, played in front of a large and lively crowd. The Saints were pushed for almost a half, their star in foul trouble — and they still ended up winning by 24.
Downers North tops St. Charles East in 3rd-place game Dec 27, 2014 11:26 PM
By Craig Brueske It was a forgettable first half for St. Charles East’s girls basketball team Saturday night. Held to 19 percent shooting from the field (4 of 21) during a 9-point opening half, the Saints (11-4) dug themselves a 14-point halftime hole that proved to be a little too deep.

St. Charles East stays hot at DeKalb Dec 23, 2014 10:28 PM
By Dave Oberhelman Just because St. Charles East scored 102 points Monday in the Saints’ first tournament game at DeKalb didn’t mean they were going to come in Tuesday all loosey-goosey.

St. Charles East scores 102 at Chuck Dayton tourney Dec 22, 2014 5:57 PM
By John Lemon Every coach could go for the type of problem St. Charles East’s Patrick Woods addressed in a timeout Monday in the first round of the 87th annual Chuck Dayton tournament in DeKalb. Woods called time with five minutes left against Mundelein to instruct his team on how to react if they reached 100 points. “I told the kids when you get 100 we’re not going to go wild on the bench,” Woods said. “I tried to get them to do a golf clap. It was a little more than a golf clap.” As Woods said, it’s a good problem to have. Mike Settle hit the 3-pointer — the team’s 14th of the game — to reach the century mark with 35 seconds left. Jeremy Champine added a layup for the final points in the Saints’ 102-66 win over Mundelein.
