Fenwick turns away Stevenson May 18, 2013 12:00 AM
Host Stevenson knew it had a huge task on its hands in attempting to knock off perennial power Fenwick Saturday night for the boys water polo state championship. And after a one-year hiatus, the Friars' dynasty returned to the mountain top as they built a 7-3 lead over the Patriots after three quarters before finishing an impressive 10-4 victory for first place in Lincolnshire. Fenwick (31-5) has now won 10 state titles, including nine crowns in the past 10 seasons.
Stevenson strong in sectional win May 18, 2013 12:00 AM
There was nothing but black and green atop the victory stand Saturday afternoon when the Stevenson boys tennis sectional came to a close on the sun-kissed courts of the Vernon Hills Athletic Complex. The Patriots recorded a clean sweep at doubles, then watched a nearly three-hour match finally swing in favor of freshman Benjamin Bush over senior Varun Parekh (Barrington). That outcome gave the hosts Patriots a third-place singles medal to go along its championship singles hardware from Jeremy Bush as Stevenson wrapped up the team title.

Warren’s Ellis in title pursuit(s) May 17, 2013 12:00 AM
Warren sophomore Brittny Ellis is back in the running for a state title. Or, rather two state titles, as she advanced near the front of the pack in both the 200- and 400-meter dashes in Class 3A. Ellis won her qualifying 400 qualifying heat in 55.18 on Friday in the girls track and field state meet preliminaries at Eastern Illinois University.
Stevenson digs deep, knocks Conant from state tourney May 17, 2013 12:00 AM
Host Stevenson was rolling in the deep end of the pool Friday night in the second half of the Patriots' boys state water polo state quarterfinal game against Conant. The Cougars proved that their sparkling 30-3 record heading into the state tournament was for real as they led 2-1 after one quarter before the Pats rallied back to take a 5-4 halftime lead. The very close and evenly matched back-and-forth battle wound up being tied at 6-6 on a breakaway goal by Conant's Jon Burke with 4:12 left in the third quarter. But Stevenson (22-9-1) and goalie Rob O'Brien played shutout defense the rest of the way as 5 goals by junior Mitchell Sokolsky paved the way to a 9-6 Patriots victory.
Pats in command; Parekh advances May 17, 2013 12:00 AM
North Suburban Conference champ Stevenson dominated day one of its own tennis sectional Friday afternoon, but a pair of four-year veterans and a newcomer to the scene squeezed their way into the picture as play came to and end at the spacious Vernon Hills Athletic Complex. The Patriots are way ahead of the field in the team race with 16 points, and have qualified all four teams into next week's state tournament when Saturday's 9 a.m. semifinals begin day No. 2.

Richards rises to the sectional task at BG May 16, 2013 12:00 AM
The teams and competitors at the Class 3A Buffalo Grove boys track and field sectional learned quickly Thursday night what the North Suburban Conference, and in particular Mundelein, has known for some time. There really isn’t anything Mustangs sophomore Bryce Richards can’t do on the track. Take, for example, the third heat of the 800-meter run. With one lap remaining, Richards took command, but looked to be losing his grip on the race with 100 meters left. Instead of folding and falling out of the pack like many underclassmen before him might have done, Richards stormed back into the lead and won it. His school-record time of 1:55.33 is among the 10 fastest in the state this spring and earned Richards his first trip downstate. But he was hardly done there.

Vogt paces Libertyville triumph May 15, 2013 12:00 AM
Matt Vogt has been about as rock-solid as they come for Libertyville's baseball team the last two springs. The University of Minnesota-Duluth-bound senior displayed his talent again Wednesday, hitting a pair of home runs in the Wildcats' 14-0 win over Round Lake in a North Suburban Conference crossover.

Slot Mundelein as NSC Lake champs May 13, 2013 12:00 AM
On Monday in Lincolnshire, Mundelein's Mitch Schulewitz was handed the ball to secure a Lake Division title for the Mustangs. And the UIC-bound right-hander was brilliant, stopping Stevenson on three singles. He needed to be that good. That's because his mound opponent, Iowa-bound Matt Allen, was almost as sharp. Allen at least can tell a story about how his team committed 4 errors in the first inning yet allowed just one runner to score. Mundelein (24-3) clinched North Suburban Conference Lake Division title with a 3-0 win.
