Tasty victory for Warren May 21, 2013 12:00 AM
The cookies were a great postgame snack. But maybe the next time the Warren boys volleyball team plays, they should be brought out ahead of time. “We needed the cookies,” Warren senior outside hitter Riley Capizzi said with a laugh. “We needed the sugar.” The sixth-seeded Blue Devils got a 25-13, 25-22 win over No. 11 Carmel in regional semifinal play on Tuesday, but it wasn’t necessarily as sweet as they were hoping it would be.
Ellis’ winning hue: A second coat of blue May 18, 2013 12:00 AM
She blended nearly as perfectly as she ran. All dressed in blue on the O'Brien Stadium blue, under a blue sky, with blue bleachers above, Warren Blue Devil Brittny Ellis dominated in her Year Two at EIU. "Last year was just totally new for me," the speedy sophomore said. "I didn't know what was going on. "But now," she added, smiling, "I feel like I belong here." So true, girl in blue. Her feats may have been new to the IHSA track world last spring, but what Ellis does on a track is getting old, yet no less exhilarating. She won the Class 3A 400-meter dash for the second year in a row Saturday, successfully defending her title by burning off a 54.34 to edge the equally amazing Cameron Pettigrew. The Chicago Payton star sped to a time of 54.84.

The host Rams fought off a 4-0 deficit and then ultimately overcame a 7-4 deficit by scoring 3 runs in the bottom of the seventh inning. Matt Loeffl came up with the winning hit when he ripped a bases-loaded, one-out single to plate Jay Hoffman, who had earlier doubled.

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.

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.
