• Big defensive finish key for Conant May 11, 2013 12:00 AM
  Conant, the top seed in the Fremd boys water polo sectional, was getting all it wanted from Hoffman Estates on Saturday afternoon. The No. 3 seed Hawks, after springing an upset on No. 2 Fremd the previous night, were within 7-5 late in the third quarter. It seemed like Hoffman Estates had every chance to stay in the game, and perhaps even pull a stunner. Conant had other ideas. Senior Jon Burke scored on a man-up possession at the end of the third quarter, and the Cougars didn't allow another goal the rest of the way in an 11-5 victory. Conant (30-3) earned its first state tournament trip since 2007 and will face Stevenson at 7 p.m. Friday in the Elite Eight at Stevenson.

On Saturday in Fremd's pool, the roles were reversed as Barrington edged the Vikings 12-10. It was sweet music indeed for the Mid-Suburban League champs.
