• Cattenhead a hit for Glenbard South May 13, 2013 12:00 AM
  To say Ashton Cattenhead has been a pleasant surprise for Glenbard South only tells half the story. It was a surprise she's even here. Cattenhead played for Glenbard South's freshman team two years ago, then moved to Huntley her sophomore year. Julie Fonda, the Raiders softball coach, didn't realize Cattenhead was back until she bumped into her in the hallway last fall.
  

   

• Hohman, Waubonsie Valley shut down Bartlett May 11, 2013 12:00 AM
  It's not very often a team starts a day with a lead in a game, but it worked to the advantage of Waubonsie Valley and sophomore ace Shannon Hohman. Leading Bartlett 1-0 with one out and a runner on first base in the bottom of the first inning when the rain-suspended game resumed on Saturday at Bartlett, Hohman and the Warriors got the final two outs of that inning. the right-hander settled into a groove, her team added 3 more runs and just like that there's another tie for the lead in the Upstate Eight Conference Valley Division softball race. Waubonsie's 4-0 win over the Hawks technically puts the Warriors in first with a 13-3 league record. Bartlett is 11-3, Lake Park 12-4, Neuqua Valley 11-5 and South Elgin 10-5 heading into what promises to be a riveting final week of the regular season.

  How does a loss turn into a win? You might want to ask Metea Valley's baseball team. Even though a stunning rally still resulted in a 12-11 nine-inning loss to Waubonsie Valley in Game 1 of Saturday's Upstate Eight Conference doubleheader, the host Mustangs managed to roll the momentum into a 6-0 victory in the second game.

• Waubonsie Valley nets UEC title May 8, 2013 12:00 AM
  Some electrical problems left St. Charles North's scoreboard partially operational for much of Wednesday's Upstate Eight Conference girls soccer title match between Valley Division winners Waubonsie Valley and the hosts, winners of the River Division. When the scoreboard lit fully late in the second half, it reinforced what everyone in the stands and on the field knew — Waubonsie Valley was on its way to a comfortable 3-0 victory and its seventh straight victory.

  Play a clean defensive game with solid pitching, and you always have a chance. That's how Neuqua Valley's baseball team beat Waubonsie Valley despite managing only 4 hits.

• Kurth sparks Waubonsie comeback May 7, 2013 12:00 AM
  Jordan Kurth hadn't thrown a pitch in a game in over a month. A recent slump dropped her in Waubonsie Valley's batting order until Tuesday. Then Kurth proceeded to key a most improbable Warriors rally. Kurth's single started a four-run seventh inning, she threw two-plus shutout innings of relief, then singled in the game-winner in the eighth as No. 11 Waubonsie turned the tables on a loss to No. 20 Neuqua Valley a week prior with a 5-4 win in Naperville.

  Everyone inside Waubonsie Valley's hot, sticky gymnasium knew where Metea Valley was going with its attack. Unfortunately for the Warriors, there was nothing they could do to stop Mustangs senior outside Martin Krasuski. Krasuski, a three-year starter, had 26 kills while helping the Mustangs rally past the Warriors in three games, 19-25, 25-17, 25-17 in an Upstate Eight Conference Valley Division match played on Tuesday evening in Aurora.
