• King’s versatility helps Wauconda net victory Feb 2, 2013 12:00 AM
  Devon King doesn’t bring a high-and-mighty attitude to the Wauconda boys basketball team. “I’ll play anything they need me to play,” the 6-foot-2 senior said after Saturday’s nonconference game at McHenry. Wauconda coach Scott Luetschwager knows how much he needs to have King playing. It showed in a 57-47 victory as King scored 13 points on 5-for-6 shooting from the field and had 9 rebounds and 3 assists to help his team improve to 12-11 with just its second win in six games.

• Curry, Vernon Hills rally for sweet win over Wauconda Feb 1, 2013 12:00 AM
  The occasions are rare that Vernon Hills coach Matt McCarty has to remind senior Stephen Curry to be more aggressive on the basketball floor. But this unusual scenario occurred Friday night when the Cougars hosted Wauconda in a North Suburban Conference Prairie Division contest, Curry had a very good reason for his slow start to the game. “A couple of our coaches saw him munching on Puppy Chow and cupcakes before the game,” McCarty said. The goodies were a bit too good for birthday boy Curry. But when he finally shook off the effects of the sugar high, everything was sweet for the Cougars. Curry turned the game around with 6 big points to end the first half and finished with a game-high 17 to lead Vernon Hills to a come-from-behind 58-44 win over the Bulldogs.

  Libertyville prevails in NSC battle with Grant Jan 26, 2013 12:00 AM
  Once again it was a two-team race Saturday as defending champion Grant and archrival Libertyville battled it out for the North Suburban Conference wrestling championship. The Bulldogs held a slim 9-point advantage over Libertyville heading into the second day of the 57th annual league meet, held at Stevenson. But the Wildcats turned the tables in the semifinal round to win 223.5 to 211.5 over Grant. The victory marked the fourth NSC crown in five years for Libertyville, and its 19th overall. It looks like No. 20 is a strong possibility next year, with the abundance of young talent on the Wildcats roster.
  

   

• Big finish helps Stevenson’s Wittert to NSC crown Jan 25, 2013 12:00 AM
  Saving the best game for the last one of the day sure worked out for Ashley Wittert. The Stevenson senior rolled a 235 final game. That moved her from third place, 58 pins back, straight to the North Suburban Conference girls bowling individual championship on Friday. Wittert did much the same thing a couple of years ago as a sophomore and went on to advance out of the sectional for a trip to state. In the team competition, Zion-Benton rolled to an NSC title with 5,383 pins to top runner-up Stevenson (5,163) and third-place Wauconda (5,061) at Bertrand Lanes in Waukegan.

• Swenson, Wauconda air it out vs. Round Lake Jan 25, 2013 12:00 AM
  All Austin Swenson was missing was the football helmet and pads. If those long, pinpoint passes delivered by the Wauconda senior looked familiar, they should have been. The all-area quarterback showed off his throwing accuracy on the basketball court in Wauconda's 71-42 win over visiting Round Lake on Friday night. Swenson finished the North Suburban Prairie Division contest with 18 points, including four 3-pointers, 10 rebounds and 7 assists. He was constantly grabbing defensive boards and peeking downcourt to hit a teammate in stride. Kodey Thomas was often on the receiving end.
