  Pohl, Fremd close out Barrington’s gallant challenge May 13, 2012 12:00 AM
  Eric the closer Pohl finished off another championship for Fremds boys tennis team. Last month, the Vikings sophomore won the final match of the day to help his team outlast rival Barrington to clinch the Mid-Suburban West crown. And on an otherwise dreary Saturday afternoon at Palatine, Pohl brightened the day for all of his teammates with a straight-set victory over Barrington freshman Ishaan Jaglan to clinch the MSL title for Fremd the second straight under coach Matt Duncan. Eric was my No. 1 go-to guy today, said Duncan, who, like his closer wasnt aware that a victory from Jaglan would have elevated the Broncos past his own team. That would have completed a big run for coach John Roncones team when it had seemed all had been lost.
