Downers South holds off WarriorsFeb 8, 2013 12:00 AM
You couldn’t ask for a better momentum starter than Danny Spinuzza’s third-quarter off-the-backboard pass to Downers Grove South teammate Robert Mara for a dunk. And you also couldn’t ask for a more fierce rally than what Willowbrook’s boys basketball team accomplished at the start of the fourth quarter. By the end of a crazy second half, Downers South managed to restore enough order to claim Friday’s 47-39 West Suburban Gold Conference win over the visiting Warriors.

Neuqua Valley's boys basketball team is zeroing in on a seventh conference title and first since 2010. Defending champion Metea Valley (15-8, 8-2) hopes 5-17 South Elgin — which Neuqua (22-2, 10-1 UEC Valley) beat 71-32 on Dec. 15 — can pull off the upset and the Mustangs can beat Waubonsie Valley and Bartlett to force a first-place tie.
Barrington edges Willowbrook Feb 2, 2013 12:00 AM
Less than 24 hours after notching a Mid Suburban League win, Barrington’s boys basketball team hit the road for a nonconference game against an unfamiliar opponent in Willowbrook. Every foot of Saturday’s 30-mile trip to Villa Park hinted of a letdown for the Broncos, but they weren’t about to let the chance of a weekend sweep slip away. Barrington held off a fierce effort from Willowbrook, creating a pleasant bus ride home with a 61-59 victory over the Warriors.

Willowbrook falls to Hinsdale South Jan 24, 2013 12:00 AM
Toni Romiti, she’s worth the price of admission. “Seriously,” laughed her coach, Hinsdale South’s Jen Belmonte. “And we don’t even charge.” Romiti scored 30 points Thursday night in Darien, lighting No. 14 Willowbrook up for seven 3-pointers in the Hornets’ 52-46 win that temporarily denied the Warriors a share of the West Suburban Gold title.

As usual, shootout won’t be easy for MontiniJan 17, 2013 12:00 AM
Jason Nichols has never won a game at the McDonald’s Shootout, and there’s a good reason for that. He always asks to play the best team available. His Montini teams more often than not get it. This year is no different.

Mara measures up for Downers Grove South Jan 4, 2013 12:00 AM
Downers Grove South senior center Robert Mara has the type of profile that gets NCAA Division III coaches excited. The 6-foot-8 Mara boasts plenty of athleticism and ability to run the floor. But because he's in his first year as a starter, he showcases improved skills virtually every time out and makes it fun for the coaches to project his ceiling. With Todd Raridon, leader of top-ranked North Central College, among the D-III coaches in the house Friday night at Willowbrook, Mara stacked up 24 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocks to pace the Mustangs to a 59-48 West Suburban Gold victory in Villa Park.
Another extra special win for Willowbrook Jan 4, 2013 12:00 AM
Willowbrook is growing quite accustomed to comebacks, and close calls. The 16th-ranked Warriors rallied from an 11-point halftime deficit Friday at Downers Grove South, watched the Mustangs hit a tying 3-pointer to force overtime, but never trailed in the extra session and won 54-50. Willowbrook (14-3, 6-0 West Suburban Gold) won its third straight game — two of them in overtime — and in all three the Warriors trailed at the half.
