Emotional win for Mundelein Dec 21, 2012 12:00 AM
Dedicating the game to longtime scorekeeper Jim Ackley, who passed away Tuesday at the age of 82, Mundelein started strong and never looked back in an 84-64 dismantling of host Zion-Benton Friday night. The Mustangs (6-4, 4-1) wore warm-up jerseys recognizing Ackley for his 50 years of service, then honored him with a performance that would have kept the popular scorekeeper busy all night. All five of Mundelein's senior starters scored in double figures in the North Suburban Lake Division contest.
Too much Yarbrough as Zion-Benton stops Warren Dec 15, 2012 12:00 AM
When a guy can nail his 3-pointers, run the court and slam dunk on fastbreaks and swat away shots in the lane, he's a difficult force with which to contend. Milik Yarbrough is that type of player, as he proved again Saturday night. The 6-foot-6 junior forward did all that and more, leading Zion-Benton to a 53-44 victory at Warren in a North Suburban Lake Division game. It marked the fifth win in a row for the Zee-Bees (9-1, 5-0), who used an up-tempo offense and a stifling defense to thwart the Blue Devils (6-5, 2-3).
Endgame favors Zion-Benton Nov 30, 2012 12:00 AM
It was the best of comebacks for Zion-Benton. It was the most disappointing of finishes for Stevenson.

And it left Patriots fans trying like the dickens to figure out how it slipped away.

Zee-Bees’ threes don’t please Stevenson Nov 29, 2012 12:00 AM
Here's a major reason for the latest Stevenson defeat. It goes down as a Zee-Bee Three-Bee. A Zee-Bee Three-Bee? That's simply a rain of 3-point shots from the visiting Zion-Benton Zee Bees. Winless Stevenson (0-4) was just 6 points down midway through the third quarter Thursday night in Lincolnshire. And then the 4-1 Zee-Bees turned it up and posted a decisive 67-47 NSC Lake Division victory.

Zion-Benton eliminates Stevenson May 25, 2012 12:00 AM
At the Barrington boys volleyball sectional, Stevenson ran smack dab into what some are saying is a team of destiny. Or maybe it's simply a talented, motivated swarm of Zee-Bees. But whatever you want to name them, there's one thing you can for certain call No. 6 seed Zion-Benton: Sectional finalists. Despite overcoming an almost insurmountable deficit in the second game, the Patriots fell 25-23, 23-25, 25-16 to the Zee-Bees in Friday's semifinals. Zion-Benton (29-8), led by the solid hitting of 6-foot-5 senior right side Josh Hieb (10 kills), moves on to play Barrington at 7 p.m. Tuesday night for the right to advance to next weekend's state finals.
