  Fremd senior Megan Hubbard may qualify for the understatement of the year. "I've been hitting pretty well lately," said Hubbard, with a straight face. Already the Vikings' career home run leader, Hubbard set the school's single-season mark Saturday with a 3-run bomb to center field in the third inning of Fremd's 14-0 five-inning with over South Elgin in the championship game of the Class 4A Fremd softball regional.

• Barrington’s Coll-Parekh exit after standout season May 25, 2012 12:00 AM
  After a cameo in the round of 16 at the state tennis tournament, the Barrington team of George Coll and Varun Parekh bid farewell to its doubles opponents in the championship bracket. One round later, the Broncos standout duo fell in three sets to Bloomington's Ricky Zamudio-Nathan Cavanaugh at Buffalo Grove late Friday afternoon, ending their tournament run. The straight-set loss finished a marvelous postseason which included a Mid-Suburban League title, a second-place finish at the Schaumburg sectional and a 3-2 state tournament record following a 6-1, 4-6, 4-6 defeat to the Bloomington tandem.

  Elgin Academy’s Vogel bows out at state May 24, 2012 12:00 AM
  Charlie Vogel's terrific tennis career came to an end Thursday afternoon when the Elgin Academy star lost his second match of the day at the state tournament, but not without treating perhaps the largest, and most loyal fan group at the Hoffman Estates High School. With several members of his family and friends on hand, plus nearly a dozen special young guests courtside, Vogel would win his opener over Pranv Puri of Moline, before losing in straight-sets to 9-16 seed Scott Christian from Lake Forest.

  Elgin’s big 7th does in Barrington May 24, 2012 12:00 AM
  When Barrington's Macray Poidomani smashed a 3-run homer to center field in the bottom of the fourth inning into a strong wind to break a 1-1 tie, Elgin could have easily waved the white flag much like the winds did all afternoon. Elgin's Ryan Sitter accounted for the only Maroons' hit up to that point and with the lack of run support all season, Elgin could have started Memorial Day weekend early. But Elgin answered right back with 3 runs in the fifth to tie it and then came the unexpected, granddaddy seventh, where the Maroons rallied for 8 runs on 3 Bronco errors to take a 12-5 comeback win in a Class 4A Larkin regional semifinal.

  Fox Valley could be showered in medals this weekend May 24, 2012 12:00 AM
  The medal stand at the boys state track and field meet at Eastern Illinois University could be littered with Fox Valley area athletes this weekend. Among the brightest hopes to win state titles in Class 3A are Elgin's 800-meter relay team and Cary-Grove senior thrower Josh Freeman. Elgin seniors Terrell Campbell, Devante King, Derek Moorman and Dennis Moore will attempt to win the first state track title for their school since Tony Adams won back-to-back 440-yard dash titles in 1978 and 1979, according to IHSA records. The foursome set the school record in the 800-meter relay at the St. Charles North sectional (1:27.83).

• No. 16 Bartlett shocks top seed Geneva May 23, 2012 12:00 AM
  Bartlett walked into the baseball postseason very relaxed. As the No. 1 seed, Geneva had all the pressure on it. After taking a 1-0 lead in the third inning, Bartlett continued to apply that pressure in a semifinal game of the Class 4A Lake Park regional in Roselle Wednesday. Geneva was never able to get the bats going and Bartlett scored both of its runs during innings in which it did not record a hit. With the shocking 2-0 win, the 16th-seeded Hawks (18-19) await the winner of today's game between Glenbard West and Lake Park in Saturday's 11 a.m. championship game.
  

   

• South Elgin springs upset on Lake Zurich at FremdMay 23, 2012 12:00 AM
  From the first inning, it was clear this was going to be a pretty wild softball game between No. 5 seed Lake Zurich and No. 11 South Elgin Wednesday afternoon in Class 4A regional semifinal play at Fremd. The Storm jumped ahead of Lake Zurich 2-0 in the top of the first before falling behind 4-3 after four innings in this slugfest. But persistence paid off in the end for South Elgin as the Storm scored 3 runs on 2 hits in the top of the fifth before adding an insurance run in the sixth en route to a 7-4 upset victory over the Bears. The Storm (14-19) will play No. 3 Fremd (29-7) for the regional championship at 10 a.m. Saturday. Lake Zurich closed out its season with a 24-10 record.
