  New Philharmonic gets three-concert reprieve Feb 11, 2013 12:00 AM
  A 36-year-old professional orchestra that appeared to be playing its last note at the College of DuPage is getting an encore. College officials have agreed to give the New Philharmonic orchestra a 3-concert season in 2013-14 after receiving letters and emails from patrons upset that the 80-member ensemble might have given its final curtain call at a January concert. The orchestra had been performing at the college's McAninch Arts Center in Glen Ellyn until this season, when a $35 million renovation project began that forced the orchestra to schedule concerts off-campus.

• Productive day for Glenbard N. at Maine EastFeb 9, 2013 12:00 AM
  Heading to Champaign next weekend? Your probabilities of running into a few young men with bleached blonde hair are looking strong. And when you do, you will have found Glenbard North's 7 state-qualified wrestlers, all hoping for individual state titles and traditionally wearing the hairdos. Success for the Panthers came easy at the Class 3A Maine East sectional Saturday afternoon as Jon Marmolego (120 pounds), Jered Cortez (126) and Brian Murphy (152) all grabbed first-place wins in their respective weight classes, while Jimique Davis at 160 took second place, Patrick Augstyn (106) and Johnny Gosinski (132) placed third and Colton Wegner (170) sneaked into Champaign in fourth place. “We brought 10 guys here, seven got out and I can remember when we'd be happy if we got one guy out,” said Panthers' coach Mark Hahn. “To get seven guys out that's pretty good. We had five in the finals, pretty good tournament, all the way around.”

  Led by Marvin Grant-Clark’s game-high 17 points with two others scoring in double digits and a defense that put the clamps on a very good offense, it was no surprise after Glenbard East’s 66-51 win over visiting Naperville North on Friday that talk was about overall team play and defense. “Defense is the key. If we get our stops, the offense is going to come,” Grant-Clark said. “I thought we were very unselfish.” Mike Kjeldsen followed Grant-Clark with 16 points and Tahron Harvey had 13.

Glenbard South jumped ahead of the Bison 13-0 and eventually claimed the Metro Suburban Conference girls contest 49-26. But after the great start, the Raiders (19-6, 10-2) didn’t make a single shot from the floor in the second quarter and the Bison tied the game at 15 before a pair of Taylor Malone free throws gave the home team a 17-15 lead at the break.
