Dundee-Crown claims crown at Elgin Oct 19, 2013 12:00 AM
Weber 2nd, Burlington C. settle for 4th at state Oct 19, 2013 12:00 AM
Matt Weber assumed he was left with no choice but to be aggressive on his final green of the boys Class 2A state golf tournament Saturday at the DA Weibring Golf Club. The Burlington Central senior trailed playing companion Danny Gorman, a Rockford Boylan senior, by a shot for the individual state championship. Reaching the par-4 finishing hole in regulation, Weber, level par for his first 35 holes of the tournament, sent his approach putt six feet past. “I didn’t make the comebacker,” Weber said. Gorman also missed his par putt, but his second consecutive even-par round of 71 gave him a one-shot victory over Weber.
Jacobs’ Van Vlierbergen runs to FVC victory Oct 19, 2013 12:00 AM
Even accomplished runners get a little anxious before big races. That was case for the eventual champion in Saturday’s Fox Valley Conference girls cross country meet in Woodstock. “I was really nervous,’’ said Jacobs champion Lauren Van Vlierbergen.
McHenry’s Reiser rises to FVC challenge Oct 19, 2013 12:00 AM
That No. 130 in McHenry’s lineup is quite the runner. Jesse Reiser began his cross country career back in sixth grade. And now, five years later, he’s got the quite the racing resume going. “I’ve lost one race this year and won the rest,’’ Reiser said. Add one more win to his record. On Saturday at the Fox Valley Conference meet in Woodstock, his time of 15:30.5 was four seconds ahead of the second-place finisher.
Jacobs’ Kosy prevails in family affair Oct 19, 2013 12:00 AM
For Ashley Kosy, playing in a sectional singles championship match was hard enough. Playing for a title against your cousin is even more nerve-racking. But Kosy didn’t let the situation bother her. The Jacobs sophomore defeated Elgin’s Dahlia Keonavonga 6-4, 6-3 to win Saturday’s Huntley sectional and advance to the state meet next weekend. It is Kosy’s second trip to the state tournament.
Jacobs parties like it’s 1979 Oct 18, 2013 12:00 AM
The 34-year drought is over. Jacobs scored touchdowns on its first three possessions and held off a second-half rally by Huntley to clinch a share of its first conference or division title in the Fox Valley since 1979 with a 27-20 road win Friday night. “Obviously, I wasn’t alive then, but for the school and the community this is awesome,” Jacobs senior quarterback Bret Mooney said. “Everyone is ecstatic.” Jacobs (6-2, 5-0 FVC Valley) won its sixth straight game, thanks to a balanced offense that gained 345 yards and an opportunistic defense that held the Red Raiders scoreless for a half and came up with 3 second-half turnovers.
Weber, Burlington Central in contention for state titles Oct 18, 2013 12:00 AM
Regardless of gender or sport, Burlington Central has never captured a team state championship. But after opening-round action Friday at the boys Class 2A state golf finals on the campus of Illinois State University, Central is in prime position to end the ever-elusive hunt for a school first. Matt Weber, whose junior campaign came to an ignominious conclusion with a state suspension for playing in an unsanctioned national tournament, toured the DA Weibring par-71 layout in 4-under par to open his front side. The Indiana-bound senior gave all 4 shots back on his inward nine, but his level-par 71 was not only good for a second-place tie but, even more important, the anchor score for the Rockets’ 314 total. Four teams are separated by two shots headed into final-round action Saturday as Pontiac (312) holds the narrowest of leads over Dunlap (313), Burlington Central and Rockford Boylan (314).

Crystal Lake South keeps rolling Oct 17, 2013 12:00 AM
With the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division outright championship already clinched, you might have thought Crystal Lake South’s girls volleyball team would have a letdown. Forget about it. The motivated Gators, on Senior Night, cruised past Huntley 25-20, 25-16 in FVC Valley action Thursday at The Swamp. Crystal Lake South, 26-2 overall, moves to a perfect 11-0 in conference action. A win Tuesday against Prairie Ridge would give the Gators a perfect slate in FVC Valley play.

Westminster, Elgin Academy each send one to state Oct 14, 2013 12:00 AM
Westminster Christian senior Connor Rejman and Elgin Academy sophomore Frankie Bisconti each qualified for this weekend’s Class 1A state boys golf tournament out of the Byron sectional at Prairie View Monday. Rejman, a regional champion, shot an 80 to move on and Bisconti had an 81.
Huntley’s Craig gets it done in playoff Oct 14, 2013 12:00 AM
Trent Craig knew it was going to be close as the scores started to get posted in Monday’s Huntley Class 3A boys golf sectional tournament at Blackstone Golf Club in Marengo. Close for his Huntley teammates in their quest to make it downstate out of a tough 12-team field. And close for the junior if it came down to trying to qualify individually after shooting a 5-over-par 76 on the 6,541-yard course. “I always find myself right around the number,” Craig said. “It will be close.” Craig wound up shedding tears of joy after snagging one of the final four qualifying spots out of a seven-player playoff. But the Red Raiders were one agonizing shot from making this weekend’s state tourney at The Den at Fox Creek Golf Course in Bloomington as they shot 308 to finish fourth behind Deerfield (302), St. Viator (306) and Prospect (307).
Prairie Ridge edges Jacobs for FVC title Oct 12, 2013 12:00 AM
Jon Betts’ disappointment was evident. Only 1 point separated his Jacobs Golden Eagles from winning the Fox Valley Conference girls tennis championship Saturday in Crystal Lake. Prairie Ridge grabbed the championship with 97 points while Jacobs was a point back with 96 points and Crystal Lake South placed third with a score of 95.
Huntley a strong second at own invite Oct 12, 2013 12:00 AM
Huntley fell just shy on Saturday of becoming the first girls volleyball team this season to knock off undefeated Rockford Boylan and Penn State-bound setter Bryanna Weiskircher. After rallying from a 21-15 deficit in Game 3 to beat Marian Central in the semifinals of the 29th Annual Huntley Tournament, the hosts opened the title match against Boylan on fire. The Red Raiders did nearly everything right in winning the first game, 25-12, and their momentum translated to a 7-0 lead in Game 2. However, little by little the momentum ebbed from Huntley (17-10) and Boylan (21-0) chipped away. The Red Raiders still led the second game 22-18, but the Titans fought off a pair of match points during an 8-2 run and eventually squared the match with a 26-24 win.
Burlington Central’s Kurosky all set for sectional Oct 12, 2013 12:00 AM
Boys and girls golf sectionals will have no shortage of Fox Valley area participants. An impressive six teams and 22 individuals will compete for berths in the state tournaments, which will be held Oct. 18-19 on courses in the Bloomington-Normal area. On the girls’ side, Burlington Central and Huntley both advanced as teams and will compete in the Class AA Rockford Guilford sectional Monday at Ingersoll.
Huntley stays in the hunt Oct 11, 2013 12:00 AM
A lot of negatives was a positive sign for the Huntley defense on Friday night. McHenry had 13 plays stopped behind the line of scrimmage and the visiting Red Raiders’ first-team defense recovered 2 fumbles and allowed only 99 yards through nearly three quarters in a 42-14 Fox Valley Conference Valley Division victory at McCracken Field.
