• Sign of the times at Wauconda: 12-0 May 14, 2013 12:00 AM
  As soon as Wauconda's baseball team finished its undefeated run through the North Suburban Conference Prairie Division, Bulldogs unfurled a splashy, colored banner, compliments of a generous parent. Included on the banner was Wauconda's NSC Prairie record: "12-0" Mind you, the sign was made in the morning — before the Bulldogs' 13-6 win over visiting Antioch on Tuesday. So if Antioch had beaten Wauconda, what would have become of the banner, which would have the Bulldogs' record incorrect? "I don't know," Wauconda coach Bill Sliker said with a laugh. "I guess I would have put it in the basement." Moot point now.
