But Lake Forest (8-21) avenged that loss and another early in the season by 2 points by holding on for 36-33 quarterfinal victory Monday night.

It all adds up in another Stevenson win Feb 9, 2013 12:00 AM
Stevenson is one of those “pick your poison” basketball teams. If somehow you figure out a way to stop super sophomore Jalen Brunson, then fellow fine sophomore Colby Cashaw will burn you inside and outside. Add the outside shooting of Andy Stempel and Matt Morrissey, and there is no wonder why the Patriots are the top seed in the Waukegan sectional. “They have four really good players,” Lake Zurich coach Billy Pitcher said. “And with Cashaw hitting 3s, they are hard to defend.” On its march to a North Suburban Conference Lake Division title, the visiting Patriots hit their first three baskets from three-point range and never looked back in beating Lake Zurich 62-49 Saturday night.
Z-B tops undermanned Mundelein Feb 9, 2013 12:00 AM
Quinn Pokora wanted to give Mundelein an energy boost as he came off the bench for the first time all season a couple of minutes into Saturday’s North Suburban Lake boys basketball game with visiting Zion-Benton. The senior guard’s four 3-pointers and 14 first-quarter points were exactly the jolt the Mustangs needed a night after a disappointing loss at Libertyville. What the Mustangs didn’t need was Pokora taking his game-high 23 points and five 3s to the bench to stay with 2:18 to play when he fouled out. Especially with leads of 17 points in the second quarter and 15 with 1:08 left in the third were about to be sliced to one.And Pokora was powerless to do anything as Zion completed its second big comeback of the weekend with a 78-73 victory.
Montini leads the way at Antioch Feb 9, 2013 12:00 AM
With the top-ranked Class 2A wrestling team in the state in the field, getting out of the Antioch individual sectional was going to be a difficult task Saturday. Ten-time state champion Montini headlined the powerful meet with eight champions going to Champaign next weekend for the state meet. The top four finishers in each of the 14 weight classes earned a berth to the Assembly Hall, and the Broncos had qualifiers in every division except for 285 pounds. Carmel Catholic proved to be the big winners out of Lake County, as the Corsairs will send four individuals downstate, including No. 1-ranked senior Jake Cochrane (40-1).
It all clicks for Warren’s Hicks Feb 9, 2013 12:00 AM
Flying under the radar last season as teammate Shakhiem Chapman enjoyed most of the spoils on his way to a third-place state finish, Warren’s Danny Hicks had a wonderful year himself in 2012. It’s looking like 2013 might be even better for Hicks after Saturday’s result at the Class 3A Barrington sectional. The senior won his second consecutive sectional title, this one coming at the expense of Libertyville junior Austin Koziol (28-11) in a 5-0 decision to send the star 170-pounder into the state tournament next weekend with a full head of steam.
Black sets the pace as Stevenson, LF share NSC crown Feb 9, 2013 12:00 AM

Host Lake Forest (286) edged Stevenson (283) in the team standings, meaning those teams share the overall conference championship.

Reed gets it right as Libertyville wins Feb 8, 2013 12:00 AM
Matt Reed kept using the word “special.” Libertyville’s junior guard had just shot a crazy 8 of 8 from the floor, sinking five 3-pointers and scoring a career-high 25 points to help his Wildcats stun visiting Mundelein 87-80 in a North Suburban Lake Division thriller Friday night.
Dunning’s FT help Grant past Vernon Hills Feb 8, 2013 12:00 AM
Three-pointers were here, there and everywhere at Grant on Friday night. The host Bulldogs hit a total of six 3-pointers while visiting Vernon Hills hit five of its own. At one point in the second quarter, the teams combined to hit four straight shots from long distance, and five overall. Yet, despite the importance that the triples played for both teams, it was a shot that was worth a single solitary point that made the biggest difference of all. Junior forward Steve Dunning hit a free throw with 2.2 seconds remaining in the game to give Grant a 59-58 North Suburban Conference Prairie Division victory and send the home fans into an excited frenzy on senior night.
Count it: Brunson, Pats win again Feb 8, 2013 12:00 AM
If Stevenson sophomore Jalen Brunson calls it a dunk, it must have been a dunk. In any case, it was about the only questionable play from Brunson in the Patriots’ North Suburban Lake contest with Lake Forest on Friday night. The play from Brunson helped Stevenson to a 12-point lead, and even though the “dunk,” his third of the season, front-rimmed before eventually going down, it was a key 2 points for the Patriots. “Yeah, that was a dunk,” Patriots sophomore Connor Cashaw said with a smile. “It was a great play.” Whether it was a clean dunk or not, it was just one out of several spectacular plays for Brunson in the second half. He scored 10 of his game-high 24 points in the fourth quarter and Stevenson never trailed in defeating the Scouts for the second time this season 59-50.
