Stevenson High honors state champs in two sports

The girls water polo team won its third consecutive Illinois High School Association championship, while Jenny Yang and Emily Hu won the state badminton doubles title.
The athletes were feted before classes started for the day at the Lincolnshire school. Parents and coaches gathered, and coffee and doughnuts were served.
The water polo team defeated Naperville North on Saturday to win its title, capping a perfect season. It's the team's fourth crown in the last five years.
