Starring role for Einloth in Grayslake Central’s win Feb 14, 2015 9:47 PM
By Joe Aguilar The bounce pass — delivered from near the half-court line to a cutting Lucas Buckels, who finished at the rim — would have played nicely at the NBA All-Star Game festivities in New York this weekend. “I love (distributing the ball),” 6-foot-5 junior Aidan Einloth said. “I’d rather have 15 assists than 30 points, any night.” Grayslake North’s star settled for 17 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists, as the visiting Knights pulled away from Crystal Lake Central to capture a 60-43 win in a Fox Valley Conference Fox Division game Saturday night. One more assist would have given Einloth his second career triple-double, as he had one last season against Hampshire.

Crystal Lake Central surprises Hampshire Jan 31, 2015 10:42 PM
By Jerry Fitzpatrick This was more grudge match than rematch. The Crystal Lake Central boys basketball team had been anticipating Saturday’s tilt with Hampshire since Dec. 16, when the Whip-Purs whupped the Tigers 90-49 in a Fox Valley Conference Fox Division game. CL Central competed without two of its top players in that first meeting: senior guard Jason Price (ankle) and 6-foot-5 senior center Ian Koch (upper respiratory infection). The presence of both players in Saturday’s lineup, coupled with the inner drive to avenge the 41-point drubbing, sparked the Tigers to a 47-41 upset in Crystal Lake.

Jacobs finished with 208.5 points, 7 ahead of the host school, Saturday afternoon at McHenry.

Jacobs in good position to win first FVC crown Jan 30, 2015 10:37 PM
By Mike Garofola What a difference a year makes. Last season, a less than sparkling opening day at the Fox Valley Conference wrestling tournament all but erased the hopes for Jacobs of a top four finish. On Friday, things were different for coach Gary Conrads’ club and with the Golden Eagles on the front foot from the opening bout, Jacobs finds itself heading into Saturday’s final day of the conference tournament with an 8-point lead, 105-97 over host McHenry, and 23-more than division rival Cary-Grove (82.0) which enjoyed a solid first day.

Andresen likes the progress D300 co-op is making Jan 14, 2015 9:48 PM
By Mike Miazga While the District 300 (Dundee-Crown, Hampshire, Jacobs) boys swimming team didn’t register a victory in a recent meet against the District 155 co-op team, coach Rick Andresen saw plenty of progress that has him optimistic about what lies ahead. “We had a good meet,” he said. “We saw a lot of encouraging things and we saw some things that need work. We are getting better, but we need to tighten some things. The times we swam were very respectable. We had nice time drops in some events. All of the hard work we did during the holiday break might be paying off. I’m pleased overall, especially with the improvement of our younger kids.”

Lovitsch, Grayslake North motor to another victory Dec 13, 2014 8:30 PM
By Joe Aguilar Rob Nicoletti says his team’s motto in his first season as Grayslake North’s girls basketball coach is, “Improve and Compete Everyday.” Look no further than his leading scorer to see both improved play and compete level. Sidney Lovitsch might be playing the best basketball of her young high school career. A second-year varsity starter, the 5-foot-9 sophomore wing showed off her athleticism again Saturday in the Knights’ 55-24 win over visiting Crystal Lake Central in a Fox Valley Fox Division contest. Lovitsch finished with 15 points, 10 steals and 5 assists — in just three quarters of work. Earlier in the week, she scored 18 points against Barrington and then poured in a career-high 26 in a win over Woodstock. “She’s been fantastic for us,” Nicoletti said after his Knights improved to 4-6 and 2-2 in the FVC Fox. “I always say, ‘She’s the motor.’ When she’s doing it with our defense, it just picks everyone’s energy level up. She’s a great on-ball defender."
