Bank on it: Benko, Grayslake Central advanceMar 4, 2014 12:00 AM
Grayslake Central’s boys basketball team had plenty of bounces go its way on Tuesday night. Michael Benko was just one of several Rams left in amazement after he took an inbound pass and tipped the ball off the glass for a basket in the third quarter. “We were supposed to have a screen in front of me,” said Benko, who dropped in 10 points and had 4 rebounds, “so I could get a lob there. But one of their guys got in front of me. I was able to get a little of my hand on it. I guess it went in. I went back to the bench and one of the coaches asked me if I called it. I said back to him, “I don’t have to — it’s my last name.’ ” Eighth-seeded Grayslake Central went on to knock off No. 9 Northside Prep 57-40 in a Class 3A regional semifinal. Top-seeded North Chicago rolled past No. 17 Elmwood Park 102-39 in the other semifinal at Grayslake Central. The Rams (16-11) will host the Warhawks (23-5) at 7 p.m. Friday in the regional final.

Bolman comes up big; Libertyville right on trackFeb 22, 2014 12:00 AM
The Lake Forest sectional not only brought in powerhouse Libertyville but also swimmers who don’t have a home pool to their name, from schools such as Antioch, Carmel and the two Grayslakes. And those so-called lonely swimmers certainly contended. Libertyville prevailed as a group and will send most of its team to the state meet in Evanston next weekend. The team scores found the Cats up front with 294, while Lake Forest was second (275.50) and surprising Warren was third (203).

Antioch campaigns for sectional participationFeb 20, 2014 12:00 AM
Last year, when Antioch hosted the Class 3A sectional, it was the players on the basketball team that helped with game operations. The Sequoits, who had been eliminated from the tournament by then, did everything from run errands to assist during the 3-point shooting contest. “We’re hosting the sectional again this year, and the goal that we set in our first classroom meeting of the season is that we want to find other people to work the sectional because we want to play in it,” Antioch coach Jim White said. “We’re hoping that we get a better seed to help us get through the regional so that we can get back to our place for the sectional.”
