Kane County prosecutors requested Monday that three Elgin teens accused of beating and robbing an 87-year-old man Saturday, be prosecuted as adults. Judge Thomas Mueller did not rule on that issue Monday, but he did deny a request to let them out of the county youth jail, noting the seriousness of the crime. “Quite honestly, they don’t get more serious this, except for murder,” Mueller said.

Burlington Central 3rd in Class 2AMay 31, 2014 12:00 AM
During the more than three-hour bus ride to Eastern Illinois University, the members of the Burlington Central track team knew that winning at a trophy at the Class 2A state track and field championships this weekend at O’Brien Field was more than possible. That is, if the Rockets did what they were capable of. The formula was simple. Watch junior Lucas Ege run real fast in his hurdles races and in the two relays and let the chips fall where they may. Of course, Ege had plenty of help too. SIU-Edwardsville-bound senior Matt O’Connor would place second in the 800-meter run to add 8 very valuable points. But even with all of that, it would take a fantastic performance from Ege, O’Connor, Casey Matthews and Kyle Neubauer in the 1,600-meter relay to end the meet to give the Rockets the final push in points they would need.

Defensive gems pave way for Huntley winMay 28, 2014 12:00 AM
If stars were placed next to the names of the Huntley fielders who made great plays in Wednesday’s 4-0 playoff win over Larkin, the score book would have looked like a chart of the galaxy by game’s end. Huntley defenders made the routine plays, the smart plays and the stellar plays in support of senior right-hander Eric Luecht (7-2). He limited the fourth-seeded Royals (15-20) to 3 hits and 4 walks and struck out 5 in an 85-pitch performance to outduel Larkin senior Jack McCracken (7-3).

King’s strong outing lifts LarkinMay 26, 2014 12:00 AM
If Will King was feeling any pressure about getting the assignment to start Larkin’s opening round playoff game on Monday he certainly didn’t show it. The junior right-hander was brilliant, tossing 5⅓ innings of shutout baseball, to lead the host Royals to a 4-0 win over Rockford Jefferson (5-22) in the play-in game of the Class 4A DeKalb regional. Larkin (15-19) earns a shot at top-seeded Huntley on Wednesday.
