Boylan too much for Prairie RidgeFeb 25, 2014 12:00 AM
Rob Baker said it best. “Boylan has great players who can score on every spot on the floor,” said the Prairie Ridge coach. “They can knock down shots from anywhere. It doesn’t matter if it’s a 15-footer, 17-footer or 20-footer they have five kids on the floor who can make shots. I am proud of my kids. They didn’t quit.” Boylan was too much for the Wolves and advanced to the Class 4A Crystal Lake South sectional final with a 64-57 win Tuesday night.

Jacobs’ Riedel has high hopes for stateFeb 20, 2014 12:00 AM
Jacobs girls gymnast Allison Riedel did not have a 2012-2013 season to remember. Riedel suffered a Lisfranc injury at last year’s Fremd sectional that prevented her from competing in the state finals last year. “Basically I broke eight to 15 bones in my foot,” she said. “The main bone supporting my arch broke and the bones connected to the arch folded in. I had two surgeries and two wires and two screws put in. It was not a good injury. It was really hard watching the state meet last year knowing I should have been competing. The injury has only made me that much stronger of a gymnast.”
Dundee-Crown falls to Prairie RidgeFeb 18, 2014 12:00 AM
The first-quarter statistics for the Dundee-Crown boys basketball team Tuesday night could be described as ugly. The Chargers had as many field-goal attempts (7) as points (7). They had 11 turnovers. They did not make a field goal in the second quarter — and they only took two shots in the quarter. Yet somehow, D-C was only down by 10, 17-7, at halftime. But the deficit was too big to get out from as the Chargers fell to Prairie Ridge, 45-36, in Fox Valley Conference Valley Division action in Carpentersville.

PR, Fremd go 1-2 at ConantFeb 10, 2014 12:00 AM
Prairie Ridge co-op and Fremd were neck and neck from start to finish at the Conant sectional on Monday. But the Wolves capitalized on the vault, their final event, to spring ahead of the Vikings and secure their third consecutive sectional title with 148.525 points in Hoffman Estates. Fremd took second with 147.675 points, followed by Barrington (143.675) and Prospect (142.925). This much is known after the first of four sectionals: Prairie Ridge, which won a third-place trophy in 2012 and a second-place trophy last season, became the first of four automatic qualifiers to advance to the girls gymnastic state meet on Feb. 21 and 22 at Palatine High School.

The Jacobs boys basketball team fell victim to the Prairie Ridge snowball effect on a snowy Saturday night in Algonquin.

Rafferty was in a zone from start to finish in taking second place in the all-around (37.825). Prairie Ridge co-op was also locked in, securing the regional title with an impressive 148.375l points in Roselle.
