Lake Forest outlasts St. Viator in OT Feb 8, 2014 12:00 AM
It was Ore time, part three, in Lake Forest on Saturday. But the ending wasn’t quite as satisfying.

Saturday it was 3-pointer at the buzzer to tie the game at 74.

Barrington wins, with help, at McHenry Feb 8, 2014 12:00 AM
For a while, it looked as if the expected race for the big trophy would not materialize between favored Deerfield and challengers Barrington, Cary-Grove, Crystal Lake South and host McHenry. As it turned out, Lake Zurich which was just a click behind Deerfield nearly two hours into the Class 3A regional. But a funny thing happened on the way to the round of wrestleback semifinals — so funny that Barrington coach Ken Hoving finally managed a small grin when he saw his club pull within reach of Deerfield, trailing just 119-113 in advance of the medal round. Later, after celebrating individual titles from Matt Stathakis (103, 29-3) and Matt Conrad (132, 29-10) and saying thank you to his FVC coaching counterparts for their help along the way, Hoving broke into a broad smile midway through the finals when the scoreboard flashed his Broncos were now atop the leaderboard at 146.0-136.5. Five weights later, and after a trio of second-place finishes, the Broncos got one last bit of help at 195 as Ryan Grannemann of McHenry defeated Christo Moran of Deerfield 4-1, helping get the Broncos a fourth straight regional championship.

Conant’s Ranallo takes charge — twice Feb 7, 2014 12:00 AM
Conant’s senior night 61-37 boys varsity basketball win over Barrington was very emotional. For downstate Washington High School, that is. When the small town sustained critical damage during a tornado in November just before its Class 5A state semifinal football game against Springfield-Griffin, the story touched Conant point guard Joey Ranallo. Did it ever. Harnessing the same passion with which he breaks down an opposing team’s defense for the Cougars, he spearheaded a fundraising drive that culminated Friday night in a $15,000 donation to the downstate school, whose senior administrators were in attendance to receive the check. “We realized what was going on,” Ranallo said of the effort. “We wanted to connect.” And then Ranallo and the Cougars broke down the Broncos.
