It was Eastland at Lena-Winslow – that's all anybody needed to know. It didn't matter what the records were, or who was hot or cold, this was classic Cougars against the Panthers – the kind of game that had seen shots go in the basket from a kid literally sitting on the floor. So, it was no surprise that there was a large crowd on hand to watch, and also no surprise that the game went down to the final buzzer. Neither team lit up the scoreboard in the first half – but the bitter tempe...
The Orangeville Broncos may have been leading the NUIC North, but they had fallen to Aquin at home in their first meeting. So, the rematch Tuesday night in Freeport meant a lot if the Broncos really wanted to be sitting among the are elite. Aquin was almost giving the game away early as they turned the ball over on their first three possessions – each one leading to a Bronco fast break the other way. But the real test was going to be how the Broncos fared against the Bulldog "junk" defense. W...
Stockton's Dustin Oppold had just nailed two free throws to put the Blackhawks up by three with only 31.1 seconds to play in the game as Warren called time out. "We wanted to get something moving towards the basket," said head coach Michael Flanagan. "And if it wasn't there, we wanted to run the offense to find one." "We knew what play they were going to run," said Blackhawk head coach John Hammann. "We even drew it up in the huddle. We had been switching on their weave all night, but if he...
The Pre-Trial hearing was scheduled for January 26th at 9:00 am, but when the case was called, State’s Attorney, Carl Larson, said that he had received a call from the defense attorney, Craig Brown, saying that he had a conflict and could not make it. So, he requested a continuance of one week to February 2nd at 9:00 am. Larson had no objection to the request, so it was granted. However, Larson noted that Stephanie Broshous was not in attendance at the hearing. “I don’t know, she may have been...
With the Regional seeds expected to be voted on soon by coaches throughout the region, every team sitting at or near the top of their respective conference is battling to add to their resume – with a big contest played Thursday night as Lena-Winslow paid a visit to Elizabeth to take on the RR/SM Wildcats. "It wasn't like we were surprised by the press," said Panther head coach Dennis Huttenlocher. "We knew it was coming, and with senior night and everything, I thought if we could limit our t...

The nurse came in and said "Doc, there's a man in the waiting room who thinks he's invisible." The doctor said, "Tell him I can't see him today." We are in the gray, dreary days of winter. My dad always said the third week of January is always the worst of winter. As I write this I am sitting poolside in sunny Southwest Florida. It’s 72 degrees. The locals call this a cold front. Usually the pool area is packed with sun worshipers but as it turns out, I’m the only sun (and Son) worshiper her...
Friends might give you a good zinger every once in a while, and children can dish up some god ones, (although we’ll never openly admit it) but when it comes to drilling a dagger straight into your heart and completely deflating your ego – there is only one person in the world who excels at such an art … your spouse. Now, I have never been confused with someone who understands fashion. Hell, most of you have seen me out in public, and I am about as far away from being fashionably sensible as I am...

Shopping Tip #23 – Accidentally buy the potato chips your spouse doesn’t like so you won’t have to share. The cashier seemed to appreciate that I bagged my own groceries … until I unpacked them all and said, “That’s how I want you to do it.” I don’t know about you, but I still get excited that I can now buy the unhealthy cereal I wasn;t allowed to have as a child. 500 shopping carts at the grocery store and I keep picking the one with the front wheel that likes to pirouette like a ballerina on speed. At my age, the last girl who checked me...
1. Galena 25 – 1 Pirates look like the lock as the top seed in the Sectional, but must fight complacency to stay on top. 2. Orangeville 22 - 3 Another impressive week for the Broncos. But they travel to Galena this week, so ... interesting. 3. Lena-Winslow 21 - 6 Panthers were sloppy, and could not beat the RR/SM press, but still dominated in the paint. Tough team. 4. RR/SM 23 - 4 Wildcats forced a ton of turnovers against Lena, but 13 for 41 shooting won’t beat many teams. 5. Eastland 18 - 8 C...
When I started my time with Stephenson County Farm Bureau one of the first major events I was a part of was the Bruce Johnson Memorial Farm To Farm 5K/10K run. During these last few years, it has become one of my favorite days of the year. I am always in awe of how hard our Young Leader committee works to organize this event year after year. I also love watching participants walking around in run shirts. The back of the shirts are my favorite as that is where we highlight our run sponsors, who...

CareerTEC in Freeport and the Jo Daviess Carroll Career Technical Education Academy in...
1. Fulton 18 – 6 Fulton is a tenuous top team. Living too much by the three, and when they go cold ... bad things happen. 2. Scales Mound 21 - 4 Hornets are still one of our favorites. Tough losses to top teams, this group is fun to watch. 3. Pecatonica 22 - 4 Indians have been rolling since their poor effort in their own tourney. Might be the true #1 when they click. 4. Warren 16 - 5 If not for a McNutt three and Stockton lapse, Warren would have dropped. So, can’t move them up ... yet. 5. Gal...
