Orangeville Bronco Girls head coach Jay Doyle summed up his team's contest against Aquin on Monday quite simply. "They shot us out of our zone defense, and we couldn't shoot them out of theirs." And to be perfectly candid, that was the story of the game. Orangeville knew that they would not be able to play a straight man defense against the quicker Bulldogs, so the plan was to sit back in a 2-3 zone and hope they missed their outside shots ... but they didn't. But at the other end of the court,...
You can talk all you want about offensive philosophy, size and athleticism, but the simple truth is that in the game of basketball, the most important "skill" to have is the ability to shoot well. In their conference battle on Tuesday night, Aquin was down by a point to the Orangeville Broncos with 4:07 to play in the first period when Aiden Curry got the ball all alone in the baseline corner and drained the three point basket. On the very next Bulldog possession, he repeated the feet from the...
People will tell you that one of the valuable lessons in athletics is that they build character – but that's just a nice way of saying, "You learn how to handle it when things aren't fair." The Warren Lady Warriors hosted West Carroll Wednesday night, and after falling behind early 17-10 in the first quarter, the Warriors battled back in spite of every roadblock you could imagine. Going into the fourth quarter, the Warriors trailed 36-30, but had an even bigger problem on their hands – lea...
Basketball coaches throughout the region know that Caleb Matz is the main Panther big man in the middle, while Kolton Heun comes in to spell him off of the bench. But following the Panther's impressive 50-37 win over previously undefeated Dakota Thursday night, there is a new name coaches will be paying attention to in the paint. Junior Brody Mahon may have only scored seven points in the game, but his presence on both the defensive and offensive glass was huge. "Rebounding was a big key for us...
Coming into their conference battle Friday night, both the Orangeville Broncos and Lena-Winslow Panthers were coming off of a pair of tough losses. The Panthers had dropped two tough games to Dakota, while Orangeville had been run over by a determined Aquin squad. So the worry was that if either team fell behind, they might begin to pack it in and look forward to Volleyball. Both teams had ample reason to call it a night, but neither one did. Early on the Panthers were hot – especially Sadie M...

Orangeville senior Zach Baker had a routine breakfast ... for him. "Waffles, three eggs and Rice Krispies with some bananas in it," his mother reported. Maybe it was the bananas, but the Bronco big man was unstoppable Saturday afternoon in their conference battle with Lena-Winslow as the Broncos used a 24-7 fourth quarter to turn what had been a neck and neck contest into a lopsided finish. "Even though the game was close, I kept getting the feeling like we were lucky to be in it," said Panther...

My wife and I just got back from a little vacation. We were gone for ten days. It was during that cold snap where it was below zero everyday and it snowed a lot too. We missed it all, but when we got back to the airport, we found our truck buried in snow - literally buried. There was a snow drift that started on the ground behind the truck and filled the truck box and went all the way up over the cab. I didn’t have a shovel so I brushed it off with the scraper brush as best I could and we h...
Show me an arrogant man, and I’ll show you a bachelor. Now, I’m not saying that cocky men can never get married. No, I am simply uttering one of the universal truths that all married men find out the hard way – a wife strips a man of his ego. I tend to sleep later than my wife – but I also stay up much later, so it all evens out. Still, I can’t afford to be a slug – especially on Sundays, because I need to finish that week’s paper. Anyway, a while back, I can remember a time when I heard my wi...
Editor; If a neighbor or the fellow on the next bar stool were to ramble on to the effect that adding carbon to our atmosphere by burning oil and coal was basically harmless, I would just sigh. I would not try to change his mind because I have no particular authority, no credentials to back my statements up. I am myself persuaded that the climate and our planet's ecology is being degraded by the use of fossil fuels because that is the consensus of 97% of climate scientists. I understand that their general agreement is likely to approximate the...

If you were a soccer mom who had to transport six kids to and from practice every day, you would not be buying the same kind of vehicle that a farmer working in the fields would need. Similarly, a single man with lots of money to spend that was interested in a sports car might be visiting a Porsche or Ferrari dealership, while a college student with the same desire might be better suited with a used Camaro or Mustang. The same analogy can be used when it comes to finding a lawyer. There are...
This year has been a difficult one for most, and though our own personal struggles may feel overwhelming, children with cancer and their families have felt it tenfold. As a regular participant in the St. Baldrick's Shave for Kids events, Gina Cozzolino was surprised that there was no Baldrick's event in Carroll County after she moved to Lanark from LaGrange. So she decided to take the bull by the horns and sponsor an event herself. Due to the pandemic's effect on head-shaving events, donations...

Local health departments, medical groups, news media and many constituents have contacted my office recently frustrated by deficiencies in the rollout of the Coronavirus vaccination effort in Illinois. Limited supplies of vaccine paired with increased government-sponsored mass advertising encouraging vaccination have led to crashed sign-up websites, insufficient supply to meet demand, and sometimes long travel times to get to nearest vaccination sites. Sites have been set up only to be canceled...
