The River Ridge Wildcats are a solid basketball team. Yes, they are still without George Winter, but in spite of that they claimed third place at the Forreston Tournament over a very good Oregon squad. But one lesson that sports always teaches, is that you can rarely win a game just by showing up ... you need to perform. Maybe it was a left over sugar rush from holiday sweets. Maybe the lack of good snow on the ground didn't have them in basketball mode yet. Or maybe they were given some spiked...
Both Stockton and Warren are seeing the upward side of rebuilding programs as they hover around the 500 mark on the season. So, the opening conference match up between the two schools that co-op in softball had the makings of a good one ... and they didn't disappoint. For Warren, Addy Bohnsack is where the conversation starts. The senior guard was a major force Friday night – scoring 26 points from all over the floor. She could hit threes, score off the dribble, but got a lot of points inside w...
Fans who spent all day Saturday at the Eastland Shoot Out were supposed to see four games, but as it turned out – they ended up seeing five as two different games took place in the night-cap contest between the host Cougars and the Aquin Lady Bulldogs. Throughout the first half, Eastland had their way with the Bulldogs as they were executing their inside-out offense almost to perfection. It began by getting the ball to Olivia Klinefelter in the paint – where Aquin had no answer for the jun...
The Lena-Winslow/Stockton Pantherhawk Wrestling team got back to regular action last week following the holiday break with an impressive pounding of both Fulton and Rock Falls. Lena-Winslow/Stockton 80.0 Fulton 0.0 150: John Mensendike (LWS) over Broden VenHuizen (F) (MD 10-1) 157: Jared Dvorak (LWS) over Jonah Lutz (F) (Fall 2:34) 165: Brady Haas (LWS) over Skylier Crooks (F) (Fall 2:28) 175: Eli Larson (LWS) over Jeff Kane (F) (Fall 0:54) 190: Jeremiah Luke (LWS) over Mason Kuebel (F) (Fall 3:48) 215: Michael Haas (LWS) over Daniel Holman...
One of the most competitive, and prestigious, wrestling tournaments of the season is known simply as “Abe’s Rumble” – where 32 of the top programs in the state come to compete over the holiday break. The Pantherhawks got off to a strong start by dominating Monticello 53-12 in the first round. Then, blew past Anna-Jonesboro 67-12 in the round of 16. Roxana edged the Pantherhawks out 39-30 in the Quarterfinals, sending them against Stanford Olympia in the wrestleback round. Although the match ended in a numerical tie – 37-37 – Olympia was awarded...

Prior to their non-conference basketball game against the Eastland Cougars, Whitney Sullivan could be seen with her head down, hanging over. Garbage can near the end of the Bronco bench. "Yeah, Whitney was sick, Laney was sick, I think everyone on the team had a bit of the flu bug in one way or another," said head coach Jay Doyle. "I told Whitney if she was going to be sick to do it in the locker room. Not out in front of everybody." And while Whitney did admit to losing her lunch twice back in...
Nobody was quite sure heading into the non-conference battle between Lena-Winslow and Erie-Prophetstown exactly what would take place. E/P was winless on the young season, with a very young team, while the Panthers had been hot and cold in their four games. They looked like world beaters against some opponents, and like they needed to learn basketball basics in others. But by halftime, the outcome of the game had already been determined as the size, strength and speed of the Lena-Winslow...
No offense intended to the teams Eastland has beaten so far this season, but ... most of them are in rebuild mode. When it came to squaring off against teams in the upper half of the area rankings, Eastland had fallen to Galena, Aquin, Orangeville and Lena-Winslow. So, when they made the trip out to take on the RRSM Wildcats, it was their last chance before Christmas to prove they belonged in the conversation of area powers. Bottom line, they do. Behind a strong game from Olivia Klinefelter,...
Head coach Jay Doyle does not give compliments to his team, and he'd be the first one to admit it. But following what was nearly a flawless first half of basketball against the Morrison Fillies in the championship game of the Pearl City Tournament, he made an exception. "I have to admit it, I was really proud of them," Doyle said. "That was the way I had envisioned us playing. Everyone contributed, our passing was great, our defense controlled the game, I told them this was the best basketball...

With the tradition of football success, the Lena-Winslow basketball fan has to wait for the Panthers to start their season as both athletes and coaches are busy completing a playoff run while most other schools open their season. So, while Monday was the first time the Panthers stepped out onto the floor as they paid a visit to Durand, for the fans who went to watch – it was well worth it. The Panthers were rusty, and it was obvious that this was their first game – one look at their final free t...
It was expected to be a major showdown between two undefeated NUIC North teams. Aquion had the London sisters, while Orangeville had Sullivan and Cahoon. And while the first half lived up to expectations as it was still anybody's ballgame at 24-22, Whitney Sullivan and the Orangeville Broncos completely took over in the third quarter to run away with a dominant 53-34 victory. "It was the emotionally uplifting halftime speech from coach," said his daughter Nadalee Doyle. "It brought tears to our...
The crowd was something you would normally not see until the post season rolled around, but every big basketball fan and local media was on hand in Pecatonica to watch the undefeated Indians play host to the undefeated Scales Mound Hornets in an early season show down of who had bragging rights. And while the first half fully lived up to the billing as the two powerhouses traded blows and baskets back and forth, what was a narrow 33-30 Pecatonica advantage quickly got out of hand in the third...
First they dominated a strong RR/SM team on the road. Then they followed that up with a third quarter shut out of Aquin to blow past the Bulldogs on their home floor. And Thursday night they played host to the twin towers of Lena-Winslow, and ran them off the floor 46-25. Yeah, the Orangeville Broncos are pretty good. "They didn't do anything we weren't ready for," said Panther head coach Dennis Huttenlocher. "But their guards have quick hands, and with Whitney (Sullivan) sitting in the middle...

Everyone knew the Eastland Cougars would be young, but talented this season. The bigger question was how would Aquin star, Adam Awender fit in? That answer was delivered Monday night in Lanark as the Cougars ran past Dakota in a 46-36 non-conference basketball game. From the very beginning, the speed and quickness of the Cougars was evident as they took off early against Dakota – making steals and converting in transition for the quick 8-3 lead. Adam Awender has provided the true point guard tha...
Put together a team that is just now opening its season, against one with limited scorers who then got injured, and points proved to be hard to come by in the non-conference battle between Stockton and Orangeville. The Blackhawks were opening their season – with only two players back with any varsity experience – and in the first quarter it showed. After an early 2-2 tie, the Blackhawks were shut out the rest of the first period – going 0 for 8 from behind the three point line as they tried...
For much of the Girls Basketball early season, we are finding out where teams stand. Quite often, it is a battle between the haves and have nots, but every once in a while – you see two powerhouses square off. Such was the case Friday night as the Orangeville Broncos paid a visit to Elizabeth to take on the RR/SM Wildcats. Early on, you could tell there were jitters. The Wildcats turned the ball over in their first two possessions, but the Broncos got a three point bomb from Laney Cahoon – and t...
