Last Season The 2022 Panthers followed in the footsteps of the previous year by charging out of the gate in impressive fashion. But unlike the 2021 team that hit a few bumps after week six - the 2022 version of Panther football simply never slowed down. Lena-Winslow rolled the opposition all season long. Only once all year did they fail to score 40 points in a game, and only twice all season long did an opponent manage to reach twenty points scored against them. They finished as undefeated...
Last Season The 2022 EPC Wildcatz were a product of their schedule more than anything else. Having to open against Lena-Winslow with a young team ... then seeing Forreston and Du/Pec ... the Wildcatz were 0-4 before they even got organized, and when you’re talking high school kids - good luck keeping them motivated when you stand at 0-4. But that’s where credit needs to go out to coach McNutt and his staff. It would have been very easy to pack it in at that point, but the Wildcatz righted the...

Everyone in Lena knows the strength and tradition of the Lena-Winslow football team. And residents are also very familiar with Louis Bunker – the owner of Stump Busters who has ground out a stump on almost every block within the village limits. But what most people may not be aware of, was what "might have been." You see, Louie had a son, Isaac, who was more than a bit gifted when it comes to athletics. As a teenager, Isaac grew to stand 6'4" and weight 280 pounds, with the quickness and athleti...
In Volleyball, the first major tournament that gives everyone a good idea of where the power is in the North is the Oregon Tournament. But in Golf, the first solid look into which golf teams are people going to be chasing after is the Eastland Tournament at Lake Carroll. But never have the results seemed to ask more questions than they answered. Both RR/SM and Fulton were seen as major contenders for top honors, but when the top four golf scores from each team were scored – the two teams were st...
Andy Anderson hasn't been out of High School that long, but the 2022 graduate from Eastland claimed the Lake Carroll Club Championship last week – beating out a long list of very talented golfers in the process.

Lena-Winslow held their annual summer football camp for all students from 7 through 12 grade last week. And while the emphasis was on fundamentals, it still gave us a glimpse into the reality that everything will start for real in only another couple of weeks when the IHSA season opens throughout Illinois....
Last March, Addie Hefel and Taylor Burchard of Galena helped the Pirates win the IHSA Sectional Championship over Whitney Sullivan and her Orangeville Broncos. But the area athletes who were rivals that day, happen to be teammates on the Rockford Heat Elite 17U club basketball team. And over the Fourth of July week, they claimed the championship of one of the largest basketball tournaments in the country at McCormick Place in Chicago. The Nike Tournament of Champions featured several Division I...
The Jim Shaw Classic All Star Basketball Games were delayed this year due to a numbers issue, but that didn't impact the fun as graduated seniors from throughout the region gathered at Eastland High School for the Boys and Girls All Star contests. In the Girls contest, the South claimed the win with a 65-48 victory, led by a 24 point performance from Morrison's Shelby Veltrop which earned her MVP honors. Paige Joiner of Eastland scored ten, Sarah Kempel of Eastland had nine, Brea Musser of...

The second annual Northwest Illinois Volleyball All Star Game was held June 5th at Eastland, and judging from the increased crowd, it's growing in popularity. According to IHSA rules, only seniors who have graduated can participate in any All Star contest. Players throughout the entire NUIC were chosen – based on their All Conference status. Anyone making first team was invited, and any players from the nine school districts covered by Village Voices who made second team or honorable mention w...
It was going to take an exceptional team to knock off the Orangeville Broncos and their 17 game winning streak coming into Memorial Day's Super Sectional in Sterling. But ... in all fairness, Peru St. Bede is an exceptional team. As for the game itself, Orangeville was in no way out-classed by the Bruins. The Broncos had runners on in almost every single inning, and in scoring position multiple times. "We just never got the key hit we needed," admitted head coach Lon Scheuerell. "We get one or...

A few weeks ago, at the end of the regular season, the Orangeville Broncos played Forreston in what many thought was a Sectional preview. But in the game, while Forreston threw their ace, sophomore Aubrey Sanders, the Broncos threw Laney Holland – their off-speed pitcher – instead of ace, Leah Baker. "Yeah, but I'm not sure you can say that gave us an advantage today," head coach Lon Scheuerell said following the Broncos 9-1 Sectional semi-final victory. "You never know, I've seen pitchers multi...
Sterling Newman honestly thinks they accomplished something Wednesday night by coming back from a 3-0 hole to knock off Pearl City and advance to the Sectional final. And that's fine, let them think that. But in the overall scheme of things, Pearl City had won much more before the game ever began. As for the contest itself, Tanner Perdue was the early hero in the first inning. With two outs and Perdue at second, a ground ball was hit to short, and bobbled, making for a close play at first base...
All of the talk going into the Softball Sectional Championship game revolved around South Beloit's pitching ace, Trinity Mesch. After all, the senior had shut out Dakota 1-0 in the Regional championship, then did the same with another 1-0 win over East Dubuque in the Sectional semi-finals. So, the biggest question was, could Orangeville score? "She's the best pitcher I've seen in terms of velocity," said Bronco head coach Lon Scheuerell. But while the Sobos may have had one superstar player in M...

The Lena-Winslow Boy's Track Program has always been strong over the years. They have sent qualifiers to the state finals, and brought back several individual medals. But nobody could have envisioned what kind of season lay in store for the Panthers this past season. In a sport where most of the competition dwarfs the number of kids who attend Lena-Winslow, just being able to qualify some events is special. But for the first time in school history, the Panthers made history by claiming their fir...
The Scales Mound Hornets Boy's basketball team, Scales Mound High School, and the Scales Mound community were recipients of the prestigious IHSA State Finals Sportsmanship Award for the 2022-2023 season. This award is given to teams and communities based upon the "Do What's Right" initiative during the State Finals. Scales Mound was the only boy's basketball team out of the 16 teams to reach the State Finals to receive the coveted award. In addition, there were no girl's basketball teams out of...
If Monday night's Regional opener between the Warren/Stockton Warhawks and Galena Pirates is any kind of indicator, the 2023 baseball post season is going to be exceptional. Head coach, Jim Nielsen, knew the Pirates were a formidable team – so much so, that picking which of his pitchers was going to start was not much of a question for him. "Brady (Broshous) has been fantastic in seven of his last eight games, and the one he wasn't was against Galena," Nielsen explained. "I told him, 'They d...
Lena-Winslow knew coming in that trying to beat a quality program like Pearl City – regardless of how young they were – three times in a season would not be easy. And while both teams have very few seniors on the roster, it was the Panther veterans who proved to be much more powerful. The Panthers have had a formula that produces runs all season long, and it paid off in the top of the first as speedster Rachael Setterstrom reached first, stole second, and was then driven home by senior Kie...
