  • 100 And Counting

    Dan Stevens|Feb 15, 2023

    Eastland Boys Varsity Basketball Coach, Tyler Zumdahl, got his 100th victory Wednesday night with a 56-27 blowout win over Forreston in Lanark. And by many respects, 100 wins is nice, but not that big of a deal ... except. When you think back to all of the successful basketball coaches Eastland has had over the years – Zumdahl got his 100th win faster than anybody before him. And when you realize that high school programs do not recruit, but are fed by the talent within the community, and f...

  • Final Tune Up

    Dan Stevens|Feb 15, 2023

    For Girls Basketball teams throughout the state, their final chance to polish their game came Thursday night because the Regional tournaments all tipped off on Saturday. For Eastland, with the conference already wrapped up, they got to host Amboy for a chance to get into post-season mode on their senior night. And while all of the seniors – even Mallory Miseiewicz who was nursing a turned ankle – got into the game, none of them had as big of an impact as Sarah Kempel. "She's my sweaty bea...

  • Timing Is Everything

    Dan Stevens|Feb 8, 2023

    There's an old saying in sports, "It's not who you play, it's when you play them." On paper, it should have been a major contest between the Lena-Winslow Panthers and Warren Warriors Monday night in Lena, but ... nobody counted on illness. Not only was Warren without their starting point guard and leading scorer Reed McNutt to illness, but head coach Mike Flanagan was also sick and had to miss the game too. Those holes were obvious for all to see in the opening quarter as the Warriors were shut...

  • Duerr Die

    Dan Stevens|Feb 8, 2023

    Thomas Hereau of the Scales Mound Hornets scored 35 points the last time they played Galena, and still fell short. So, if you were to know that Hereau would be shut out – as in zero points – the entire first half of their rematch Tuesday night in Scales Mound, would you think the Hornets had a chance? Enter Jacob Duerr, stage left. Duerr, who only scored a single basket against Galena in Galena, opened the scoring for the Hornets with an old fashioned and-one to give them a 3-2 lead. He the...

  • Facts, Not Fiction On Co-op Plan

    Dan Stevens|Feb 8, 2023

    “Have you heard that Aquin and Orangeville are going to try and co-op all of their sports next year? I mean, how can they do that? I heard from a good source it’s true. I mean, they’d be amazing in Volleyball again, and that wouldn’t be fair.” As is usually the case, when I get someone telling me something they heard from “a good source” it’s usually not entirely true. And in the case of Aquin and Orangeville trying to co-op all of their sports – I can say with certainty – that is NOT true. W...

  • Pantherhawks Claim Regional Crown

    Feb 8, 2023

    It all came down to the final match of the night. The Dakota Indians held a one point lead over the Lena-Winslow/Stockton Pantherhawks with only one bout left to be decided – Lena-Winslow's Henry Engel was taking on Cade Odell of Princeton in the championship match. Engel was guaranteed at least second place in the 285 pound weight class, and was going to advance on to the Sectionals this weekend at DeKalb, but ... for his team to claim first place overall and have a chance to advance on in t...

  • Classic Cat Fight

    Dan Stevens|Feb 1, 2023

    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...

  • Purple Vengeance

    Dan Stevens|Feb 1, 2023

    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...

  • Reed Rescues Route 78 Rivalry

    Dan Stevens|Feb 1, 2023

    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...

"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...

    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.

  • Speaking Through Their Souls

    Dan Stevens|Jan 25, 2023

    The Lena-Winslow Lady Panthers got a big win over Aquin Wednesday night, and a major factor in the victory was the new implementation of a lob pass that was made by Alyssa Daughenbaugh into Grace Groezinger down on the block in the paint. "Oh yeah, I love making that lob," Daughenbaugh admitted. But how do you know when to throw it? Was Grace calling for it, or did you see something? "We speak to each other through our souls Dan," Groezinger said matter of factly. Whatever soul speaking was...
