One Down, Five To Go

With the three main local papers (Tribune, Sun Times, Daily Herald) having their reporters crawling all over the spring camps, you would think they could come up with a range of stories. Despite the manpower and the number of athletes, coaches and executives available as story fodder, the three papers are only able to come up with the same story each day (today would be Dusty Baker's reaction to the current Frank Thomas and Kenny Williams love fest.

So, with no news coming out of camps (a refreshing change), we look locally for a story. Last night, Glenbrook North started their Class AA basketball title defense with a 46-32 win over Lake Zurich.

Jon Scheyer was held to 7 points on one field goal and 5 of 7 foul shots. Good job by the rest of the team to pick up the slack. Scheyer suggested that Lake Zurich was more interested in keeping his numbers down than winning the game. Well, let the rest of the state know that Zach Kelly and Tyler Cullitan are up to the challenge.

Up next, the winner of Jacobs versus Barrington. If they move on again, the bracket has them likely playing Stevenson, Palatine or Hersey.

Stay tuned.
