“You can’t really prepare,” Rafter said with a laugh. “It feels like pins and needles and then it starts to burn and then you’re numb.”

Rafter, a Villa Park resident and category operations manager at US Foods, raised about $6,000 this year. Rafter competes in the fundraiser for his nephew, Matthew, a Special Olympics athlete.

LOMBARD – For SUPER Plunge veteran Mike McDermott, the toughest part of the annual fundraising event is that first jump into an icy Lake Michigan.

“I don’t care how many times you’ve done it,” said McDermott, of Lombard. “The first one will suck every breath out of your body.”

Forty-three individuals participated in the 9th Annual Special Olympics Illinois SUPER Plunge, held last weekend at North Beach on the campus of Northwestern University in Evanston. During the 24-hour event which began at 2 p.m.

Feb. 21, participants jumped into Lake Michigan once an hour.

The event, which raised a total of $166,621 this year, kicked off the 2014 Law Enforcement Torch Run Polar Plunge season, and proceeds will support Special Olympics athletes who compete free of charge in more than 180 sporting events throughout the year.

In it’s first seven years, the SUPER plunge raised $545,000 for Special Olympics Illinois.

Each individual was asked to raise a minimum of $2,500

TIF study OK’d for Garden Station redevelopment

By MATTHEW PIECHALAK mpiechalak@shawmedia.com VILLA PARK – Villa Park officials are looking to create a tax increment financing district intended to aid redevelopment of a part of the village’s downtown that will include the future Garden Station project.

The Villa Park Village board of trustees Monday voted unanimously to approve a $26,000 contract requesting a feasibility study to determine the possibility of establishing the TIF district in the North Ardmore area. Trustee Donald Kase was absent from the meeting.

A TIF is a public financing method typically used for re-

development and other community-improvement projects.

Ehlers & Associates will conduct the study, which will determine if the area qualifies as a redevelopment project area under the TIF Act. The North Ardmore area, bordered

by Vermont Street, Douglas Avenue, Terrace Street and Harvard Avenue, is the location of Garden Station, a cityblock-long residential redevelopment project from Golden

Spike Development.

Rick Goldman, principal of Golden Spike, already owns the land where Garden Station will be constructed, and has agreed to foot the bill for the feasibility study.

The village began working with Golden Spike on the Garden Station development in 2008, but the economy slowed progress, Goldman said Monday while addressing the village board.

“From 2008 to 2013, the development world was basically shut down,” Goldman said. “[But] waiting was wise and now we’re poised and ready to go.”

The development will be a “gateway to Villa Park,” Villa Park President Deborah Bull-

winkel said prior to Monday’s meeting.

While there are some residents who have raised concerns about the redevelopment project, including the height of the building, a majority of residents are on board, she said.

“They see that the project looks good and will bring jobs to the area,” Bullwinkel said.

The feasibility study is expected to take four to six months, Goldman said, adding that the firm likely won’t break ground on the development until March 2015.

The village board also voted 4-2 to approve a resolution to “induce the redevelopment of certrain properties within the proposed redevelopment area.”

Trustees Chris Aiello and Bob Wagner, both uncomfortable with the document’s language, voted against the resolution.

The resolution will allow Golden Spike the opportunity to be reimbursed for future expenditures related to the development – including the TIF feasibility study and architectural fees – but only if a TIF is established and the village approves a redevelopment agreement, village attorney Jim Binninger said.

“This does not commit the village to anything,” Binninger said. “This is nothing more than a timing issue that allows the developer to proceed, [but] it is on condition of a redevelopment agreement.”

HELP FOR CHILDREN’S READING PROBLEMS Even though children may have passed school vision screenings and do not complain about their eyes, it may be that they are deficient in any of a number of vision skills required to read well. Aside from visual acuity (the ability to see objects clearly), visual fixation skill is needed to aim the eyes accurately. “Static fixation” is the ability to focus on a stationary object when reading a word or working a math problem, and “saccadic fixation” is the ability to move the eyes quickly and accurately across a page to read print. A comprehensive eye exam also includes an assessment of accommodation, binocular fusion, convergence, field of vision, and visual perception.

Many ophthalmologists and pediatricians feel that vision screening can be part of your child’s routine pediatric check-ups -- with referral to an eye care provider if problems are noted. Optometrists, on the other hand, recommend more frequent comprehensive eye exams by an eye care professional. Your health care provider can help you determine what’s appropriate for your child. To schedule an appointment, please call SKOWRON EYE CARE. At Skowron Eye Care, our mission is your vision.

Activities included a bean bag toss, food quizzes, chair massages and demonstrations, including a student Zumba class from Glenbard East High School and martial arts from Sky Centers in Lombard.

Winners of the foundation’s 2014 Health Hero Awards were also honored during the fair.

Healthy Lombard, a nonprofit village-wide initiative, was founded in 2009 by volunteer CEO Jay Wojcik.

“We let them know what we’re trying to do,” Phillips said. “Students donate loose change and they get really involved with it.”

This year, the goal is $5,000.

On the final day of the Olympics, an assembly is held where teams can make a final push to donate to their favorite Facial Hair February participant, at which time the totals are collected and a winner is announced, Scott said.

Between Facial Hair February and the Brook Olympics, the school community has a nice collaboration leading into Relay For Life, Bazon said.

“The kids realize it’s bigger than just who they are – that there is a greater good out there helping people,” he said.

“Every year we always get one or two kids that will thank you because their parents or someone they know is sick.”

For the past three years, the fundraiser has been held in collaboration with the school’s Blue Crew Brook Olympics, a spirit week also intended as a fundraising engine for the American Cancer Society, explained social studies teacher Matt Scott, who co-sponsors the Blue Crew with Cristy Hebreard.

The Brook Olympics, held from March 10 to 14, pits each grade level against each other in activities and games where participants earn medals and team points similar to the Olympic Games, Scott said.

Former Miss Addison uses beauty, brains on ‘Survivor: Cagayan’

By MARI GRIGALIUNAS mgrigaliunas@shawmedia.com ADDISON – Addison residents who caught the premiere of the latest season of “Survivor” on Wednesday may have recognized former Miss Addison Alexis Maxwell among the castaway contestants.

“We watched it as a family since season one,” the 21-yearold Northwestern student said.

Her father Ron, the biggest “Survivor” fan of the family, convinced her to apply with him for a spot on the show. In the spirit of fun, Alexis Maxwell put together her audition tape in a day. As she continued through the selection process, she couldn’t believe she might actually be cast.

When she finally was chosen as one of 18 contestants for “Survivor: Cagayan,” the show’s 28th season, Maxwell decided to play not only for herself, but her dad, who wasn’t cast on the show.

District 88 to host heroin awareness events in coming weeks In 2013, there were 45 heroin-related deaths in DuPage County. That number surpasses the county’s record of 38 heroin-related deaths in 2012.

At District 88, we’re committed to reversing this trend and helping put an end to the heroin epidemic in the county. The safety of students and staff is our No. 1 priority, and COMMUNITY District 88 will host several VOICE events to educate students Scott and parents/guardians about the heroin issue in the county Helton and state and the dangers of that illegal drug.

I was honored to participate in a Heroin Awareness Prevention Panel on Feb. 20 at Good Samaritan United Methodist Church in Addison. The goal of that event was to have a discussion panel with a multifaceted perspective on the effects of heroin use in the community. The LTM Heroin Awareness and Support Foundation was a featured speaker on the panel and provided a resource table with heroin awareness handouts.

In partnership with the DuPage County Regional Office of Education, local police officials and high schools throughout DuPage County, District 88 will host a Student Leadership Symposium on Feb. 28 at Willowbrook. The symposium will bring student leaders from throughout the county together to create awareness and understanding of the rise of drug use in the county, especially heroin.

On March 18, Addison Trail and the Addison Police Department will host a Heroin Awareness presentation for parents/ guardians and students. The event will begin at 7 p.m. at Addison Trail and will focus on the dangers of heroin and how to support those who might be struggling with addiction. The event is meant for students in sixth through twelfth grades and their parents/guardians. Willowbrook will host a similar event starting at 7 p.m. on March 11.

We recently filmed a video with Addison Community Television (ACTV) to promote the importance of these events, and you can see the video at addisonadvantage.org/actv/index. shtml.

District 88 will continue to support the county in these efforts to ensure the safety of students.

Dr. Scott Helton is the superintendent for DuPage High School District 88.

This is the A/Fuel rear-engine dragster that Marina Anderson, 21, of Villa Park, has been building from scratch.

Most of us, thankfully, will never drive as fast as 200 mph. Villa Park resident Marina Anderson intends to make a career out of it. She’s training to become a professional drag racer and has spent four years building her own dragster, capable of speeds above 250 mph. With that kind of drive, don’t bet against her reaching the NHRA someday.

Male staff members at Willowbrook High School had a very hairy February. They spent the month growing facial hair as part of their seventh annual fundraiser benefiting the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life of District 88 All Youth. As the month ends, expect sales of grooming supplies in Villa Park to skyrocket.

“That was the only time I did something like that, and I was doing it for a scholarship,” Maxwell said.

She prepared, she played, and now she has to watch the whole game on national television.

“It’s definitely exciting and nerve-racking,” said Maxwell, who refused to watch recordings of her high school theater performances during her Addison Trail High School days because she was too critical of herself.

Even while castaway on an island with 17 competitors in situations meant to test her, Maxwell stayed mindful of the cameras.

“I thought about future employers,” she said. “I thought

about my little cousins that were all going to see.”

Maxwell is still interested to see how everyone reacts to the show since she said the show brought out both the fun-loving side of her personality she usually reserves for her friends and her business side she usually leaves at work or class.

Despite her tribe title, Maxwell wouldn’t call herself a beauty queen. She played her fair share of sports in high school, but after giving them up in college, she wouldn’t have put herself in the Brawn Tribe. She was open to the other, though.

“I think definitely I would feel comfortable being labeled as a brain,” she said.

At 21, Maxwell is also one of the youngest players this season. She considered the age difference when she first met her competition, but wasn’t too intimidated.

In a season preview, “Survivor” host Jeff Probst calls Maxwell a “dark horse” in the game, citing her age as a possible setback, but the smarts behind her pretty smile as an asset.

Find out if Maxwell psychs out her competition on “Survivor: Cagayan” at 7 p.m.

• SURVIVOR Continued from page 8 “I feel like it put even more pressure on me,” she said.

The pair got to work strategizing and analyzing former seasons before Maxwell took off last summer for filming in the Philippines. This season, players are divided into three teams: brawn, brains and beauty.

Armed with a big personality, big appetite for adventure, and big hair, Alexis was cast as a member of the Beauty Tribe.

“I don’t care what I look like at all,” said Maxwell, who rarely wears makeup to class.

She thinks the label was an interesting choice because beauty is so subjective, but she also wanted to use the label to her advantage. With a double major in learning and organizational change and psychology, Maxwell anticipated people would underestimate her other skills since she’d enter the game defined by her looks. “’Survivor’ is just all about the social game,” Maxwell said.

Finish Your Bachelor’s Degree in Biomedical Sciences “Your Way”

Suburban Life • mysuburbanlife.com • Friday, February 28, 2014 • ED

t National University of Health Sciences, if you’ve finished your general education requirements, you can earn a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Science in as little as 16 months. Not only that, NUHS gives you the freedom to tailor your own degree program by letting you create a course list that matches your unique goals. Whether you plan to use your science education for a career in business, health care, or as a prelude to graduate school, you can construct a specific program to give you the best preparation.

According to Dr. Randy Swenson, dean of NUHS’ College of Allied Health Sciences, “You can choose from any combination of courses in our BS program to complete your bachelor’s degree. There are no required core courses, just a requirement that you earn 64 credits. So no matter which of our many courses you pick to meet those credits, you’re on track.”

That means that if you are interested in medical administration or hospital work, you can choose courses in Medical Spanish, Medical Terminology and Computer Software.

usy adults need to make the most of their time. Work and family commitments keep down time to a minimum, so taking on the additional load of a college student is a big decision. They need a program that makes the most of their time. Courses that are directly applicable to the career, and partnerships with students who take their college experience seriously, and have similar goals.

With that in mind, Northwood University’s DuPage campus in Glen Ellyn location offers an Adult Degree Program, which gives students the opportunity to pursue their education while maintaining the flexibility they need to balance family, work and school.

“Northwood offers evening, weekend or online formats, as well as innovative options like our ‘3+1’ degree program, which allows students the opportunity to complete three years of coursework at partnership institutions

like College of DuPage and Harper College, before completing their final year at Northwood University,” said Ann Marie Rosen, regional development manager.

The Northwood University student generally arrives with prior college credits from another university or community college. Many have been out of college for a while or took a break to focus on their career and family. They also have some students who are just beginning their university education.

The Glen Ellyn Adult Degree Program Center offers a variety of degrees in both hybrid (a blend of face-to-face and online) and completely online formats. Classes are designed in partnership with industry specialists and advisory boards and are taught by experts who are active in the business world.

Along with its Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Management and Marketing, the Glen Ellyn campus also offers

seven fully online degree programs including aftermarket management, automotive marketing management, health care management, marketing, entrepreneurship, management and finance as well as an online Masters of Science in Organizational Leadership. Northwood students work with one advisor from application all the way to graduation, assisting them with registration, academic advising, financial aid and ordering books.

“With classes in eight-week and weekend formats, students can complete two or more courses in the same 16-weeks it takes traditional students to complete one class,” she says. Students also have the opportunity to earn credit for work and military experience.

One student earned 27 credits for her prior work experience, Rosen said. “This made a tremendous impact on the quality of her life by enabling her to complete her degree faster and with substantial savings on top of it.”

Health Department trains police on heroin reversal drug

By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com Fine mists of water sprayed the air Friday at the DuPage County Health Department during a training session for area police officers, in an effort to ensure 2013’s record number of heroin overdose deaths isn’t repeated.

The lesson was part of the department’s DuPage Narcan Program, which puts the non-addictive drug Naloxone, or Narcan, in the hands of local police, allowing them to reverse the effects of an opiate overdose.

With a rising number of DuPage County heroin-related deaths in recent years, including 46 in 2013, the drug could be a valuable tool, said Health Department Executive Director Karen Ayala.

“These numbers are not nameless, nor are they faceless,” she said. “Each one represents a life lost.”

Police are often the first responders to the scene of a drug overdose, sometimes be-

Those two or three minutes can be the difference between life and death, he said.

Essentially, those overdosing on heroin become so relaxed they fall asleep and stop breathing, according to Jorgensen. If first responders give the person a dose of Narcan before their brain dies, they can

Since mid-November, the program has trained officers from 10 departments, as well as an additional 13 Friday.

department. They have been deployed since mid-January, while the additional estimated 541 participants in the Jan. 21 and Feb. 21 sessions hit the streets in March and May, respectively.

Ayala said there haven’t yet been any cases where Narcan has been used by trainees.

She said the department’s $40,000 investment has sufficiently funded the program, including the $16 individual doses of Narcan, through its most recent training session.

The department was looking for partners in the medical community to continue it.

This represents one of many county government actions to address what officials call a growing epidemic, including the $100,000 education initiative Be a Hero in DuPage. It is also the first county-wide application of a 2010 state law allowing nonmedical personnel to be trained to use the drug, Ayala said.

Jorgensen said DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin is working on language for a bill clarifying that trained responders using Narcan can’t be held liable in a civil case.

Villa Park Police Chief and member of the DuPage Chiefs of Police Association Robert Pavelchik said the association already had a subcommittee devoted to the topic, but thought more needed to be done.

Who’s equipped with Narcan?

Already trained: Addison, Bartlett, Bloomingdale, Burr Ridge, Downers Grove, Darien, DuPage County Sheriff’s Office, Elmhurst, Glendale Heights, Glen Ellyn, Hanover Park, Hinsdale, Lombard, Roselle, Villa Park, Warrenville, West Chicago, Westmont, Wheaton, Willowbrook, Wood Dale and Woodridge To be trained: Bensenville, Itasca, Lemont and Oak Brook Other municipalities: Naperville, Carol Stream, Lisle, Oakbrook Terrace, Clarendon Hills and Winfield (Participant in alternate opioid reduction program) “We realized some time ago, especially with the assistance of the coroner, that this has been a problem we’re not going to arrest our way out of,” he said.

Jorgensen said that attitude, along with the treatment of addiction as a medical problem instead of a punishable offense, represented a different mindset than that found in the county 15 to 20 years ago. By keeping people alive, he said, it keeps the chance for recovery alive.

“One of the people that we work with says that ‘Dying of an overdose is not the first step for recovery or treatment,’ ” Jorgensen said. “You have to understand that this is a medical disease, this is an addiction, this is a serious medical problem and we all know people who have either died of drug or alcohol problems and also recovered from drug or alcohol problems.

These people are not lost to society.”

Restaurant reviews

Get a homestyle meal at Bulldog Ale House CAROL STREAM – Sometimes you just want a homestyle meal, a plethora of beer options, and a classy atmosphere to possibly take in a game.

Bulldog Ale House takes the concept of a neighborhood sports pub and combines it with a full-service dining room. The bar area is partitioned off from the diners, meaning you can feel free to bring your family for dinner and not have to fret about any sports fans’ exuberance spoiling your meal.

On a recent visit, I opted for one of the few seats not in direct view of a TV, primarily because it was a slow night in the sporting world. That was a good thing, because it allowed me to focus on the food. My companion, not much of a sports fan, was indifferent to the televised display, but had a great time regardless.

Located in the Fountains at Town Center subdivision just off Lies Road in Carol Stream, Bulldog Ale House could, at first glance, be mistaken for a local version of an Applebee’s, but that’s not true at all.

There’s nothing kitschy about Bulldog, just a clean, nicely decorated and well-maintained eatery with a focus on food and beer.

Wanting to get a sense of what’s offered, we started out with the “super grande platter” of mozzarella sticks, chicken wings, chicken tenders and warm pretzels.

As mozzarella sticks were apparently in short supply that night, my dining companion was delighted at the chance to substitute mini corn dogs instead. Served with a variety of dipping sauces, it could easily serve as a meal for two all on its own.

We ordered entrees nonetheless, knowing we’d end up taking most of the meal home for leftovers – you can’t very well review a restaurant off a single appetizer. I selected the beef Stroganoff, a childhood favorite of mine that can be excellent when made well and terrible when not. In this case,

Strips of skirt steak are sautéed with fresh garlic and mushrooms, then combined with red wine and brown sauce over fettuccine. Add a dollop of sour cream and the dish is complete. If I hadn’t been so full from the appetizer, I easily could have polished it off; instead, it made for a terrific lunch the next day.

My companion was similarly stuffed from the appetizer, and selected the pot

roast over the pot pie, reasoning that the pot pie likely wouldn’t reheat as well. The pot roast is cooked in a red ale gravy with carrots, red onions and celery, and served with garlic mashed potatoes. Not usually a fan of cooked carrots, my companion enjoyed every morsel, proclaiming the various flavors complemented each other perfectly.

Bulldog Ale House offers 32 beers on draft and 22 in bottles at the Carol Stream

the standard varieties you’d expect at any bar, and some more esoteric brands, such as Franziskaner Hefe-Weisse, Half Acre Daisy Cutter and Shock Top Belgian White. If you enjoy a draft brew, there’s probably something here for you.

As you might’ve guessed, we didn’t have room for dessert, but would’ve been interested in the giant chocolate chip cookie (topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and chocolate syrup) or

whipped cream and chocolate syrup). But then, who’s going to make it as far as dessert when the appetizer and meal portions are so tasty and generous? Maybe if we just split an entree …

Dream debut

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com CHAMPAIGN – Willowbrook sophomore Matt Rowland got his first taste of what state wrestling is like, and now he wants more.

Rowland placed fifth in Class 3A at 152 pounds over the weekend at the State Farm Center in Champaign. He won his first match, lost a quarterfinal to eventual undefeated state champion Bryce Brill of Mt. Carmel, and went 3-1 in the wrestlebacks to earn a medal.

“It feels pretty good,” Rowland said. “It’s a good way to end my coach’s career because he’s retiring after this season.

And to go out with a win is

came the sixth Warrior wrestler to earn a medal during that Murphy’s tenure. Those six wrestlers combined for 10 medals and five state titles.

Rowland hopes he can add more medals and move up the places over the next two years.

Finishing fifth as a sophomore in his first state appearance is a good step.

“Coming out of the tunnel my first time I had some jitters in my first match, but I got them out and got it done,” Rowland said. “[The key to moving up the podium is] working hard, putting in the work in the offseason and following in Steve Congenie’s footsteps.”

Congenie was a three-time medalist and two-time state champion who graduated in 2011. In addition to him, Rowland is chasing after his brother’s accomplishments.

Dan Rowland was a two-time medalist, finishing his career as the runner-up at 170 pounds last year.

Dan gave Matt some advice ahead of the state tournament.

“He said to just wrestle how you are, just wrestle your match,” Matt Rowland said.

The sophomore said his speed was effective against his state opponents, but he needs to work on his escapes and wrestling when he is down on the mat. He finished the season with a 46-6 record.

Senior Jake Kroeger also competed at state and went 1-2 at 182 pounds. He lost his first match and won a match in the wrestlebacks before being eliminated.

Montini owns state wrestling medal stand

By DAN SANTAROMITA

“This is the best feeling I’ve ever had in my life.

I worked so hard for this one moment and to be the best.”

dsantaromita@shawmedia.com CHAMPAIGN – It’s safe to say Montini’s wrestling team had an impressive showing at the individual state tournament last weekend.

Five Broncos won state titles and six more earned medals as Montini was well represented on the medal stand.

Dylan Duncan (120 pounds), Kegan Calkins (126), Vince Turk (138), Chris Garcia (145) and Xavier Montalvo (170) added their names to a growing list of Montini state champions. Garcia and Montalvo won their second consecutive state titles and Garcia finished his career as a fourtime medalist.

“This is the best feeling I’ve ever had in my life,” said Calkins, a transfer from Wheaton North. “I worked so hard for this one moment and to be the best.”

The senior, who is still undecided on where he will wrestle in college next year, made sure he wasn’t going to let any opportunities pass him by at state.

“It’s my last shot, I was just going to give it everything I had and wrestle my best match and leave it all out there,” Calkins said.

Four Broncos were defeated

Montini’s Xavier Montalvo celebrates his win against Tinley Park’s Eric Schultz in the 170-pound state championship on Saturday. Montalvo won the title with an 8-1 victory and was one of five champions for the Broncos. in finals: Luke Fortuna (152), Anthony Ferraro (195), Edgar Ruano (220) and Michael Johnson (285). Jimmy Pawelski was fourth at 106 and Derrick Curry picked up a fifth place medal at 182.

Johnson transferred to Montini from Wyoming Sem-

inary in Pennsylvania. The Downers Grove resident missed out on a chance to win his first Illinois state title, but has one more shot next year as a senior.

“The consolation is I’m a junior,” Johnson said. “One match doesn’t define my sea-

that sort of match and just move on.”

Johnson felt like he could have wrestled better at state, but was still positive on the entire experience.

“You can’t be down on it.

I got to the finals,” Johnson said. “It was a great tournament and a great experience.

The Grand March, there’s nothing like it. There’s nothing like this atmosphere. It’s just a great experience.”

The Broncos’ season still lives on in the team dual tournament. Montini defeated Westinghouse 60-12 in a sectional final Tuesday and will face Washington in a state quarterfinal at 9 a.m. Saturday in Bloomington’s U.S. Cellular Coliseum. The state championship dual will take place at 6 p.m. Saturday.

IC Catholic girls basketball books first trip to state finals Knights set to face off Class 2A state against Prophetstown semifinal

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com RIVER FOREST – It’s been a good year for girls sports at IC Catholic.

On the heels of the girls volleyball team’s Class 2A state title in the fall, the girls basketball team earned its first trip to state by defeating Seton Academy 40-38 in a 2A supersectional at Concordia University Monday night.

The Knights (25-6) led the entire game and held off the Sting (19-9) down the stretch.

IC led 26-15 at halftime, but the Sting gradually got back

Who: IC Catholic vs. Prophetstown When: 8:15 p.m. Friday Where: Redbird Arena, Normal Streaming: IHSA.tv into the game.

Following Seton’s potential tying 3-pointer in the final minute, Grace Vitek made two clutch free throws to extend the lead.

After Alfatinee Boyd drained a three with 7.3 seconds left the Knights were able to play keep away and kill the clock without being fouled.

“This has been our goal

all season,” Vitek said. “Me, Abby [Radoha] and Rory [Manion] have played together since freshman year and we’ve been dreaming of getting to state so it’s a dream come true.”

The senior trio led a balanced attack for IC. Vitek and Manion scored 10 points each. Radoha finished with eight points.

Manion was a key player for the girls volleyball team and now gets to go back to state for the second time this school year. She will return to the site of the volleyball championship, Redbird Arena.

“Getting to state is amazing,” Manion said. “It’s something that my sisters haven’t

done in their high school careers for either sport so getting it for both sports in my senior year is just absolutely indescribable and awesome.”

Vitek is a 5-foot-11 guard that presents match up problems for opponents thanks to her all-around game and length. Manion is a physical 6-foot forward that leads the team with 9.4 rebounds per game.

“Grace and I are partners, basically,” Manion said.

“We’re always running the pick and roll. We’re always working as a team.”

In the state semifinal, the Knights will take on Prophetstown, which is about 40 miles northeast of Moline.

Prophetstown has won more

than 20 games in 14 of the past 16 season, but this is their first state appearance The Lady Prophets enter with a 30-2 record and have a 23-game winning streak dating back to a Dec. 11 loss.

Meanwhile, IC has rattled off 16 wins in a row since falling to York on Jan. 3.

Regardless of the results in Normal, the Knights will be claiming their first ever state trophy.

“This is just great for the school,” coach Aubree Lawrence-Schuett said. “This has never happened in school history for us so I’m thrilled for the kids, I’m thrilled for the community. This is going to be fantastic. I’m looking forward to it.”

Willowbrook graduate earns All-American recognition

CARLOS FUENTEZ Glenbard East Senior | Wrestling Why Fuentez was selected: Fuentez placed third at 106 pounds at the Class 3A state meet in Champaign last weekend.

Glenbard East senior wrestler Carlos Fuentez earned his first state medal by taking third at 106 pounds at the state tournament over the weekend. He was one of two Rams to earn all-state honors, along with teammate Dayton Olson, and recovered from a quarterfinal defeat to win four matches in the wrestlebacks to claim his medal. Fuentez, the Oak Trust Credit Union Athlete of the Week, talked with Suburban Life sports editor Jason Rossi in Champaign after he picked up his medal.

I just focused on winning one match at a time, just focusing on that next match ahead of me.

What did you do well at state?

What was key to the third place match against Glenbard North’s Kirk Johansen?

I wrestled him at sectionals in the quarterfinals. I don’t think [having wrestled him before] made a big difference.

I wrestled him in IKWF [Illinois Kids Wrestling Federation] when we were in eighth grade, so I knew what he was going to do and he knew what I was going to do, so it was good.

Steve Cox earned a nice accolade before the college baseball season even began. The Concordia University senior relief pitcher and Willowbrook High School graduate was a second-team selection to D3baseball.com’s preseason All-American team. Last season as a junior, Cox made 17 appearances out of the bullpen and recorded 13 saves as the Cougars went 39-7 and finished the season ranked No. 16 in the country. His 13 saves were the third-most in Division III. He allowed just one unearned run in his 16 innings and fanned 20 batters while walking four.

Postseason tipoff time arrives for boys hoops teams is 6-foot-6 with 3-point shooting range and good ballhandling skills.

The Trojans should be able to get past the regional quarterfinal and would see No. 7 Clemente in a semifinal. Clemente went undefeated in the Chicago Public League’s Blue West, a third-tier conference in the CPL system.

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com The Class 3A and 4A boys basketball postseason begins next week. Teams in the area are hoping to reach Carver Arena in Peoria for the state finals March 20-22.

Addison Trail Class: 4A Regional: Addison Trail Sectional: Bartlett Seed: No. 16 First game: 6 p.m. Monday vs. No. 17 North Lawndale Charter Outlook: The Blazers enter the postseason having lost three in a row and five of their last six games. That slump doesn’t mean they should be overlooked.

AT has quality wins over Morton, Hinsdale South and Stagg. All three of those wins came at home.

Guard play has been key for the Blazers. Senior point guard James Pupillo is a very good ballhandler that is capable of big scoring nights.

Fellow senior guards Ronald Duling and Joe Kurucar are also key to the team.

First opponent North Lawndale Charter went 4-6 in the Public League Red West, the same division as powerhouses Whitney Young and Orr. The winner gets top sectional seed York in the March 7 regional final.

Willowbrook Class: 4A Regional: Elk Grove Sectional: Bartlett Seed: No. 23 First game: 8 p.m. Monday vs.

Erica Benson – ebenson@shawmedia.com

Willowbrook’s Carlos Meyers (left) makes his way down court during a Feb. 14 home game against Downers Grove South. The Warriors face Wheaton North in their first playoff game Monday.

Glenbard East Class: 4A Regional: Morton Sectional: Bartlett Seed: No. 21 First game: 8 p.m. Monday vs.

No. 12 Bartlett Outlook: After winning the DuPage Valley Conference

for the third time in four years last season, the Rams went just 1-13 in the DVC this year.

Senior guard Jaron Hall gives the Rams a quality scoring guard, but the rest of the team is very young and inexperienced. Young players like freshman Mike Finley and sophomore Patrick Peterkin have shown flashes of their potential, but will have to put it together if the Rams are to make a playoff run.

East opens up on the road at Bartlett, which finished 4-8 in the Upstate Eight Valley.

The winner of that game takes on No. 5 seed Conant, which the Rams beat for a regional title last year.

Montini Class: 3A Regional: Genoa-Kingston Sectional: Hampshire Seed: No. 5 in regional First game: 7 p.m. Monday vs.

No. 4 Genoa-Kingston Outlook: The Broncos are the No. 5 seed out of five teams at the Genoa-Kingston regional.

Montini, which was fourth in the Suburban Christian

Gold, is led by senior forward Matt Brachmann. Brachmann is a double-double machine and a tough physical force inside. His younger brother, Kevin, has emerged as a player to watch and has given the Broncos some quality minutes late in the season.

If the Broncos can top Genoa-Kingston, they will then face top regional seed Sycamore.

Timothy Christian Class: 3A Regional: Timothy Christian Sectional: Glenbard South Seed: No. 13 First game: 7 p.m. Monday vs.

No. 23 Instituto Health Sciences Charter Outlook: Losing Khali Valrie in the middle of the season has really hurt the Trojans at the guard position, but senior forward Connor VanderBrug makes them a dangerous opponent for any team.

VanderBrug is averaging 21.5 points and 8.6 rebounds per game. He does everything for the Trojans both because he is good enough and out of necessity. The senior forward

No. 10 Wheaton North Outlook: The Warriors went winless in the West Suburban Gold and enter the postseason with just two wins.

Regional semifinal opponent Wheaton North is a balanced offensive team led by senior guards Andrew Slivinski and Matt Biegalski. Getting past the Falcons would require an upset, but guards Chris Poole, Ed Mickevicius and Will Unseth can get hot from the outside. Junior Kyle Rushing has also emerged late in the season.

York Class: 4A Regional: Addison Trail Sectional: Bartlett Seed: No. 1 First game: 7 p.m. Tuesday vs.

No. 16 Addison Trail or No. 17 North Lawndale Charter Outlook: It’s not a good time of year to have the first slump of the season. The Dukes enter the postseason on a threegame losing streak, after losing just two games all season before that.

The losses did come to quality teams: Hinsdale Central, Oak Park-River Forest and Morton. York’s senior laden squad is built for a quick turnaround, but they will have a target on their backs as the top seed in the sectional. Proviso East, OPRF and Morton are the next three seeds, in order, after the Dukes.

York could see Lyons Township in a regional final, which would be the fourth meeting between the teams this season. The Dukes won all three games during the regular season.
