Lena-Winslow fans were treated to an overtime thriller Tuesday night in Lena as the Panthers rallied back late to force overtime against Winnebago, then did everything within their power to give the game back before stealing the 62-60 victory. Bago claimed a 28-24 halftime lead, and then never trailed in regulation. Lena-Winslow was able to tie the game twice in the fourth quarter, but each time they did the Indians had an answer to reclaim the lead again. The last go ahead basket looked like...
The RR/SM Lady Wildcats made a trip to Pecatonica to battle the Indians in a non-conference tilt that might be a Sectional sneak peak as both teams are ranked in the state, and both have the potential to claim Regional crowns. And while, on paper, it looked like an amazing match-up, turnovers were the story. Pecatonica gave the Wildcats a taste of their own medicine in a 41-31 thumping that really wasn't as close as the final score. "Wiegel is a good coach and his team plays hard for the whole...
Conference basketball got into full swing Thursday night, and while Eastland may never be challenged in the South, and it will be a four team race for second in the North, the NUIC West is going to be a season long battle among five major contenders. "You've got East Dubuque, Galena, Warren, us and the Ridge," said Scales Mound head coach Erik Kudronowicz. "So, yeah, being able to hold court and win on your home floor is huge. If we had lost tonight, we'd be playing catch up the rest of the seas...

Pearl City's Fallyn Endress should probably have scrambled eggs and cheese for breakfast more often. "I was just feeling it," Endress said with a grin. "I was hot during warm up and just stayed that way." The senior guard tallied 24 points to lead all players in the Wolves' conference home win over Lena-Winslow 50-44. The first half was an offensive explosion for both teams. Pearl City repeatedly used their height advantage to score inside, and when Endress began forcing turnovers, she was...

At halftime of their battle against Fulton in Lena, the Panthers were down only two after having shot horrendously in the first half. Athletic Director, Ryan Hahne called out to senior guard Jaylen Rakowska who was warming up for the second half and said, "Hey, why don't you make a shot?" "I'm trying to," Rakowska answered back. "He'll be fine," Hahne turned and said. "Sometimes you just have to piss them off." Sure enough, Rakowska hit the first three shots of the second half for the Panthers ...
The Forreston Cardinal 2-3 zone defense was limiting opportunities for the Eastland Cougars in the second half, and suddenly what had been a comfortable 29-18 halftime lead was in jeopardy when the Cardinals cut it to 31-27 with 3:59 to play in the third quarter. Eastland had forced nine Cardinal turnovers in the first half, but after Adam Awender hit the first basket of the second half, Forreston went on a 9-0 scoring run that brought their fans into full voice, and forced the Cougars to...

The Dakota Indians are a very strong basketball team – long, big, athletic, and strong shooting from the perimeter – they made the competition look foolish at the Scales Mound Turkey Tournament during Thanksgiving week, and stood at 4-0 on the season. But they had never gone up against Spiderman, Venom and the rest of the Eastland Cougars. "You can't simulate that kind of speed in practice," said head coach Mike Bartell. "I mean, there are some teams that might have two quick guards, but their e...
Every coach knows that you don't stand a chance against them unless you stop Laney Cahoon and Nadalee Doyle. Lena-Winslow, for all practical purposes, did that – holding the pair down to a combined point total of only 21 in the game. They still got blown out. Alyse Cahoon and Kaylynn O'Haver went off – each of them hitting three long range three point bombs – as the senior roll players tied with eleven points each. "They kept sitting in that zone defense," Bronco head coach Jay Doyle said. "When...
While Nadalee Doyle is a force in her own right, area coaches all agree that the biggest threat on the Orangeville Broncos is senior guard, Laney Cahoon. Similarly, the RR/SM Wildcats have a lot of talented young players who are destined for the All-Conference teams, but right now – the conversation begins and ends with senior Laiken Haas. So, when you get a chance to see those two stars play against each other ... it makes for must see girl's basketball. And Tuesday night in Orangeville – nei...
The curse of having so much football success is that you tend to be late to the game in basketball. The Lena-Winslow Panthers finally opened their season Friday night at River Ridge, and it also marked the debut of new Varsity head coach, Mark Blakely. "People asked me, but I really wasn't nervous before the game," Blakely said. "To me, it was just another basketball game, and I trust my kids." That confidence was reinforced as the Panthers scored off of the opening tip of the game, and never lo...

Practice is great, every coach will tell you that, but sometimes the lessons that sink in the quickest are the ones that take place during a game. The Warren Lady Warriors passed their test with flying colors Tuesday night with an impressive 44-37 non-conference win over Milledgeville in which they led from start to finish. At the opening tip, both teams were full court pressing each other, but Warren used their press to jump out to the early lead thanks in large part to a transition basket...

The Pearl City Lady Wolves had a slow start to their season. There were some early injuries that limited the roster, and according to coach Brock Musser – they just finally got to full strength last Saturday. But Wednesday night in Pearl City, the Wolves showed what they are capable of doing as they completely dismantled the AFC Raiders 46-29. The game really wasn't that close. In the first quarter, AFC only took five shots in the entire period, while they committed 14 turnovers. The Wolves w...
The Stockton Blackhawks and Polo Marcos were locked into a very competitive one point affair at halftime of their non-conference match up. But ... in spite of three time outs and every attempt to inspire his players, Stockton fell flat in the second half as Polo ran away with the 57-34 victory. In the first quarter, Stockton was playing a 3-2 zone defense, but Polo effectively shot them out of it as Mercer and Gus Mumford both drained three point bombs in jumping the Marcos to a 17-10 lead....
The Lena-Winslow Panthers and Dakota Indians got their basketball rivalry off to a strong start Friday night in Dakota as the only NUIC game on the schedule due to the opening of tournament play the next day. And it is a safe bet that there will be more than one meeting between these two area powers this season – another conference battle in Lena, and then the chance of meeting in the Forreston Tournament or even post-season play. But Friday night belonged to the Indians. Dakota caught the P...
I've always loved our area athletes. I really enjoy watching the maturation as they will go from timid freshman who are scared to be interviewed by me, up to the self-confident juniors who sometimes say more than they should so I have to cover for them, and finally culminate in the impressive young adult seniors who have a bright future lying ahead of them. It's impossible not to respect kids who work their butts off trying to be the best at something they love – whether it's sports, or t...
They were badly overmatched, and on the third play of scrimmage they got to see first-hand the talent of Oregon recruit, Dierre Hill Jr, as he broke off a long touchdown run behind his massive 300 pound plus line. But in spite of the final outcome, there were several things worthy of merit that Lena-Winslow pulled off in the IHSA Class 1A State Championship game. On their very first drive, Lena-Winslow proved that they could move the ball against the much bigger, stronger and faster Crusaders....
