The Downers Grove Public Library will see long-awaited building renovations begin next month, but the library’s website also has received some needed upgrades. “Our website had gotten a little stale and stiff,” Library Director Rick Ashton said. “We thought it was time for a website that has the flexibility and appeal that people are used to these days.” The redesigned website has several new features such as staff blogs and an interactive “Book Genie” application, as well as a completely new and responsive look. Depending on the device used to visit the site,Ashton said the design of the page will automatically be formatted to ensure the best settings for a particular device. A new Book Genie feature, which helps suggest books based on reader interests, brings librarians and patrons into closer contact online. Ashton said the Book Genie is an extension of traditional library services that allows readers to make informed decisions about future reads >> see library | page 5

Village seeks resident input on proposed Town Center plans

Residents encouraged to pick-and-choose the aspects of each plan they like the most By Bugle Staff

The village of Woodridge recently held an open house to provide Woodridge residents with information and solicit feedback on three alternative Town Centre concept plans. The plans were developed by Houseal Lavigne Associates, who were hired by the village and park district to incorporate the community’s input and create three alternative options for the future use of the property. Approximately 90 individuals attended the open house, listened to the presentation, visited display tables, and asked questions of representatives from the village, park district and the consultant team. The feedback and suggestions gathered from the March 10 open house will be used to formalize the alternatives for a preferred Town Centre Master Plan that will be presented to the Woodridge Plan Commission, village board and park district board in April. Residents who were unable

The Town Centre is located north of 75th Street and south of Hobson Road and includes Village Hall, Woodridge Library, Village Police/ Public Works facility, Park District Community Center, U.S Post Office, Jefferson Junior High School, Hawthorne Hill Woods, Memorial Park, Lake Carleton, Lake Harriet and 44 acres of open space.

to attend the open house can provide feedback at www. hlplanning.com/woodr idge or by emailing Jennifer Horn at jhorn@vil.woodridge.il.us. Feedback on the concept plans will be accepted through Friday, March 21.

Concept Description— Green Key improvements found in this concept include a multipurpose paved area along Woodridge Drive to provide

space for parking, the carnival and a farmers market. A pavilion structure would provide space for shelter, restrooms and vending. An amphitheater would also be installed with seating, a stage, and support facilities for performances and other community gatherings. A BMX course is also included in this plan. A large, set aside area of open space would be installed and woodland restoration would produce healthy woodlands that provide habitats for diverse plant and animal communities. The plan also includes relocated community gardens and shared parking directly off of Woodridge Drive. Town Center gateway features and landscape improvements at 75th Street and Woodridge Drive and at Center Drive and Janes Avenue also are included in the plan.

web connect To determine what improvements should be recommended in the final Town Center Master Plan residents are encouraged to identify the improvements they like and where they would like to see them located, rather than just selecting a preferred plan. The full plans can be viewed at

www.hlplanning.com/ woodridge

Concept Description— Yellow Key improvements found in this concept include a landmark amphitheater/pavilion structure that can be used for multiple events, as well as provide temporary space for vending and restaurants during major events. A prominent pedestrian promenade (that can double as a service

drive) connecting the Civic Center to Hawthorne Hill Woods would serve as a large walkway for pedestrians and cyclists. The plan would also include a sled hill. An expanded Memorial Park including a vehicular drive and angled parking also would be installed. A large-scale park entry feature at key locations would announce the arrival into the Town Centre park areas. The plan also calls for a multi-purpose trail, interpretive subtrails, exercise stations, outdoor adventure and nature plan area. Parking and prairie/creek restoration in the Hawthorne Hill Woods area also would take place. A scenic bridge and fishing pier also are included in this plan.

Concept Description— red Key improvements found in this concept include an amphitheater with a portable stage, creating a less structured look. A farmers market/carnival site would be located just west of Civic Center potentially on a multi-purpose surface. The plan also includes a community playground and a Public Works site with direct access off Woodridge Drive. A parking lot would be installed for Memorial Park and the open fields to the south. A wedding arbor, fishing pier and rock outcrop fishing locations at Lake Harriet also would be included in the plan. A longer, looped multi-purpose trail, interpretive subtrails, exercise stations, outdoor adventure and nature plan area also would be installed.

Village moves closer to amending fowl regulations Council has had several discussions in past year about possible amendments to municipal code By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

Downers Grove may soon make it easier for residents to keep chickens, but there are still several questions that need to be answered before hen houses are a common site in village backyards. The village council has had several discussions in the past year about possible amendments to the municipal code that would allow more residents to raise chickens on their property.Those talks will continue Tuesday, as

She has been an active member of the Westmont Historical Society since it was

village staff has asked the council to review a recently prepared village memo on the subject and provide further direction. Whether the village will adopt a neighbor consent model or neighbor notification model is one of the major questions that still remain unanswered. “Further policy direction is needed prior to preparing an ordinance for council consideration,” Village Manager Dave Fieldman wrote in the memo.“Specifically, staff requests council direction to prepare an ordinance that will reflect either

the concept of neighbor consent or neighbor notification.” The first option would require residents to ask their neighbors for consent before receiving the necessary permit to keep chickens. The notification model would simply require resident to adjacent properties. At their Jan. 14 meeting, commissioners provided staff with several questions regarding each of these models, including which properties would need to be notified or provide consent, how often would notification or consent be required, and how would consent and notification actually be carried out. Notification and consent requirements could apply to only

immediately adjacent properties or any property within a specific distance from the resident wishing to raise chickens, according to the village memo. The village council would also need to determine the specific setback requirement for chicken coops before an ordinance is prepared. Village staff suggested several options in its memo, including a specific setback from the property line for all properties or a setback from adjacent houses or structures. Former commissioner William Waldack has been one of the more vocal critics of expanding the number of properties that can keep chickens. He recently addressed his former colleagues

at the Feb. 11 village council meeting. At that meeting, Waldack said there are potential risks to health and property values from expanding the number of properties that can keep chickens. Amending the current fowl regulations is a medium-priority action item on the village’s strategic plan. Currently, there are 509 residential lots in Downers Grove that are able to raise chickens. The village will use feedback from Tuesday’s meeting to prepare an ordinance to be placed on a future agenda for first reading. At the time of publication, the March 18 village council meeting had not yet occurred.

Karen Johnson, a teacher at Manning Elementary School, won the Educator of the Year Award and Craig Skala, Sr., of the Westmont Fire Department, won the Public Safety Officer of the Year Award. “He does so much for us and it was an easy choice,” said Westmont Fire Chief Dave Weiss, who nominated Skala for the award.

COD increases FTES enrollment for spring 2014 COD had a 1.8 percent increase in FTES for the spring 2014 semester Coming off an exceptional fall enrollment, College of DuPage is the only community college district in the state of Illinois with an increase in Full-Time Equivalent Student enrollment for the spring 2014 term, >> library, from page 1 without having to speak directly to a librarian. “This is a type of service that the Downers Grove Library has been very good at for many years,” Ashton said. “In library jargon, we call it readers’ advisory service, and that is helping people identify books that they would like to read.” The website also has a new contact page that allows users to email or instant message librarians, as well as signup for a weekly eNewsletter, make one-on-one appointments with staff members or connect to the library’s other social media services. A new search tool allows users to search the online catalog, the entire website, or one of the Downers Grove Library’s two eBook providers: eMediaLibrary and 3M Cloud Library. LISHost, a Linux web service that works primarily with libraries, designed the new

according to figures released by the Illinois Community College Board. One of 39 Illinois community college districts, COD had a 1.8 percent increase in FTES for the spring 2014 semester and reported a total headcount (full- and part-time students) of 28,100, the highest ever total headcount enrollment for a spring semester. This increase comes on the heels of a 7.6 percent increase in FTES enrollment in fall 2013.

6.7 percent, according to the ICCB, with enrollment decreases ranging from 3.9 to 17.8 percent. “While College of DuPage is seeing continued success in attracting students, the ICCB reports that spring enrollments across the state are the lowest in more than a decade,” COD President Robert Breuder said. “The College added 277 students this spring over last and added 269 more FTES, making this the second highest spring FTES count in COD’s history.”

He added that the new web service makes it easier for library staff to maintain the website themselves, and modify its design and content going forward. “Like all websites, it’s a work in progress, and we’d love to have people tell us how it’s working for them,” Ashton said. “We’ll try very hard to take in what people tell us and make sure that we engage in continuous improvement.”

A fresh new look After a small setback, the first phase of scheduled building renovations is set to begin in April. At a March 5 special meeting, the Library Board directed construction management firm Shales McNutt to award contracts to the various contractors involved in the construction

The colleges enrollment success is due to several initiatives, Breuder noted. College of DuPage offers 3+1 programs that allow students to earn a four-year degree through partnering institutions without leaving the COD campus.

round of bids on Feb. 21 that were within budget. The renovations will be completed in four phases, and library staffers are hoping to minimize disruption to service during the six-month project. Ashton said collections will be moved around throughout the building during different phases of renovation, and some areas of the building may be closed up to three months. Despite having an expected completion date of midSeptember, some aspects of the renovation will be up and running as soon as this spring. An automatic sorting machine will be installed during the first phase of renovations, and Ashton said the machine will help staff with circulation. The new sorter will automatically check in items and sort them into appropriate bins, which will allow items to get back on the shelf quicker. jsamples@buglenewspapers.com

Horoscopes Accept what you can’t change. There is a focus on sharing with others and abiding with their decisions. If you’re under a deadline at work in the week ahead, don’t blow it off or be casual about fulfilling commitments.

Do unto others. Exerting some warmth and kindness will thaw even the chilliest situation in the upcoming week. Have faith that a nagging financial problem can be solved and you’ll quickly see the simplest solution.

Do your part and take part. Think about the great things you can contribute to the community. You don’t need to wait for an invitation to participate in something satisfying. Put your people skills to good use this week.

You’re too generous for your own good. If you’re approached by someone with an offer or proposal, it might do more to enrich the other person than you. Don’t fritter away your financial security; hang tough in the week to come.

There’s an old saying: “Only he who has traveled the road knows where the holes are deep.” Remain respectful of the experiences of others in the week ahead. Though you may be ready to leap into action, don’t ignore sound advice.

sectional chaMps By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

Benet continued its recent impressive defensive performance by limiting Geneva to 41 points in a 60-41 win Friday, March 14 in the East Aurora Sectional final. The Vikings had scored at least in the 60s in their first three games of the postseason leading up to the game before the topseeded Redwings stifled them, particularly in the second half, where Geneva scored just 18 points. For the game Geneva shot just 29 percent from the floor. “A big part of our defense is guarding as a team,” Benet junior Colin Bonnett said.“Sean is a force inside, so that allows us to get up on defenders and force them to get to the rim over Sean.Another big part of it is our coaches do a great job of scouting. We know what the other team wants to do going into the game. We have great prep.” “We just had to stop their shooters,” Benet senior Liam Nelligan said. “We got out to their shooters. We ran all of their sets in practice yesterday.” Leading the way for the defense was Nelligan and Bonnett. They both had tasks of guarding topnotch scorers and held them to 10 total points. Nelligan went up against a player he knew well in Nate Navigato. “I tried to take away his set

shots off of screens,” Nelligan said. “It was a team effort. Sean was helping me in the post. He is such a good shooter, I had to get out on him deep.” The Redwings jumped out to a 6-1 lead, but the Vikings came back and took a 9-8 lead, which would be short-lived. Benet led 15-11 at the end of the first quarter and 26-23 at the half. “We gave up too many good looks in the first half,” Benet coach Gene Heidkamp said. “I thought we did a better job of that in the second half.” “We just had to stay calm,” Benet center Sean O’Mara said. “It was the second close game we had at halftime. We came together and figured out what was wrong and what we needed to do to do better.” Benet came out on fire in the second half on both sides of the ball as Bonnett drilled a pair of threes and the Redwings went on a 14-2 run to open up a 4025 lead. It was 44-29 after three and Geneva never seriously threatened. “The first half we were pounding it in to Sean pretty good and were playing insideout,” Bonnett said. “The second half I got two open looks and hit them both and that kind of opened it up where they had to extend their defense.

JCA’s Lumpkin first to repeat as Voyager Media POY By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

Scott Taylor/Bugle Staff

Jasmine Lumpkin of JCA is the Voyager Media Player of the Year.

A year ago, as a junior, Joliet Catholic Academy’s Jasmine Lumpkin earned several individual awards and recognitions and there are sure to be more headed her way this season. The Michigan State-bound senior averaged 17.9 points and 9.1 rebounds this season and led the Angels to their best program finish ever, taking second in the Class 3A state tournament. Her success this year has made Lumpkin the Voyager Media Girls Basketball Player of the Year for the second consecutive season. However, winning is all she has really wanted. “This is way better than the individual accolades because this is about the team and not just about me,” she said after securing a bid to state. “It is always about team first.” Lumpkin spent the first two

years of her career at Montini, where her team won a state title both seasons. As a junior, she transferred to JCA and led the Angels to their first regional title in a decade. She ended her career by making it three trips to the state finals in four years. Over her four years of combined varsity play, Lumpkin tallied 1,253 points and grabbed 749 rebounds for career averages of 12.4 points and 7.4 rebounds per game. “I can’t say enough about her,” Joliet Catholic Academy coach Ed Schodrof said. “She transformed this program. Without her, we are not where we are today and there is no other way to put that. We were evolving and she put us to a new level.” Schodrof also said that success on the court is not what makes Lumpkin a favorite among JCA students and faculty. “She is a 3.7 GPA and just a nice kid,” he said.“Everyone likes

her because of who she is, not for the points. She is beloved by everyone. I am so happy for her I can’t even put it into words.” The rest of the first-team allarea players are:

AYSIA BUGG S e n i o r s c o r i n g leader for Bolingbrook averaged 15.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.0 steals per game. She will play for Pittsburgh University next season. “Aysia was everything for us,” said Bolingbrook coach Chris Smith. “I told her at the beginning of the season that she was going to need to wear a weight belt because she had to carry us – and she did. She took us to where we needed to go.” >> see ALL-AREA | page 14

SARAH COSTELLO The heart and soul of a 25win Downers North team that advanced to the sectional semifinals, Costello proved to be arguably the best all-around player in the West Suburban Conference Silver Division this season. The fouryear varsity starter averaged 13.3 points, nearly 10 rebounds and 5.1 assists per contest her senior year and finished with 1,033 career points. “She could do everything on the floor,” said DGN coach Stephan Bolt. “She just had it in her mind that she wasn’t going to lose. With her willingness to compete, it’s amazing how she can take over a game.”

NICOLE EKOHMU Sophomore star averaged 14.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3 assists per game for Joliet Catholic Academy. She led the Angels in scoring in both games in the state finals. “She has stepped up to a new level in the playoffs,” Schodrof said. “She has gone to a whole new level and it has been crucial for us.”

Nelligan totaled 12 points and Bonnett added 11 points and seven assists. “Sean is just a special player,” Heidkamp said. “He has done it all year. He has spent four years on varsity and has been through the wars a little bit. I was very proud of him.”

the backcourt. She could hit the open jumper and drain a three, or take it to the basket when the situation warranted. Green averaged close to 16 points per game, which led the Trojans this season. “Jaida had a breakout year for us,” said DGN coach Stephan Bolt. “She can obviously score the ball, and a lot of times we put her on the other team’s best player because she’s so long and athletic. She rebounded the ball a lot better towards the end of the year. She passes the ball well and finds open teammates. She’s unselfish and does what she needs to do to win.”

Second team EMILY ESHOO Benet junior averaged 14.5 points per game for the regional champs. She also had 54 three-pointers and shot 79 percent from the free throw line. “Emily led us as far as free throw shooting is concerned,” Benet coach Peter Paul said.“She has ice in her veins because when the game was on the line, we wanted her to take the free throws.”

PEYTON WINTERS

The threeyear varsity performer and All-CSL North pick scored 11 points per game and snapped down eight rebounds per contest as the Demons put together their best season in school history, taking the CSL North crown and winning 20 games—both firsts for the program. “She’s always been strong rebounder and a scorer,” said Maine East coach Karol Hanusiak. “Her defense has gotten a lot better last couple of years. One of the things she was challenged with this year was that she was pretty much the go-to person (offensively) last year. She had to share the scoring with other people (this year) and that showed a lot of maturity on her part. She did a nice job accepting that.”

Foes thought twice before going into the paint against Winters, who may very well be the premier shot-blocker in the area, averaging 5.7 blocks per game. But she also pulled down an average of 6.9 rebounds and was an effective scorer down low, averaging 11.4 points per contest for Downers North. “She’s a presence on the floor even if she’s not scoring,” said Bolt, who added that Winters put in a lot of hard work to improve her footwork, which in turn improved her shot-blocking numbers. “I know she wants to get tougher and more physical for next year, just stronger and more physical.”

HAILEY SCHONEMAN

S e n i o r averaged 10.5 points and 12.5 rebounds per game for Joliet Central. “Chavon led by example on the court every night by her desire to win,” said Joliet Central coach Brian Reed.

Minooka senior was an all-conference selection. She averaged 14.9 points and 3.6 rebounds per game. “She scored in double digits 21 of our 27 games,” Minooka coach Ray Liberatore said. “Erin moved better without the ball than anyone I have ever coached.”

Maine South’s lone returning starter from 2 0 1 2 - 1 3 , Schoneman was asked by coach Mark Smith to help pick up the scoring slack left when 80 percent of Maine South’s scoring vanished via graduation. Schoneman responded by becoming the Hawks’ featured post player and posting a team-leading 11.4 points-per-game average. She also led the team in rebounding (7.3 per game). “Hailey did flourish in our offense,” Smith said. “What I’m really proud of is how she took that and ran with it and really had a phenomenal year for us.”

‘We have a ton of good shooters on this team and Sean is a beast inside,” Nelligan said. “Each night someone different steps up. Tonight it was Colin and I. Benet faced Glenbard North Tuesday in the Hinsdale Central Supersectional for the right to advance to state. •Benet may be known for the inside-outside game it possesses with 6-foot, 9-inch O’Mara down low, but it took things to a whole new level March 11. The Redwings got 27 points from O’Mara and 22 points from

guard Collin Pellettieri, including six three-pointers, in a 61-50 win over Hinsdale Central in an East Aurora Sectional semifinal. “It is pick your poison,” Pellettieri stated. “You can guard Sean down low or us on the outside. Either way, it is hard to stop.” Things were tight throughout the first half as No. 1 seed Benet and No. 4 Hinsdale Central were tied, 27-27, at the half.

built its lead to 42-33 after three quarters. “Once I was able to hit the first few I got a lot of confidence,” Pellettieri said. “They were falling. They were taking away Sean in the second half, which they had to do after he dropped 16 in the first half.That opens up everything on the perimeter.” “Pellettieri played fantastic, especially in the second half,” O’Mara said. “He did a good job all game. But to come out and hit threes like that and space the floor, that is the balance of our team.”

“The great thing about Kelly is that she played like a senior this year, but we still have her senior year to look forward to.”

TYLER EVERETT The Plainfield South junior averaged 12.3 points per game to go along with 106 rebounds, 59 assists and 75 steals. “Tyler scored in double digits in every game but two,” South coach Leah Carter said. “Tyler was the glue that held the team together when it was needed the most. She was always assigned to play defense on the other team’s leading scorer. As a junior she has broke the school record for career points (517) and season points (333). And, she broke the steal record for career (139).”

KATE MORIARTY M o r i a r t y, a senior, was a threeyear varsity player for the Resurrection, who scored 10.5 points per game and averaged seven rebounds this season. She was a catalyst behind the Bandits’ regional title-winning 2012-13 team and finished with 704 career points and 534 career rebounds.“Kate has been asked to play out of position since she came up to varsity,” said Resurrection coach Keith Miniscalco.“Kate is a small forward, not a post player, but Kate has done everything she could do to help this team and our program. I could not ask more from a player.” >> see ALL-AREA | page 15

The Red Devils could get no closer than that the rest of the way, with Benet leading by as many as 16 points (54-38) In the fourth quarter. “Defense is what got us the lead and won us the game,” O’Mara said. “We were able to build the lead and make some free throws.” The win marked the third time O’Mara advanced to the sectional final in his four years. “It is a nice thing,” O’Mara said. “It is a great accomplishment.” Follow Scott @Taylor_Sports staylor@buglenewspapers.com

Loyola holds off Maine South in sectional final By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

Top-seeded Loyola wasn’t shy about attempting three-pointers throughout its Maine South sectional championship game against the host Hawks last Friday night. And when the Ramblers held an 11-point lead (37-26) early in the fourth quarter following one of those treys, they weren’t shy about milking as much time off the clock as they possibly could. The latter strategy nearly backfired on them as Maine South forced three straight turnovers at one point and outscored the Ramblers 11-2 to come within two points, 39-37, with 1:33 left. But senior James Clarke sank three free throws during the final 34.4 seconds, and the Ramblers held off the secondseeded Hawks, 42-37. Loyola (25-5) advanced to the Class 4A Chicago State supersectional to face Whitney Young (26-5) and Duke recruit Jahlil Okafor Tuesday night. The winner of that contest earns a spot in this weekend’s state tournament in Peoria. The win also continues a streak of success Loyola teams have enjoyed over the Hawks since last spring. Loyola ended the Hawks’ girls soccer team’s season in the sectional semifinals

EMILY SCHRAMEK A junior from Benet, Schramek led the area with 81 three-pointers and averaged 14.9 points per game and 4.3 rebounds. “Emily led us as far as threepoint shooting is concerned,” Paul said. “She took the most and hit the most at 38 percent.When she was on, we were hard to beat.”

Fourth team KATHLEEN DOYLE Benet sophomore was team’s floor leader. She posted 10.8

last May. Then last November, the Ramblers’ football team shut out Maine South in the Class 8A quarterfinals, 35-0—a fact that wasn’t lost on the Loyola student body, which held up a large sign displaying “35-0” on Friday night. “I’m just really, really proud of the way we played and the composure and the poise that we showed,” Maine South coach Tony Lavorato said. “We’re very disappointed in not finishing this dream run that we’ve been on, but very proud at the same time.” Clarke nearly became the goat after he missed a three-point attempt from the baseline that led to a three-point play at the other end from Hawks junior George Sargeant, which made the score 39-37. But he redeemed himself with his clutch shooting from the line. “There was no place else I would rather be than there (at the line),” said Clarke, whose 17 points led the Ramblers. “I’m a senior and I have to make those shots and I just stepped up and made the shots. “We were trying to hold the ball (in the fourth) but be aggressive at the same time. We kind of let them back in the game with our turnovers.” Clarke and the Ramblers came out firing to start the game.

He connected on consecutive three-pointers as the Ramblers marched out to a 9-2 lead and led 13-4 at quarter’s end. “They’re a very similar team to ourselves,” Lavorato said. “They play quarter court and we can’t get down to teams like this. I thought that first quarter it kind of puts you in a hole and now you’ve got to scramble and come back, but I thought we showed great poise throughout the course of the game and there was no panic.” The Hawks got back into the matchup in the fourth quarter despite going just 6 of 19 from the field and 1 of 7 from threepoint land during the second half. “They’re a really great team,” said Sargeant, who scored 17 points—seven in the fourth— and played the entire game. “They came out from the get-go shooting and they made their threes but we never got down on ourselves. We kept believing that we could win this and we kept chipping and chipping away until we only got down two.” “What was the deal-breaker is that we didn’t make shots,” Lavorato added. “It was that simple. And they were open, open looks. They had 42 points and it’s exactly the type of game we want. From our end, we sputtered a little on offense and

that’s a credit to their defense and their system just like holding them to 42 points is a credit to our defense and our system.” Loyola cooled off from the outside in the second quarter, and the Hawks (25-7) whittled the Ramblers’ nine-point cushion to four at halftime, 22-18, thanks to a bucket from senior Andrew Palucki off a feed from junior point guard Caleb deMarigny. Sargeant tallied eight points in the quarter. “Teams have played tough on him,” said Lavorato, referring to Sargeant. “We couldn’t make it easier on us because we didn’t hit outside shots. He did everything he needed to do. He’s a warrior. He’s not too flashy; he’s just that blue collar, lunch pail hard-hat type guy and he’s had a heckuva year.” Sargeant will be back, along with deMarigny and sophomore starter Jon Arenas to give the Hawks a nice core going into the 2014-15 campaign. “It’s tough to think about the future when your present just ended,”Lavorato said,“but I agree: We do have a great foundation, but just like anything, it will be back to square one.” Palucki (eight points), a threeyear varsity player and twoyear starter; Jake Pedrelli (eight points), who also started Friday night; and Sean Maloney, who played admirably at point guard

points per game, while leading the Redwings in assists (43) and steals (37). “The ball was in her hands all the time,” Paul said. “The coaches felt that we needed her on the court to be successful.”

“She always worked hard in practice and in games to help her team be as successful as possible. Our team will have a big void to fill next year.”

Reggie Lemon said. “She was an all-conference player and a second year starter as a sophomore. I am looking forward to see her grow over the next two years.”

CLAIRE HARDY Downers Grove South senior led the Mustangs with 10 points, nine rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. She shot 41 percent from the field. “Claire Hardy was a hard working senior leader on our team,” said coach Lyndsie Long.

JORDAN HEBERG T h e Plainfield N o r t h sophomore tallied 14 points per game for the Tigers. “ Jo rd a n was our leading scorer with 14 a game,” North coach

RYAEN JOHNSON L o y o l a bound senior was inside presence for B o l i n g b ro o k . She averaged 9.2 points and 6.0 rebounds per game. “Ryaen came in and controlled the paint for us,” Smith said. “We had the outside handled with Aysia, Ryaen gave us what we needed inside.”

when deMarigny went down with mono in January, are among the seniors whom Lavorato will miss. “The postseason meeting last spring with our guys, we talked about one attribute that we didn’t have that we needed to get over the course of the summer and the fall and this season for us to be successful, and that’s leadership,” Lavorato said. “Obviously we don’t accomplish what we have been able to accomplish (this year) without that. We have five seniors—two of them are starters (Palucki and Pedrelli),but Maloney is the heart of our team. (Seniors Jimmy) Castelluccio and (John) Kozak, these are guys who run scout teams as seniors which just doesn’t happen. “They are fourth-grade Hawk campers. It’s eight years ago and they walk into Hawk camp in the summer and they’ve been with us ever since. Now when you take five fourth-grade campers and they put time and effort into the game, achieve 25 wins and go undefeated in the conference and win a regional and get to the Sweet 16, that’s something that the community can be proud of and that’s what we’re very proud of at Maine South.” Maine South beat Evantson 7466 in overtime in the sectional semifinal. mike@buglenewspapers.com
