DuPage and Cook County Prep Sports
Benet senior Jayden Wright, who scored 21 points to lead the Redwings to a win over Warren at the When Sides Collide Shootout, is the Suburban Life Athlete of the Week in an online vote. Here is his Q&A with Sports Editor Joshua Welge.
Here are Jon Cunningham's photos from Wednesday's game between Nazareth and Benet.
Downers Grove South boys basketball beat Addison Trail to run its win streak to seven and Downers Grove North and IC Catholic were also winners Wednesday.
Sam Austin, part of Nazareth's stellar defense Wednesday, rarely shoots – but her go-ahead 3-pointer with 3:31 left was the biggest shot of the game as the third-ranked Roadrunners beat No. 1 Benet 44-37 to snap the Redwings' 20-game winning streak.
The Wheaton co-op took second as a team while Geneva's Reese Lackey won the beam Wednesday at the DuKane Conference girls gymnastics meet.
Downers Grove South senior Sean Day is back at a familiar spot on the court. His strong play has the Mustangs, winners of six straight, on track for a 20-win team. That, Wheaton Academy's Hayden Schroeder breaks 51-year school scoring record and more in Bob Narang's notebook.
Cam Mercer scored 25 points to pace Riverside-Brookfield past Morton to its ninth straight win and Lyons, Glenbard South and Wheaton North boys basketball and Montini and Fenwick girls basketball were also winners in Tuesday's roundup.
Junior forward Ellie Noble scored 13 of her game-high 22 points in the second half to lift Glenbard West to a 56-41 nonconference victory over St. Charles East Tuesday night in Glen Ellyn.
Glenbard East senior Danny Snyder received his coach's message to be aggressive Tuesday night, scoring 11 of his 18 points in the decisive fourth quarter of the Rams’ 86-78 win over Yorkville Christian.
