Grady Hyland Clarendon Hills When did you first start bowling? I've played in the past, just recreationally, for fun. This is the first year that I actually got on the team and have been taking it seriously. Why did you try out? Some of my friends were doing it, and I just finished football, and it was my last high school sport that I was ever going to play. I just wanted something to do with my time. How do you stay in a positive mindset? I play baseball as a pitcher, so it's...

Greta Dani Hinsdale How long have you played basketball? I think I started playing (in Hungary) when I was about 8. I was into swimming, too, but decided to fully focus on basketball when I got to high school. What do you like about the sport? I like that it's a team sport and that I get to play with other people and learn their playing styles. I like that we get to experience different emotions together. I'm competitive and I like to win, but I also like to put a lot of work...

The Hinsdale Central girls swim and dive team's fifth-place finish at the IHSA state finals last weekend at FNC Natatorium in Westmont doesn't truly reflect all the girls accomplished. "It was perfect," varsity head coach Bob Barber said. "I think the girls swam really well." Senior Burley Bokos broke two school records at the meet. Her time of 2:03.12 in the preliminaries for the 200-yard individual medley beat the record held by the late Kendall Pickering. Bokos also broke...

9U TEAM GIVES ALL despite adversity It was a gorgeous Saturday afternoon for football with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. The Lyons Football Club came to Dickinson Field to avenge an earlier loss to the Falcons. The Falcons had a bit of bad luck before the game with a couple of players ill, but it was next “man” up. The Tigers struck first on a long touchdown run and the extra point for a 7-0 lead. More bad luck befell the Falcons, as a few players were injured. The Falcons’ offense was stymied, but the Tigers were...
By Ken Knutson [email protected] Last year as a junior, Hinsdale Central's Aden Bandukwala became the first individual state champion in the history of the school's cross country program. Now he's the first to do it twice. In a personal best three-mile time of 14:13.56 on Saturday, Bandukwala took first-place honors for the second straight year at the IHSA 3A state meet in Peoria. Bandukwala said he felt confident going into the meet that he could accomplish the...
Hinsdale Central athletic director Mike Jezioro never planned to become a teacher, much less a coach. He was nearing the start of his senior year at Glenbard East High School when the teachers went on strike, causing the varsity football team on which he played to forfeit its first game. "As a 17-year-old boy, that was the most traumatic, horrible thing," Jezioro said. "I couldn't believe that adults had that much effect over us." So he abandoned his plans to study computer en...

9U WINS FIRST PLAYOFF GAME It was chilly but dry Sunday morning as the 9U Falcons took Dickinson Field for their opening playoff game. The Bartlett Raiders came to town looking to spoil the Falcons’ undefeated season; however, the young Falcons prevailed with a hard-fought 21-0 victory. The offense stalled on its first drive of the game, but the Falcon D picked got the ball back to them four plays later. This time they methodically drove the ball toward the goal line. Luke Wanless finished the drive behind a Quinn Houser a...

Burley Bokos Hinsdale When did you start swimming competitively? I was on a team when I was 5. How did you end up distance swimming? Both of my parents swam at the University of Tampa, so we come from a very strong swimming background, and they were both distance swimmers. They were always willing to help me, and I always found it super-fascinating that not a lot of swimmers can swim distance races like I can. How have you improved since your freshman year? Sophomore and...

8U FALCONS FINISH SEASON 6-2 The Hinsdale 8U Falcons wrapped up an impressive season (finishing with a record of 6-2) with a 33-0 win over Lemont this past weekend. The victory was a team effort, with a number of Falcons scoring touchdowns, including Luke Schroeder (who scored two on the day), Cade Phelan, Cole Sherwood and Charlie Hillegass, who returned a fumble for a touchdown in the second quarter. RT Kouba also contributed to the scoring effort, catching a 2-point conversion from Connor Pauley. The offensive line,...
The two-time defending state champion Hinsdale Central girls tennis team went into the IHSA state meet last weekend having qualified in just three of four possible spots and with only one of five players with previous state experience. Long odds for a three-peat, to say the least. But the Red Devils still made their mark in Buffalo Grove Oct. 19-21, claiming a share of fifth place with Glenbrook North and Plainfield North, all registering 15 points. New Trier cruised to the...
