When Brittany Zust first became head coach of the varsity softball team at Hinsdale Central, she quickly recognized one goal she needed to achieve: grow youth softball. The Orland Park native said many Chicago suburbs - particularly in the southwest - have competitive softball programs for young girls that lead to experienced high school players. That was not the case in Hinsdale, and she discovered not everyone agreed it should be. "Stop trying to bring a blue collar sport...
One point from victory in the Rising Stars semifinal during the NBA's All-Star weekend in February in Indianapolis, former Hinsdale Central basketball player Matas Buzelis got control of the ball after a teammate's miss. Posting up his defender, the 19-year-old took two dribbles, spun to his left and drained a fadeaway 10-footer to clinch Team Detlef's championship berth in thrilling fashion. The clutch bucket also helped fan the already strong interest around the...

Rachele Cameli Hinsdale When did you first start playing badminton? When my sister was in high school and she also played badminton. I started at a pretty young age, sometime in middle school. I played at Midwest Badminton Club. Is competitive badminton like backyard badminton? No. I would say it's a lot different. In backyard badminton, there are not as many boundaries and it's not as fast-paced. It's more light-hearted. Competitive badminton is obviously more competitive....

Ending the season as the undefeated champs is pretty impressive for any basketball team. Ending a three-year middle school season that way - as did the boys basketball team at St. Isaac Jogues School in Hinsdale - is a remarkable accomplishment. Players and their head coach credit the run to one thing: team chemistry. Ryan Williams of Hinsdale said he's been playing with teammates Will Barclay and Justin Kurkowski in Hinsdale Inferno basketball since elementary school. "Since...
Yaseen Halabi Hinsdale When did your water polo journey begin? I lived in California before moving here as a sophomore. (Water polo) is really big out there - it's like football in Texas. I started playing club around sixth grade year-round. How have you evolved as competitor? I've seen a big improvement in my swimming. I never learned how to swim, but during COVID I watched YouTube videos and learned the techniques. That was a tough adjustment at a big swim school like Hinsda...

Chloe Chang Hinsdale What are you excited about this season? I'm focused on being a good teammmate. How were you introduced to the sport? I've been swimming since I was really young, but I didn't really know about water polo until freshman year. My friends encouraged me to try it. What's your goal?

Every year, sports fans are consumed with March Madness and the thrill of the upsets that make—or break—their brackets. Television commentator Brent Musburger wedded the NCAA tournament with the moniker during the 1982 men's edition, describing upsets with a phrase used for Illinois' state high school basketball tournament. It stuck, and now, every year, amateur bracketologists try to predict which teams will author Cinderella stories by taking down the big programs in the...

Marc Cihlar Clarendon Hills How did get started in gymnastics? I started when I was really young, maybe 4 years old, because my older brother was doing it and I thought it was cool. What do you enjoy most about the sport? I think it’s everything a sport should have. There’s a team aspect. There’s an individual aspect. What is your favorite event? Horizontal bar. I think it’s the most fun event where you can just do as many flips as possible. It might be the highest risk event, but I think it’s just the most fun because it’s t...

Now I put the team first and just try to help the team out in any way possible. When do feel the greatest rew...
