While Oak Park and River Forest High School's 6-1 win over visiting Trinity on Friday looked impressive across the board, Huskies girls soccer coach Ignacio Ponce valued a particular patch of stellar play.

The Fenwick boys and girls water polo teams fell short of claiming the Metro Catholic Aquatic Conference championships on Saturday.

The Fenwick baseball team endured three tough losses by a run during a busy week. Despite close setbacks to De La Salle, St. Rita and Bishop McNamara, the Friars displayed live bats with 16 hits in a 14-0 rout of Hales.

The District 200 Board of Education on April 25 voted to award its athletic training contract to the school's current longtime vendor, Oak Brook-based Athletico.

The Oak Park and River Forest Huskies softball team wanted to win as efficiently as possible against its conference foe Proviso West Panthers Friday, and they did just that.

Prior to Saturday's highly anticipated doubleheader between Lyons Township and Oak Park and River Forest, the last time the two annual powerhouse baseball programs collided was in the 2012 Class 4A state championship game (won by OPRF 5-4 courtesy of Michael Brennan's dramatic walk-off hit).

The Race that's Good for Life brought out a record number of participants for Sunday's 32nd running of this annual Oak Park event. The race, organized by the Oak Park Runners Club, was voted 2012's top race by the Chicago Area Runners Association (CARA), and Sunday's 2013 edition appeared to measure up to this high standard.

Individual talent isn't an issue when breaking down the roster of the Fenwick girls' soccer team. Midfielder Cali Pyzdrowski and leading scorer Bridget Hillsman have committed to play college soccer at Marquette and Providence, respectively, while the Friars also boast several other skilled players like senior captain/midfielder Lauren Frank, defenders Kelly Collins, Liz Cusick and Miranda Chapa.

The Huskies (20-5) rolled to the Lane Tech tournament championship with three wins on Saturday. OPRF edged Wheeling 5-3 in overtime to clinch the title. Katie Appell scored four goals, Samantha Robbins chipped in a goal and three steals, while Jordin Hale finished with seven blocks and Zoe Erickson had five blocks.

The Huskies (8-3, 5-0) shut down the Dukes 7-1 in the opener and 3-0 in the nightcap of a doubleheader at OPRF.
