     A look back at the 2009 Courier-News high school football preview offers a reminder why I pegged St. Charles North as the area's top team this fall.

    St. Charles East was simply overmatched in its super-sectional match against Cary-Grove on Saturday night.

In front of a packed home crowd and a vocal student section, the Saints saw their bid for a third straight trip downstate and a chance to defend its Class 4A state title come to an end with a 25-20, 25-13 defeat.<br>

  <description><![CDATA[
    The Bears' offensive line has been under siege of late, but it's only one part of a unit that has been dysfunctional as a whole. The offense is running the ball like it did last season -- not well enough -- and quarterback Jay Cutler has been smacked around some behind a line that has gone from using three new starters this season to two after the Josh Beekman switcheroo last week.

    They're not the Cardiac Kids just yet, but the Bulls are making a habit of comeback victories at home. Four days after overcoming an 18-point deficit in the second half en route to defeating the Milwaukee Bucks, the Bulls erased a nine-point deficit and survived some shaky free-throw shooting down the stretch to earn a 93-90 victory Saturday against the Charlotte Bobcats at the United Center.

    <P>Stan Bowman will attend his first NHL general managers meeting this week in Toronto as the Blackhawks' GM. The groundwork for trades often is created at the meeting, but after the Hawks went 8-4-1 in October, it didn't seem Bowman would be very interested in tweaking his roster.<!--dropend--></P>
