Bartlett, SC East eye second place in UEC
The final week of the regular season for Class 3A and 4A teams won't have much flare to it. Most conference races were determined last week, leaving teams eager to improve their standing and gain momentum heading into regionals, which begin on Monday.
Hampshire captures outright BNC East title
Struggling all night to shake Richmond-Burton, Hampshire's girls stuck to something coach Sue Ellett called "the old Hampshire philosophy" of winning games and the Whip-Purs came away with a 64-55 victory for an undisputed Big Northern East Division title.
St. Edward's Madden all-round title winner
Area Briefs: St. Edward freshman Abby Madden will be making her way to the State Finals. The gymnast won the Schaumburg Sectional on Monday night by posting an all-around score of 37.2. Older sister Jordyn Madden, a sophomore, finished in sixth place with a score of 36.5.
Martz's offense must keep Bears' defense off field
Neil Hayes: Forgive Lovie Smith for allowing the search for Ron Turner's
replacement to drag on, but this was a critical hire not only because
the new offensive coordinator will be in charge of Jay Cutler's
development. With all due respect to Rod Marinelli, who was promoted to defensive
coordinator Friday, the new offensive coordinator could be the person
who makes the biggest impact on the defense next season.
Peyton's place takes hit
Rick Morrissey: -Peyton Manning got set up. Almost immediately after the Colts won the
AFC Championship Game, the discussion in the media turned to his
legacy. If he won a second Super Bowl, the thinking went, he would be
considered among the best quarterbacks ever. But damn if the fluff wasn't used to hang him after the Saints upset the Colts on Sunday night.
Thomas' Bulls time likely about finished
John Jackson: Forget his profanity-laced tirade at Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro after
the game on Friday in Atlanta for a moment. The biggest sign that Tyrus
Thomas is utterly clueless was that he chose that game -- one of his
worst with the team -- to explode and whine about playing time.
Cubs and Sox pack their bags for spring training
The Cubs and the White Sox packed up for spring training in Arizona on Monday. The Cubs will travel to Mesa and the Sox will make the trip to Glendale. Here's a list of what the Cubs will be trucking out to their training facility, what's already on site and the workout schedules for both teams.
Goal tenders' assembly line
Cristobal Huet still might be the Blackhawks' No. 1 goalie, but coach Joel Quenneville seems to be giving Antti Niemi every opportunity to win the job.
SPORTS WIRE: Vizquel gets Aparicio's No. 11
The White Sox are taking Hall of Fame shortstop Luis Aparicio's No. 11 out of retirement for newly acquired 11-time Gold Glove winner Omar Vizquel. Vizquel said he will wear the number as a tribute to his Venezuelan countryman.
Well worth the risk for Hawks Olympians
The concerns are obvious for those NHL teams with players participating in the Winter Olympics in Vancouver later this month. There are the additional risks of injury and fears that players might tire down the stretch.
