Meet the new Queen Bee She hasn't even begun her first season as head girls varsity basketball coach at Zion-Benton, and already Tanya Johnson seems to have things backward. "I'm the lucky one here," said the Hall of Famer following Tuesday's practice. From the outside looking in, quite the opposite would appear to be true. It's the players and their families who are blessed.

Lake Forest soccer team denied trip to Final Four Lake Forest High's defense had been spot-on with no goals allowed during its four-game win streak in the IHSA Class 4A boys soccer playoffs. But two defensive lapses in the first half of Tuesday's Round of 8 super-sectional here at Loyola University against defending state-champion New Trier proved costly to the Scouts in a 2-1 loss.

The sons also rise Living six doors away from each other since the sixth grade, Vernon Hills High football stars DaVaris Daniels and Evan Spencer have found enough in common through the years to become best friends. Juniors on a successful 8-2 Cougars team that has already racked up an IHSA Class 5A playoff win, the pair are also sons of prominent NFL fathers.

At home on the road?

Waukegan will play just six games in the Dog Pound during the regular season -- one game against each Central Suburban League South Division opponent and a game the Dogs are required by league rules to play against a team from the league's North Division.

Extra Points

News you can use ... or maybe not. From the better-late-than-never department of sports, a tip of the Lakes cap goes to Eagle senior Abbie Horan, who fired an amazing 68 at Vernon Hills Golf Course to win the Vernon Hills Invite by eight strokes earlier this month.

Players must relax

It wasn't until Sunday night that the basketball buzz finally started to dim a bit. All day/night Saturday and into Sunday morn, just about everywhere you went in Waukegan -- drugstore, Jewel, Wal-Mart, bank, oil-change place, post office, gas station -- literally everywhere, smiling people wanted to talk about high-school hoops.

This was one for the ages

This reporter received an e-mail on Friday afternoon from former North Chicago boys basketball coach Tom Gregorin scolding me on my enthusiasm for basketball in Lake County this season.
