Huntley High School will advance to sectionals.
The attrition that accompanies the beginning of March Madness is startling in its callous swiftness. Teams build all year for a run in the state hoops tournament, but most hopes are snuffed almost immediately, and oft-times cruelly. After one week, just four of the 17 Patch Hardwood Tour teams are still standing, proudly hoisting Regional championship plaques. Three of those (Huntley, Crystal Lake Central and Fremd) were listed as this column’s top four teams in the final regular season poll. The fourth (Grayslake Central) is no real surprise, based on potential demonstrated numerous times during the year that belied its record. The advancing quartet in equally divided, with two of the squads (Huntley and Fremd) advancing to Class 4A …

Things have not been going well for McHenry County College's womens' basketball team over the past two seasons. Last season, the team struggled to a 1-26 record. It appears however things may be turning around as the Scots won their second game of the 2010-11 season Tuesday night, defeating Wright College 50-43 in Chicago. Coach Pam Mason said that things are going in a positive direction. "Things are definitely getter better, people are coming into their roles," Mason said. "Megan (Martinez) is a great defender and had five steals against Wright and a lot of her players are coming from driving to the basket, getting fouled and getting to the free throw line.

Proponents argue the system gives more teams the chance to take home trophies, while critics say it waters down the competition
When the Illinois High School Association decided in favor of class expansion for its athletic teams back in 2006, it was met with controversy. The proponents argued that it would give more teams the chance to take home trophies, while the critics said that it would water down the competition. With the new three- and four-class systems now in their fourth year, the move still remains controversial. "I don't like it any better now than I did then. I just don't care for it," said Jacobs boys basketball coach Jim Hinkle, who is now in his 37th year as a high school head coach. "When they went to two classes it seemed to make decent sense. Now we're four, before you know it we'll be football." In 2001, football went to eight classes, and …
Mens' team at 1-7 while women at 1-6 as Scots look to find victories in non-conference play.
McHenry County College's basketball teams have had a rough start to their 2010-11 seasons with men's basketball at 1-7 and women's basketball at 1-6. On the men's side, coach Jason Robinson has watched his team have trouble going from playing in high school to college and said it's been an uphill battle. "We're struggling learning the college basketball game. We got a lot of freshmen still making the adjustment and transition from high school to college basketball," Robinson said. "We lost our first home game of the year on a half-court buzzer-beater and when you have a bunch of freshmen, it's been tough for us to bounce back." There have been some bright spots however for the Scots earlier on like point guard Jermarkus Lovett, who …
