Four minutes. That's how long Hinsdale Central cheerleaders and pommers performed at the Pack the Place pep rally Friday. But each four-minute routine involved several songs, dozens of girls, weeks of practice and countless steps. "We started working on it in November," said Franny Lucente of Hinsdale, a senior on the cheerleading squad and one of its leaders. "We practiced four times a week (except for winter break) and then we've been working on it ever since." Lucente start...

All due respect to Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck, the Hinsdale Central marching band made its own version of a Roman holiday to welcome 2020. The band traveled to Italy last month to perform at the annual Rome New Year Parade. Seniors Mia Gaddis and Lorenzo Jennings said they learned about the trip toward the end of last school year. "I just lost it, I was so excited," said Gaddis, a flutist. "I remember all of (last year's) seniors were so jealous," remarked Jennings, a per...
The athletic trainers office is quiet from 2 to 3 every afternoon - a great time for staff to check in with parents, prep water coolers for games and practices, and make sure supplies are well-stocked. Then the bell rings and the after-school rush begins. On Tuesday afternoon, it's not long before the space is filled with kids. Some use resistance bands to stretch or wrap a heating pad around a sore knee. Many need to have a wrist or ankle taped. One member of the girls...

During the summer of 2016, Molly Schnieders and her dad, Rob, set off to serve with Fields of Dreams Uganda, helping at-risk children through soccer and education. To put it mildly, the journey didn't start well. "The plane that we were supposed to take got struck by lightning, so that delayed us a bunch of hours," said Schnieders, a Hindsale Central senior. "We missed our connecting flight from Amsterdam to Uganda, so we had to fly through Germany, Ethiopia and then Uganda. I...

Hinsdale Central High School seniors Carl Hinchman and Zamaan Qureshi both have a lifelong love of sports. Hinchman started playing football in third grade, and Qureshi was on the soccer field by the time he was in first grade.

Hinchman hits pay dirt Hinchman played a year of Falcon Football in third grade before he was diagnosed...
Last year, the Hinsdale Central girls tennis team brought home the IHSA state championship - the program's 18th overall - with 23 points earned. At this weekend's state tournament in Buffalo Grove, the Red Devils blew past that total, racking up 33 points. This season, however, that meant runner-up honors to Lake Forest's tally of 39. Such are the vagaries of the state finals, where the complexion of the competition, like the weather conditions, changes from season to season....
It’s Halloween in Hinsdale. A time of revelry for both young and old as children finally get to don those carefully chosen costumes, while parents make them put a jacket over because it’s 37 degrees. But lurking in the shadows, just beyond the glowing jack-o-lanterns and illuminated front yard water features, frightful events are stirring in our imagination that would cause anyone’s hair to stand up. Even without a visit to the blow bar. We turn our shielded eyes to the downtown parking deck now under construction, a shini...

"You have to be patient to live here," Patrick remarked with a wry smile. We were trapped in a narrow street in the small French town where we were spending the month. There was nowhere else to go, so we had to wait while the farmer unloaded her crates. It's easier to be patient when you're on holiday. Freed from our regular routines and locales, we take annoyances in stride, even finding them charming. Isn't it quaint that we have to get up early to buy the baguettes before...
