Hinsdale native Luke Adams wasn't sure what to expect in the July 2022 Major League Baseball amateur draft. He'd developed a connection with Milwaukee Brewers during his senior year at Hinsdale Central, but Adams also had committed to play at Michigan State University. Adams watched day one of the draft, then day two without hearing his name and felt resigned to put his pro dreams on the bench. But day three delivered a curveball. "I was just drinking a smoothie and watching '...

Denis Altman Hinsdale How has your senior soccer season been different? Consistency is big for me, and being on varsity last year has helped build that consistency with a lot of my teammates. I've been putting the work in the summer to come into the season ready to compete. What do you enjoy about the sport? It's a versatile sport, so the ability to adapt is really important. You can't predict anything and you have to adjust to whatever is in front of you. How have you...

Abigail Gambla Hinsdale How did you get started playing tennis? I started playing when I was around 6 years old, just kind of hitting with my dad, going to the local club. I would say probably when I was around 9 years old, that's when I started playing more tournaments. What do you love about playing for Central? I just love being on the team. I've met so many great people and we've established so many traditions. The tennis team has made such a great impact on my life. What...

1U SILVER TEAM SUFFERS FIRST LOSS The 10u Silver Falcons took their first loss of the season courtesy of the Lemont Hornets this past weekend. They played tough, but the hard-hitting Hornets proved to be too much when it was all said and done. The Falcons got offensive production from quarterback Caden Mitchell through the air who found ’make you miss’ Mas Butitta for two big completions. The first was a 49-yard TD reception where Butitta shook free from a would-be tackler and sprinted for the team’s only score of the day....
Attending a sporting event at Hinsdale Central High School isn't the only way to support a student-athlete - or a good cause.

Since the start of the school year, the cheerleaders have held a fundraiser at Fuller House, the girls swim and dive team held a car wash at the school, the boys and girls golf teams held a food drive for HCS Family Services and the...

Dru Devata Clarendon Hills What was your goal going into your senior golf season? There's nothing like winning as a team, and that's the main goal. Winning individually is great, but winning as a team is a different level. It's a different dynamic. It makes the winning that much sweeter and It makes the losing a little more painful What has playing for the Red Devils meant to you? Playing golf at Central has given me a different community, and when I was an underclassman it ga...

The Chicago Fire's game hosting D.C. United at SeatGeek Stadium on Sept. 7 was Andrew Gutman's 100th start as a Major League Soccer player, a special milestone in a career that had come full circle back to the club of his origin story.

No one could have expected, however, that Gutman would take the celebration next-level with one of...

Emma Marquardt Willowbrook What do you love most about running? What I love about running is the feeling after. It feels really good, especially on Saturdays, to be able to say it's only 9 in the morning and I already ran 5 miles. It's a good start to the day. After school, it's a good break between school and homework. It gets my energy up. It's nice to talk to my friends at practice, too. Where do you most like to run? My favorite place to run is Graue Mill. We go there a lo...
