Hinsdale Central varsity girls tennis coach Shawna Zsinko was feeling pretty good about her team's chances at the IHSA state tournament Oct. 25-26 at Hersey High School in Arlington Heights. After all, the team had won conference and sectionals. Then her perspective changed. "When the draws initially came out on Tuesday (Oct. 22), I was a little taken aback," Zsinko said. "Only one of my teams was even seeded - and seeded a little lower than I would have thought. My initial...

Ava Young Clarendon Hills What was goal for senior year? To make it as far as we can as a team in the postseason. I like how our team has this very tight connection and feel like we have to do our best for each other. How do you see your role as a team co-captain? I try to build up everyone’s confidence so we can keep improving and advance further as a team. What’s your specialty on the court? I’m libero, the player in the back row who picks up digs and specializes in serve receive. How long have you played volleyball? Since...

After back-to-back heartbreaking runner-up finishes at the IHSA state final the last two years, the Hinsdale Central boys golfers thought they'd come up just short again. Tied with Evanston for top honors at 12-over par 588 after the final hole Saturday of the two-day state tournament in Bloomington, the Red Devils knew their opponents' fifth-best score of the round - the typical tiebreaking protocol - was better than theirs. But state final rules call for a combination of...

Vija Barber Oak Brook What is your earliest memory of a swim meet? I started swimming when I was 5 years old. My earliest memories were of meets at Oak Brook Bath and Tennis with my friends from Oak Brook. What do you love most about the sport? My favorite part about the sport has to be the people and getting to do something that I love next to some of my best friends and having each other to race and having my teammates to push and motivate me every day. Do you have any...

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....
