The Devils just wouldn't be denied.

Mike Wiggins' first introduction to the Hinsdale Central soccer program was at an Illinois High School Soccer Coaches Association Banquet at the Starlight Inn off Interstate 294 near Rosemont.

We've got a couple of seats over here. Why don't you come and join us?" Wiggins remembers...

Emil Riegger senior Hinsdale What do you enjoy about golf? I've always loved how one good shot can keep you going for the rest of the round and switch a bad round to a good round. How have you helped lead the team as a senior? I definitely wanted the team to do well and tried to give support if someone was feeling down or struggling. Before a match I'd have the team form some strategies for playing the course. Do you enjoy golf as a team sport? When you're playing on a team, t...

The D started the second half with a great stop, then Ouimette scampered aro...
If it weren’t for Eric Riegger, the Hinsdale Central boys and girls varsity golf teams each would be short one player this season. Emil, a senior, and Lilly, a freshman, both point to their dad as the reason they got into golf. Emil remembers some early morning play when he was just 9 and 10 years old. “When we lived in Ireland, we used to go in the morning around 6 a.m. to just play nine holes and then come back,” he said. That experience might come in handy this weeke...

What do you enjoy about being on the high school team? Tennis is typically an individual sport, but in the...

Sarah Thornton Senior Hinsdale When did you first start golfing? I started golfing the very beginning of middle school. My brother played and I kind of took over one of his lessons and just started playing. What do you enjoy most about the sport? I love meeting new people and being able to practice. It's really calming for me and what I do in my free time. Do you have any pre-meet rituals or routines? I always listen to music and I have to eat something before I play and...
