The amount of time and energy Falcon Football's Jay Novatney devoted during his 10 years of leading the program easily could be underestimated, friend and fellow board member Kay Sharples said. "Watching Jay is kind of like seeing the top of an iceberg," she said. "You go to a game and you see the players and cheerleaders and scorekeepers and officials and you think you've seen it all. People have not idea what is going on under the surface of water." Novatney joined the board...
The Hinsdale Central boys golf team was less than satisfied with its sixth-place position after the first round of the IHSA state golf tournament Friday at The Den in Bloomington. It didn't take long on Saturday for the Red Devils to upgrade their status.

They held that spot the rest of the day, shooting 592 as team and extending to 16 the p...

Name: Abhi Reddy Year: senior Hometown: Hinsdale When did you first start running? Beginning of sophomore year. I had a good two mile in soccer for tryouts, so I decided to try out and see how it goes. What has kept you involved? My teammates have been really supportive through quarantine and everything else. We had a good mindset and kept each other motivated through Zoom calls and training schedules and that kind of thing that kept me motivated. What do you enjoy most about...

The first year junior Tessa Barber swam at Hinsdale Central High School, she wasn't sure how to address her coach. After all, he was her dad. "My freshman year, I used to avoid calling anything," she said. "I used to raise my hand in the pool my freshmen year. We call him 'Pop' at home, so I just started calling him that at practice." Other than that glitch, Tessa and her sister, Vija, generally appreciate the opportunity to have their dad, Bob, at practice and their coach at...

Name: Emma Biegansky Year: senior Hometown: Hinsdale When did you first start playing tennis? I started playing tennis when I was around 7, pretty young. My older brother Ryan always played club tennis, too. What do you enjoy about playing doubles? I think that there's a big difference between singles and doubles. There are a lot of different strategies you can use in doubles. Once you find a good partner and get that chemistry going, it can be really fun. Do you have any...

In his second game as starting left back with Major League Soccer's New York Red Bulls on April 25, Hinsdale's Andrew Gutman was in Los Angeles for a nationally televised contest. About 26 minutes in, Gutman worked his way into the opposing penalty area, took a pass from teammate Brian White and unleashed a left footed shot past the Galaxy goalkeeper and into the bottom right corner of the goal. It was Gutman's first MLS goal. "That was an amazing feeling," said the 24-year-ol...

Name: Jack Inabnit Year: senior Hometown: Clarendon Hills When did you start playing golf? I've been playing in golf tournaments since I was probably 8 or 9. A lot of the guys that I played with back then, I play with now in high school golf. What do you enjoy about the sport? I like playing with other people. I think it's relaxing. And I like that you can be creative when you play golf with whatever shot you can imagine. What's the strength of your game? Either my accuracy...
