Name: Angelia Berti Year: senior Hometown: Hinsdale What was the feeling last year when the season was canceled? I was extremely disappointed because I only play one sport, and when you train for something all year and then for it to get canceled, it just feels like you wasted a lot of time. Does this season have more significance? In a way because it's my last year, and I think I have to do my best. My goal is to win a state medal with my doubles partner Lily (McCain). What g...
Last year was a year like no other - especially for the docs who take care of Chicago's professional athletes. "It was kind of eerie - kind of like watching a men's softball league game," Dr. Chuck Bush-Joseph of Hinsdale, a surgeon at Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush and one of the team doctors for the Chicago White Sox, said of the team's games in empty stadiums. This March looks much different. Spring training is in full swing, and the Sox home opener is set for April 8. But...

Name: Maria Rivera Year: senior Hometown: Clarendon Hills How did you react to learning there'd be a girls basketball season? We really had not hoped as a team that there would be a season. It was literally like we learned it was happening and we had practice the next day. We were all super-happy, and being a senior, I knew this is my last time to shine and to play a sport in high school. What's your earliest memory? I've played basketball since I was able to walk. I played in...
