Hinsdale Central seniors McKenna Revord and Emma Watcke were a dynamic duo for the girls cross country team all season, leading a Devils squad that otherwise featured a number of underclassmen. True to form, the two paced the squad to a third-place finish (183 points) at Saturday's IHSA state meet in Peoria, but it took contributions from everyone to garner the program's best finish since 2008. Watcke placed seventh with a time of 17:02.47 and Revord was close behind in 10th...

Hinchman started playing football in third grade, and Qureshi was on the soccer field by the time he was in first grade. Competing at the varsity level at Central wasn't in the cards for either of them, but they both found ways to stay involved in the games they love.

Last year the Hinsdale Central boys golf team earned its seventh state title, tying the record for most consecutive wins. This year the team had hoped to establish a new mark. "Ever since I got to Hinsdale Central, all we've done is won down in Bloomington," senior Jack Bartuch said. "That was obviously the goal. It was a different year, a different team. I would say it was a little more of a stretch this year." Coach Jess Krueger agreed. "Yearlong we wanted to get to the...
1U GOLD HEADED TO SUPER BOWL The Hinsdale Falcons 10U Gold Team completed its season-long quest of securing a Super Bowl berth by beating a determined and gritty Downers Grove Panthers team 20-12 at Dickinson Field. A pair of Charles Calhoun explosive touchdown runs gave the Falcons the lead 12-6 at the half. The offense played ball control for a large portion of the third and fourth quarters and added another Calhoun touchdown run to make it 18-6.

Last year, the Hinsdale Central girls tennis team brought home the IHSA state championship - the program's 18th overall - with 23 points earned. At this weekend's state tournament in Buffalo Grove, the Red Devils blew past that total, racking up 33 points. This season, however, that meant runner-up honors to Lake Forest's tally of 39. Such are the vagaries of the state finals, where the complexion of the competition, like the weather conditions, changes from season to season....

Name: Phillip Mathew Year: senior Hometown: Hinsdale What's your earliest memory of playing soccer? It all started in Hinsdale with AYSO.

I've just always loved the technical side of it, the movement of the ball and being able to take people on one on one. I also love how soccer builds a lot of...
Name: Sarah Badawi Year: senior Hometown: Burr Ridge When did you start playing tennis? I started playing tennis when I was 7. My older sisters were playing, and so my parents just put me in a class. I became better at it, so I started playing competitively (at age 11). What do you enjoy most about the sport? I'm a very competitive person. I feel like because tennis is an individual sport, the competitiveness can really come out. I also really enjoy the people I've met over...
