But we did,” added Novoselsky, who is known by his teammates as Big Z. “We believe in ourselves. And that’s all we need.” Big Z, who is the son of a big man in former NFL tight end Brett Novoselsky (Bears and Vikings, 1988-94), had one of the game’s big moments, when he singled home two …

Thu, 24 May 2012 03:01:49 -0500

Buffalo Grove High School senior Robert Hawkins pitched a five-inning no-hitter against Wheeling High School in the regular season. What would he do for an encore against the same team in an IHSA sectional quarterfinal Monday?

Hawkins worked a complete-game shutout, striking out eight and issuing no walks. In his no-hitter, he walked seven batters. The Bison backed him up with four runs on six hits, all doubles. Buffalo Grove’s 4-0 victory advanced the No. 15 Bison to …

Boys Track: Stevenson’s Kim, Deloye stand out at NSC Meet

Fri, 18 May 2012 16:43:38 -0500

He might be a little guy, but Stevenson’s Kihwan Kim runs and jumps like a giant. At last Thursday’s North Suburban Conference meet, Kim pulled a rare double. First, he won the long jump title with a leap of 21-0 3/4. Then, he ran the second leg of the Patriots’ winning 4x100 relay team (43.44). Not bad for a 5-foot-4 sophomore. “It’s usually juniors and seniors. Rarely in boys track do you have (a sophomore) helping you score,” said Stevenson coach Andy Farrissey. Kim’s memorable day also included af fifth-place showing in the 300 hurdles (41.61). He wasn’t the only …
