The Homestretch

Friday night marked the beginning of some very interesting water polo matchups over the next few days. #5 Naperville Central easily handled #4 Mundelein 14-4 at the Best of the West Tournament on Friday night, setting up a potential showdown with Naperville North in the championship game at 1:30pm tomorrow.

Meanwhile, #5 Lyons and #1 Fenwick set up a game for Saturday afternoon at 1:00pm in Oak Park, their first matchup since as long as I can remember. Fenwick will follow that game by hosting #2 Latin on Monday night, while Lyons will play host to Naperville Central on Tuesday night.

Evanston also plays New Trier next Tuesday might, as both teams enter that game undefeated in the CSL conference and could also meet at Sectionals. In girls action, #1 Fenwick is slated to take on #2 Stevenson on Thursday night, then the big tournament at the end of the week is at Stevenson for boys, with Fenwick, St Pats, Mundelein, Naperville Central, Brother Rice, Palatine, Oak Park, Stevenson, and Lake Forest all in attendance.

But that's next week, when everyone else is in school and working hard and I'm on Spring Break. More on that probably every single day that the sun is shining and the sky is clear on a 70-degree day while everyone is in school except me and like a few other people. I'll let you know how it goes.
