Masterpieces. Leonardo Da Vinci's 'Mona Lisa' or 'The Last Supper.' Add Plainfield Central junior right-hander Carter Prochaska's three-hit shutout of the Providence Celtics in the third-place game of the 14th Annual WJOL/Don Ladas Memorial Baseball Tournament. Carter's masterpiece may not be as lofty in status as Da Vinci's, but it was pretty darn good. With a moving fastball and changing speeds effectively, the junior right-hander totally shut down the hard-hitting Celtics, leading Plainfield Central (4-1) to a 3-0 win. Sur...
After destroying Lincoln-Way West (12-2, five innings) and Providence (12-2, six innings) in the 14th Annual WJOL/Don Ladas Memorial Tournament, the two-time defending tournament champion Lockport Porters were looking for the three-peat at the expense of the always dangerous Minooka Indians. In the first two games of the tournament, Lockport's murderer's row of a lineup crushed the baseball at a .440 clip. Led by the tournaments MVP, junior first baseman, Victor Izquierdo (2-for-4, 2RBI) the Porters (5-1) crushed the Indians...

"I tell the kids to just stay close," Lockport head coach Andy Satunas said. "With the way we can hit, good things will happen."

After rolling past Sandburg 23-0 to pick up their first Southwest Suburban Blue victory last week, the Lockport Porters went looking for bigger gains on Saturday. In the way stood the Bolingbrook Raiders and the area's leading passer Vince Meschi. Meschi completed 24 of his 39 passes for 305 yards and one touchdown. Not bad. Totally overlooked in Saturday's quarterback match-up, however, was Lockport senior quarterback Riley Pfeiffer. All Pfeiffer did was complete four of his...

The 1930’s actor and vaudeville performer Will Rogers was one quoted as saying, “You never get a second chance to make a good first impression.” And while Rogers died some 50 years before Niko Schultz was born, the Plainfield South senior sure lived up to Rogers’ words. In Schultz’ first-ever attempt to run 600-meters at the CYUP Misfits Invitational in Chicago, he posted a time of 1:19.86, making him the fastest in that race this year in the nation and the fastest ever in t...
