Providence Catholic easily handled Brother Rice in baseball regional semis.
It was a dominating win for Providence Catholic as the Celtics defeated Brother Rice in the Class 4A baseball regional semifinals Friday night. Playing at Sandburg High School in Orland Park, the Celtics had a strong showing both in the batter's box and on the pitching mound. With a final score of 6-0, the Celtics benefited from the solid pitching of Jake Godfrey. The 6-foot-3 junior had strong command of his inside two seam fastball throughout the game giving up just two hits. The playoff pressure quickly diminished as he settled into the game. "After that first inning it changed, and it was just like a regular start," Godfrey said. View More Game Photos: Providence Catholic and Brother Rice in Baseball Playoff Action Patch’s MVP: …

The Class 7A Illinois football championship is a game two years in the making. After Glenbard West and Lincoln-Way East were upset as favorites in 2011, they found their way back in 2012.
I could have written this column last year. After all, Glenbard West and Lincoln-Way East were destined to meet in the Class 7A state championship game. They were both 9-0 heading into the playoffs, were ranked Nos. 2 and 4 in state by The Chicago Tribune and were on opposite sides of the 7A bracket, ensuring a likely showdown between the Hilltoppers and the Griffins. Then, in the second round of the 2011 playoffs, the offenses (which both averaged 38 points per game heading into that round) sputtered. Lake Zurich topped Glenbard West, 10-3, while Wheaton-Warrenville South blanked East 7-0.
