Presidents Cup marks Frankfort artist’s 56th outing as signature artist at PGA major event (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There was a time when Frankfort’s Steve Lotysz was on the other side of the gate looking in. Decades ago, the artist and former dentist, who is known in the golfing world as Steve Lotus, would drive by Medinah Country Club and wonder if there was a chance he would get to do some artistic work on the other side of that gate. “I used to drive by Medinah when I was an artist and a golfer and I would look through the gates and say, you know, I have to try it someday,’’ he said. “Maybe I’ll get to pa
Southland girls volleyball notes: Marlie Peterson, Marian Catholic get used to life on road after storm damage (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Marian Catholic libero Marlie Peterson found out the bad news, she was devastated. An Aug. 11 storm damaged a roof and gym floor at the Chicago Heights school, making the main gym unusable until December. It meant the girls volleyball team will play every match on the road. Peterson turned to fellow senior Jade Craft when she heard the news. “Jade and I actually started crying,” Peterson said. “We were very upset. We waited so long for this season. And then we were told we couldn’t have any
Maggie Tibbott, whose setting is ‘crazy impressive,’ turns up the attack as Joliet Catholic tops Providence (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Joliet Catholic has its own version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in senior Maggie Tibbott. On the volleyball court, Tibbott takes on the dual role of being a setter and a right-side hitter. As a setter, she has one distinct personality. “I have a calm sense to me and I’m ready to give the ball to anyone,” Tibbott said. And when she’s hitting? That’s a whole other story. “I have more of an anger,” she said. “And I love putting the ball down. That’s my mentality.” Tibbott had plenty of those moments
Lemont’s Jayna Huff, who develops into ‘the engine of the team,’ gets into high gear by building up strength (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Lemont’s Jayna Huff started playing volleyball in fifth grade. She fell in love with it right away. Anyone who has seen the sophomore middle hitter now might have a hard time believing that. The 5-foot-11 Huff showed off her strength Thursday night with four kills and five blocks, helping Lemont beat host Shepard 25-20, 25-12 in a South Suburban Conference crossover match in Palos Heights. Maddie Maloney and Kaitlyn Wilson each came up with eight kills to lead Lemont (8-6, 3-0 SSC Blue). Maloney
Illinois recruit Kolby Ross, bringing ‘that dog and that fight,’ takes on expanded role for Lincoln-Way East (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There were times when it looked like Lincoln-Way East’s Kolby Ross would end up in gymnastics. Then there also were times — and some pretty fast times, too — that it appeared track was going to be in her long-term future as she dazzled in grade school at Hickory Creek. But in high school, volleyball came to the forefront for the 5-foot-9 junior outside hitter who has become one of the top players in the state and recently committed to play in college at Illinois. “I went to their camp my when I
