America runs on Dunkin’ March 9th, 2011
My last sports assignment before a week-long vacation was pretty cool. In the final 34.1 seconds Lyons Township converted two Curie turnovers into five points – a three-pointer by Eric Powers and a driving layup by Nick Burt with just over three seconds left (photo below) – to rally from a 64-61 deficit and defeat the Condors 66-64 in the Class 4A sectional semi-final.

Hockey Night in Bensenville March 8th, 2011
The Blackhawk Cup is Illinois’ high school hockey tournament that holds their final game at the United Center. As a hockey player, and fan, I’ll shoot hockey at any level. So when I was assigned to shoot the second round, well I was super excited. Fenwick against Hinsdale Central and Loyola Gold versus Marist. Good times.
