Girls Basketball The girls' varsity basketball team entered its postseason on Tuesday night against Taft. The Titans appeared nervous in the first quarter, falling behind 9-4.

10 Girls Basketball The girls' varsity basketball team entered its postseason on Tuesday night against Taft. The Titans appeared nervous in the first quarter, falling behind 9-4. The remainder of the game was a different story, as the Titans prevailed Libbie Vanderveen and Makayla Stadler made some great plays at the end of the second quarter to give the Titans a 7 point halftime lead. The Titans ran their offense to perfection at the beginning of the second half, as Vanderveen, Stadler, Lizzy Shaw, Liz LaPierre and Kristin Ralston took turns making lay-ups and assisting on the scores. The Titans led by as many as 17, but some clutch

11 three point shooting by Taft cut the lead to nine in the fourth quarter. Ralston hit a three on the next possession which was the dagger, as the Titans' lead never went below ten. Stadler was everywhere, leading the team with 17 points. Challen Flaws played her usual stellar defense. Next up for the Titans was 28-1 Maine West, many observers choice to win the state title. The Warriors won the CSL North with a 10-0 mark, its closest game a 37 point blowout. They won their regional semi-final by 70 points. The girls had lost an early battle against MW by 25, but were determined to turn things around. Behind an amazing crowd in the Titan dome, the Titans gave Maine West all it could handle. The Warriors led at halftime, but the girls remained confident in their ability. A basket by Ralston at the third quarter buzzer on a dish from Vanderveen cut the Maine West lead to 2 entering the final quarter. The Titans took the lead with 7 minutes remaining on a basket and free throw from LaPierre on a great pass from Shaw. However, the Warriors pressure defense and terrific shooting took over the last 6 minutes and the Titans fell Stadler, Vanderveen, and Shaw worked havoc on the Maine West guards in the Titans' spread offense. Vanderveen and her teammates held Maine West's leading scorer to no points. LaPierre and Ralston got the Warriors' 6'3 center in foul trouble and Stadler did the same to Maine West's point guard. It was only the second time this year that Maine West was losing in the fourth quarter. Tears were shed after the buzzer sounded, but the girls were proud of the fact that they were playing their best basketball of the year at its conclusion. Seniors Shaw, LaPierre, Halle Smith, Katherine Chu, Jamie Kahn, Molly Sedin, Janet Watson and Megan O'Loughlin will be greatly missed, but the underclassmen are determined to switch spots with Maine West next year. The Titans finished their campaign with a 20-9 record.

15 Boys Hockey Saying that the GBS and GBN hockey teams have played close games this year, is like saying Chicago got a little snow this month. After dropping the opener of a 3-game SHL playoff series 2-0 in Northbrook, the Titans came roaring back at home

16 on Tuesday night downing GBN 4-2 with scoring provided by Thomas Lundal (2), Patrick Dillon, and Ben Thomas. Jamie Diurdzik stopped 29 shots in net. Saturday night was the "rubber" game of the match in Northbrook and drew a huge, raucous student section to cheer on the Titans. In keeping with the theme of playing close games, GBN was able to break a scoreless tie with only 0.4 seconds left on the clock in the second period. The third period was a back-and-forth battle with the Titans ringing the puck off the goal post twice. Jamie Dziurdzik stopped an incredible 41 shots, but GBN was able to seal the victory by scoring an empty net goal late in the third. This ends the Titans run in the SHL playoffs, but they will open up against Mt. Carmel in the Illinois State Playoffs next Saturday, February 7:55 the Glenview Ice Center. The team really appreciate the continued student support for the GBS Titan Hockey Club. Their in-game enthusiasm drew smiles from South players as well as some opponents. Please continue to demonstrate your high level of fan sportsmanship. Alumni Update: Jack Whetstone '17 Jack Whetstone ('17) is off to great start for Emory University in Atlanta. Jack recently won the 5k at the Dunamis Super Meet held in Emerson, GA.
