Titans aiming for second straight<br />
regional crown in baseball<br />
JEFF VORVA, Sports Editor<br />
Tinley Park High<br />
School’s baseball team<br />
won its first regional in 25<br />
years last year and the Titans<br />
have enough players<br />
on their squad from last<br />
year to make a legitimate<br />
run at winning two in a<br />
row.<br />
The Illinois High School<br />
Association released the<br />
assignments for baseball<br />
and softball and the Titans<br />
are in Sub-Sectional<br />

Thornton Fractional<br />
North, Chicago (Agricultural<br />
Science) Morgan<br />

Evergreen Park,<br />
Lemont, Bremen and Oak<br />
Forest.<br />
The seeds were scheduled<br />
to come out Tuesday,<br />
May 7.<br />
In Class 4A, Andrew is<br />
at the Lockport Sectional<br />
and will host its own regional.<br />
In softball, Tinley Park<br />
will be in Sub-Sectional A<br />

Andrew junior John<br />
Bickel won the 100- and<br />

Friday, May 3. He claimed<br />
the 100 in :10.86 seconds<br />
and the 200 in :22.11. Although<br />

Titans take four titles<br />
Tinley Park’s Rebecca<br />
Beltran won the discus<br />
with a throw of 109-feet,<br />
05.50-inches in the South<br />

she finished seventh in the<br />
state in Class 2A in that<br />
event.<br />
Elmhurst recruit Anna<br />
Kovats won a conference<br />
title in the 3,200-meter run<br />
with a 12 minute, :05.41<br />
second showing. Brooke<br />
Davis won the 300 hurdles<br />
with a :49.61. Lilly Johnson<br />

Soccer seeds<br />
Could there be a D230<br />
battle between Sandburg<br />
and Andrew to determine<br />
the Andrew Class 3A Sectional<br />
championship in<br />
girls soccer? That is what<br />
the coaches are predicting.<br />
Sandburg drew the No.<br />
1 seed and Andrew, which<br />
finished fourth in the state<br />
last year, was seeded second.<br />
Lincoln-Way Central<br />
and Mother McAuley were<br />
seeded third and fourth respectively.<br />
Andrew opens the postseason<br />
on at 4 p.m. Tuesday,<br />
May 14 against Oak<br />
Lawn at the Argo Regional.<br />
In Class 2A, Tinley<br />
Park drew the fifth seed<br />
at the Rich East Sectional<br />
and will face 12th-seeded<br />
Richards at 4:30 p.m.<br />
Tuesday, May 14 in the<br />
Oak Forest Regional.<br />
Volleyball seeds<br />
Andrew drew the eighth<br />
seed in the Marist Sectional<br />
and will open play<br />
at 6:30 p.m. on May 20<br />
against 25th-seeded Chicago<br />
(Agricultural Science).<br />
Tinley Park drew the<br />
22nd seed and will play<br />

7:30 p.m. May 20. Tinley<br />
Park is in its second year<br />
of sponsoring boys volleyball<br />
and the Titans first win<br />
in program history came<br />
against Lemont earlier this<br />
year in the Homewood-<br />
Flossmoor Tournament.
