Loyola’s Class of 2019 celebrates the ‘big little things’ 

Michael Wojtychiw 

Sports Editor 

As members of the 

Loyola Academy Class of 

2019 finish their four-year 

chapter at the Wilmette 

school, a new one awaits 

them in the fall when most 

head off to college. 

For many of the 493 

students, that will include 

new challenges and experiences, 

like being away 

from their families for an 

extended period of time, 

being surrounded by people 

they don’t know and 

the rigors of secondary education, 

just to name a few. 

Many of them, like valedictorian 

Bridget Hickey, 

are happy with how the 

school has prepared them 

for their future. 

“I think Loyola has 

definitely prepared all of 

us very well for our future, 

whatever that is for 

each of us,” she said. “Just 

with the level of coursework 

and the relationships 

we’ve made with teachers, 

we’ve all kind of been able 

to just be better people 

and be more prepared for 

whatever it is that we’re 

heading, or whatever path 

we’re heading on. Especially 

for me, I’m planning 

on going into the medical 

field, so I think Loyola’s 

science department has really 

prepared me and students 

like that to get into 

that, to get into that field 

Graduate Christopher Hara (center), of Wilmette, 

receives his diploma from his father, Emmett (right), and 

Loyola Academy President Rev. Patrick McGrath, S.J. 

and to know and to be prepared 

for the level of work 

that will come with that.” 

The Loyola Class 

of 2019 faced a number 

of hardships that 

other schools may not 

go through, including a 

change in leadership as 

Charlie Heintz took over 

as principal after the resignation 

of Dr. Kathryn 

Baal. 

Since then, Heintz has 

been named the school’s 

full-time principal and 

looks to lead the academy 

into the future. 

“In the last few years 

I’ve had access to a lot 

of students, and it was really 

great to have built up 

those relationships prior 

to ascending to this position,” 

he said. “I’m not going 

to say it was seamless, 

but I think having had the 

chance to work with students 

in a variety of different 

activities rather it was 

our LA way programming, 

or our entrepreneurship 

group I was able to build 

really strong relationships 

so I felt like I stepped into 

this role and I knew a good 

portion of the senior class 

already.” 

This year’s class is the 

first that has seen multiple 

years of the LA Way program, 

a program that is designed 

in developing leadership 

skills, a program 

started last year. 

Heintz made sure to 

spotlight the college counseling 

department, especially 

Jamie Simon, who 

has been key with working 

in the Chicago Scholars 

Program. Loyola became 

involved with the program, 

one that is a cooperative 

group between colleges 

and universities and under 

represented minority students 

who live in the city

of Chicago. Students who 

are identified as college 

scholars and meet those 

requirements can go and 

in a short interview format 

with a variety of schools, 

generally get determinations 

on admissions and 

levels of financial aid, if 

not that day within a very 

short period of time. This 

year around 25 students 

were named Chicago 

Scholars. 

Heintz noted that of the 

493 graduating seniors, 

they are attending 131 

different colleges. Eightynine 

percent were accepted 

to either their first or second 

choice school. And 

146 were accepted to every 

school they applied to. 

The student leadership, 

led by senior Student 

Council President Samantha 

Mallahan, felt that they 

were heard in everything 

they wanted to accomplish 

this year and that goes 

back to the administration 

and faculty’s willingness 

to listen to them. 

“One of the biggest 

things is that I think all 

the adults there, they were 

helpful and so supportive 

and they all want to 

make sure that our voice 

is heard,” Mallahan said. 

“We had a lot of meetings 

with like the principal and 

all of the other people who 

want to come at the school, 

and they wanted so, what 

we wanted and what 

we thought needs to be 

changed and what would 

be better for the school, 

and we basically get freedom 

to kind of share our 

ideas and hear our feedback, 

and they’re very accepting 

of what we have to 

say, and I think them being 

so encouraging of us taking 

the bigger role really 

helped.” 

Hickey summed it up 

well in her valedictorian 

speech. 

“Deliberate and purposeful 

acts, regardless 

of size, define who we are 

as a community and allow 

us to overcome challenges. 

As a class, we 

have supported each other 

through difficult times; 

we have motivated each 

other through small acts 

of kindness and love,” 

Hickey said. “It is in these 

moments where we find 

God’s grace, and, more 

importantly, where we 

realize each of us has the 

power to become an instrument 

of God’s grace. 

“While these small examples 

may seem insignificant 

in the grand scheme 

of things, they are rooted 

in the relationships we 

form. Friendship remains 

proof of God’s grace, and 

these small moments: actions, 

deeds, gestures... 

they transform the ordinary 

into extraordinary.”

New Trier returns to Welsh-Ryan Arena to graduate 941 students 

Megan Bernard, Editor 

New Trier High School welcomed 

941 seniors and their 

families Sunday, June 2, into 

the remodeled Welsh-Ryan 

Arena at Northwestern University 

for its 2019 commencement 

ceremony. 

The Class of 2019 is smaller 

than previous classes at New 

Trier; however, that did not deter 

them from making a lasting 

impact, Winnetka principal Denise 

Dubravec said. 

“There is a real personal investment 

with our students 

within not only their academics 

and extracurricular and service; 

it’s broad and wide, beyond the 

community of New Trier,” Dubravec 

said. “They are compassionate 

kids.” 

At commencement, senior 

Barbara Neumann, of Winnetka, 

spoke on behalf of her 

class. Beforehand, she told The 

Commencement speaker Barbara Neumann, of Winnetka, talks to 

the graduates. Photos by Lois Bernstein/22nd Century Media 

Anchor that she was excited. 

“I wanted to give the speech 

because I’m so grateful for my 

experience at New Trier,” she 

said. “I wanted share my pride 

with everyone.” 

Neumann said New Trier’s 

motto has inspired her throughout 

her four years at the high 

school. Next year, she’ll continue 

implementing the motto and 

further her studies at University 

of Madison-Wisconsin’s business 

school. 

“What an inspiring blueprint to 

shape our lives moving forward: 

to continue to commit our minds 

to inquiry, hearts to compassion 

and lives to service,” Neumann 

said while addressing her class at 

commencement. “We have been 

given the tools to reach higher 

and be better — to live the motto 

of New Trier — and now it is 

your time to do it. 

“Be passionate about something, 

anything, commit your 

mind to it, get involved, and 

leave your mark, no matter how 

small. You don’t have to be the 

president of the United States — 

who says you couldn’t? — or end 

world hunger, but do something.”

THE WILMETTE BEACON 

Wilmette’s Herguth carved 

own niche during storied 

journalism career 

A golden era of Chicago 

newspaper journalism 

can arguably be said 

to have occurred from the 

mid-1950s into the 1980s, 

when the internet began to 

undermine the printed daily 

newspaper business model. 

Armed with a combination 

of grand wordsmiths, 

street-smart columnists, 

relentless investigators, 

old pros who could rewrite 

Bible chapters in an hour if 

asked, the occasional scallywag, 

and lots of shoe 

leather, the Chicago Sun- 

Times, Chicago Tribune, 

Chicago Today and Chicago 

Daily News slugged it 

out day by day, deadline by 

deadline, to beat the competition, 

and in the process 

grab readers’ attention. 

In the midst of that colorful 

journalistic maelstrom 

stood Bob Herguth, who 

during his tenure at the 

Chicago Daily News from 

1955 to 1978 and the Chicago 

Sun-Times from 1979 

to 1999 carved out a kinder, 

gentler, eternally optimistic 

style and niche uniquely his 

own. 

A few, but not many of 

the longtime Wilmette resident’s 

old colleagues and 

friends at the Daily News 

and Sun-Times still click

First West Nile-positive mosquitoes 

found this year in Glencoe 

Submitted by North Shore 

Mosquito Abatement 

District 

The North Shore Mosquito 

Abatement District 

has found the first mosquitoes 

to test positive for 

West Nile virus in the district 

this year. 

Five batches of mosquitoes, 

collected between 

May 20-22, tested positive 

for West Nile virus 

in the lab on May 23. The 

mosquitoes were collected 

from NSMAD traps in 

Evanston, Glencoe, Glenview, 

Northbrook and 

Winnetka. 

While the risk of being 

infected with West Nile 

virus is low at this time of 

year, the NSMAD recommends 

that residents take 

personal protection measures 

to minimize mosquito 

bites including: using 

insect repellent, wearing 

loose fitting clothing and 

avoiding peak mosquito 

feeding times during the 

hours around dawn and 

dusk. Residents are urged 

to examine their property 

and eliminate any items 

that can hold water, particularly 

smaller items that 

may be easily overlooked. 

Remember, if it can hold 

water, it can breed mosquitoes.

his professional life this 

way. 

“Chicago journalism is 

famous for bulldog reporters 

who rake muck for 

the public good. Robert 

J. Herguth had a different 

approach. His gentle demeanor 

and lighthearted, 

pun-filled way of viewing

THE LAKE FOREST LEADER 

Fire department rescues 

woman from roof of 

burning home in Lake 

Forest 

A female homeowner 

was found on the roof of 

her burning home in Lake 

Forest in the early morning 

hours on Friday, May 31, 

according to a press release 

from the Lake Forest Fire 

Department. 

A structure fire was reported 

at 4:22 a.m. in the 

southeast part of the city. 

When Lake Forest Police 

arrived on scene, they 

found the sole occupant of 

the home on the roof in the 

rear of the house. Soon after 

fire department arrival, 

personnel reported moderate 

smoke coming from the 

same location the female 

was standing, the release 

says. 

A crew member from 

the first arriving engine 

grabbed a ladder and was 

able to rescue the female, 

without injuries. She was 

evaluated by paramedics 

for smoke inhalation and 

signed a medical release, 

the release says. 

Additional firefighters 

entered the home to ensure 

there were no other occupants. 

Firefighters pulled a hose 

line and began an aggressive 

interior attack and had 

water on the fire within 

minutes of arrival to the 

scene. 

The fire was out by 4:40 

a.m., but the fire department 

performed overhaul 

to ensure complete extinguishment, 

the release says. 

There were no injuries to 

emergency personnel. 

There was significant 

smoke and fire damage to 

the home. The cause of the

THE NORTHBROOK TOWER 

Northbrook Court 

redevelopment up for final 

vote June 11 

The Northbrook Court 

redevelopment project is 

now one vote away from 

approval. 

During its May 28 meeting, 

the Northbrook Village 

Board voted 6-1 to have 

village staff draw up final 

approval documents, which 

will be considered during 

the board’s June 11 meeting. 

Only Trustee Jason 

Han, who so far has voted 

against every action supporting 

the redevelopment, 

opposed the motion. 

The proposed mixed-use 

redevelopment plan for the 

west end of the Northbrook 

Court Shopping Center, 

located at 1315-1825 

Lake Cook Road, would 

include up to 315 luxury 

apartments in a five-story 

residential structure, which 

would sit atop two levels 

of indoor parking containing 

432 parking stalls for 

the residential building. It 

would also house a grocery 

store and several restaurants 

and retail spaces. 

The applicant, Northbrook 

Anchor Acquisition, 

also proposed approximately 

106,000 square feet 

of new retail development, 

as well as redevelopment 

of approximately 72,000 

square feet of the west end 

of the existing shopping 

center, where Macy’s currently 

connects to the mall. 

The project includes 

a reconfiguration of the 

road that loops around the 

Northbrook Court, with the 

inclusion of a dedicated 

bike lane in a portion of 

the roadway area adjacent 

to the residential portion of 

the redevelopment. 

Northbrook residents 

spent nearly two hours addressing 

the board about 

the proposal.

Glencoe residents celebrate Memorial 

Day at Veterans Memorial Park

Anahi Toolabian sings the national anthem on 

Monday, May 27, at the Village of Glencoe’s Memorial 

Day Ceremony at Veterans Memorial Park. Gerri 

Fernandez/22nd Century Media 

The Memorial Day rain 

didn’t hit until the afternoon, 

allowing Glencoe to 

hold its morning ceremony 

outdoors at Veterans Memorial 

Park rather than 

moving it indoors to the 

Takiff Center. 

The Monday, May 27 

Memorial Day ceremony 

was held at the park site 

that was dedicated nearly 

a century ago to honor the 

Village’s fallen World War 

I soldiers. 

In November 1921, the 

community planted a tree 

and placed a boulder at the 

base of the tree honoring 

Glencoe’s fallen World War 

I soldiers. Village President 

Larry Levin recited 

the words of Otto Barnett, 

a founder of the Glencoe 

Public Library, from the 

dedication of the park in 

1921: “Honor the dead by 

serving the living. ... Let 

this boulder in witness our 

pledge as individuals and 

as a community that we 

shall ever cherish and valiantly 

guard that priceless 

heritage for which they 

died.” 

This year, Glencoe has 

been celebrating its sesquicentennial, 

the 150th anniversary 

of its incorporation 

in 1869. Thus, the Village 

has been commemorating 

its history this year and the 

Memorial Day ceremony 

was no exception. 

Levin, Glencoe Historical 

Society president Ed 

Goodale and former Glencoe 

Public Library executive 

director Peggy Hamil 

told the stories of Village 

residents who served in 

World War II, which included 

27 fallen soldiers. 

Glencoe’s population during 

World War II was approximately 

6,800 and has 

grown to just under 9,000. 

“When we look at that 

history, what we find is a 

small-sized town that produced 

oversized efforts in 

support of our nation and 

its principles,” Levin said. 

The Glencoe Boy Scouts 

raised the colors and led 

the pledge of allegiance. 

New Trier student Anahi 

Toolabian sang the national 

anthem. 

Following the national 

anthem, veterans in attendance 

were asked to raise 

their hands to be acknowledged 

by the public, who 

responded with applause. 

The Glencoe Girl Scouts 

laid the wreath and Central 

School student Rachel 

Miller played “Taps.” Rev. 

Dwayne Gary of St. Paul 

AME Church served as the 

master of ceremony and 

Rev. Scott Himel of North 

Shore United Methodist 

Church gave the invocation. 

“We’re here today to 

honor and remember those 

who have lost their lives in 

service to this country and 

fought for its ideals,” Gary 

said. 

Former Village Manager 

Bob Morris and Glencoe 

Historical Society board 

member Evey Schweig 

read the names from the 

Roll of Honor, which includes 

the Village’s fallen 

soldiers from World Wars I 

and II and the Vietnam and 

Korean Wars. Following 

the reading of the names, 

a moment of silence was 

held in their memory. 

“When we read the 

names of all of those who 

fought and died for their 

country, we should remember 

what they fought for: 

democracy, freedom for all 

people and human dignity 

and rights,” Hamil said. 

Gary concluded the ceremony 

by reciting the words 

of James Garfield at Arlington 

National Cemetery 

at the first Memorial Day 

in May 1868: “We do not 

know one promise these 

men made, one pledge 

they gave, one word they 

spoke, but we do know 

they summed up and perfected, 

by one supreme 

act, the highest virtues of 

men and citizens. For love 

of country they accepted 

death, and thus resolved all 

doubts, and made immortal 

their patriotism and their 

virtue.”

Eric DeGrechie 

Managing Editor 

Staying healthy is a 

challenge we all face. Increased

own personal wellness on 

the back burner. 

For those looking

on how to improve 

their health, the inaugural

area and have had really 

great success,” said 

Heather Warthen, chief 

events officer of organizer 

22nd Century Media, 

publisher of The Glencoe

to bring a new event 

that was health-focused to 

the North Shore so it just 

made sense.” 

For those so inclined, a 

chance to run a 5K is also 

in the mix Aug. 25. The

67 New Trier students awarded Seal of Biliteracy 

Submitted by New Trier 

Sixty-seven New Trier 

seniors are recent recipients 

of the Seal of Biliteracy, 

an award granted 

by the Illinois State Board 

of Education and given by 

New Trier High School’s 

Modern and Classical Languages 

Department in recognition 

and celebration of 

students who demonstrate 

a high level of proficiency 

in English and one or more 

other languages. 

Students demonstrate 

their language proficiency 

by earning an English 

score of 21 or higher on 

the ACT or a score of 4.8 

on the ACCESS exam. 

Students can show proficiency 

in another language 

earning a 4 or a 5 on the 

AP (Advanced Placement) 

language exam or by taking 

a state approved test, 

such as the AAPPL (Assessment 

of Performance 

toward Proficiency in Languages) 

exam, and earning 

an Intermediate High or 

Advanced score. 

Learning another language 

prepares students 

to be citizens of the global 

community by developing 

an awareness and appreciation 

of other cultures. 

The process of learning to 

comprehend and communicate 

in another language 

develops insight into the 

nature of language, as 

well as connections to 

other disciplines. The Seal 

of Biliteracy builds upon 

the rich linguistic and 

cultural assets of the district 

and community, providing 

students with the 

necessary skills to be successful 

in college, career 

and life. 

The Modern and Classical 

Languages Department 

is honored to recognize the 

following qualified New 

Trier seniors who demonstrated 

proficiency in more 

than one language: 

Chinese: Alice Guo, 

Morgan Hardin, Qiao

Other seniors, Christopher 

Kuhn, Madeline 

Malueg and Kelly McNulty, 

presented the class gift. 

They served on the Habitat 

for Humanity Leadership 

board, and helped 

build a home with their

years past. 

Alumnus Peter Henry, 

New Trier Class of 1987, 

also spoke as the featured 

alumni speaker. He is the 

dean emeritus of New 

York University’s Leonard 

N. Stern School of Business. 

The youngest person 

to hold the position, he 

assumed the deanship in 

January 2010 and joined 

the NYU Stern Faculty 

as the William R. Berkley 

professor of economics 

and finance, according to 

NYU’s website. 

The addition of a alumni 

speaker at New Trier’s 

commencement began 

three years ago, Dubruvec 

said. Previous speakers 

include former ABC 

news reporter and White 

House correspondent Ann 

Compton and actor Rainn 

Wilson. 

In 2017 and 2018, the 

Winnetka high school’s 

graduation moved to Sears 

Centre Arena in Hoffman 

Estates while Welsh-Ryan 

Arena underwent a major 

remodel. 

Looking forward, Dubravec 

said New Trier’s 

commencement will 

return to Hoffman Estates 

due to the limited 

amount of seats at 

Welsh-Ryan. 

“The new arena is beautiful, 

but we lost some 

seats there,” Dubravec 

said, adding nearly 1,600 

seats were eliminated in 

the project. “It’s somewhat 

of a challenge with 

our families. We didn’t 

anticipate that, so we are 

going back to Sears next 

year.”

Glencoe Historical 

Society 

Contributing Columnist 

At the recent community 

Memorial 

Day program, 

Glencoe honored its gold 

star heroes from all of our 

nation’s conflicts. Today, 

as we reflect on the 75th 

anniversary of the D-Day 

invasion, which laid the 

foundation for the Allied 

victory in World War II, it 

is worth again remembering 

the sacrifices made by 

many young men from 

this community. 

World War II was truly 

a world war, engaging 

people around the globe in 

a fight for democracy and 

human rights. Glencoe, a 

small town of only 6,800 

population in 1942, sent 

many of its citizens to the 

war effort. 

Twenty-seven of them 

did not return, names that 

we read every year in our 

roll of honor. These were 

hometown boys. Most 

of them attended Central 

School and New Trier 

High School. They were 

in the Boy Scouts, prayed 

at the local churches or 

synagogues and participated 

in park district sports. 

Many enlisted in either 

high school or college. All 

served the cause bravely, 

giving their lives for their 

country. 

Most of the Glencoe men 

were in the U.S. Army, the 

U.S. Army Air Corps (the 

precursor to today’s Air 

Force) or in the U.S. Navy. 

But at least one Glencoe 

resident, took a different 

route — enlisting in the 

Royal Canadian Air Force. 

Basil Wilfred Andrews, 

entered the conflict a year 

before his country did. He 

said “the evil of Nazism 

menaced” the United 

States and his way of life. 

Enlisting as a sergeant 

pilot, he went to England 

and continued to fly even 

after a first incident where 

he was thrown from his 

plane. He was promoted 

to flight sergeant and participated 

in cross-channel 

sweeps in the air offense 

against occupied France. 

Overall, he engaged in 

155 operations against 

the Germans and Italians 

and on one occasion was 

reported to have singlehandedly 

taken on a force 

of 24 enemy Messerschmitts. 

Promoted to 

pilot officer, Andrews was 

killed in action in October 

1942. A memorial service 

for him at St. Elisabeth’s 

Church in Glencoe was 

held simultaneously with a 

burial service in Bridgewater, 

Somerset, England. 

Many other Glencoe soldiers 

fought in other operations 

the European theatre 

during the war. Frank Baer 

and his sister Alice lived 

with their aunt at 150 Lake 

Street here in town. Frank 

attended New Trier High 

School but did not finish 

because he enlisted in the 

Army in August 1943 at 

the age of 17. He signed on 

as a member of the United 

States Army Volunteer 

Paratroopers. 

By the end of March 

1944, he had qualified for 

the right to wear the wings 

and boots of a paratrooper 

after making his fifth jump 

— a night jump. By the 

end of the year, he was in 

the European theatre and 

was involved in the Allied 

thrust at Bastogne, France. 

The battle for Bastogne 

was part of the Allied strategy 

to close off the “bulge” 

create by the German Army 

when it attacked massively 

through the Ardennes. 

Bastogne was at the southern 

tip of an Allied pincer 

movement designed to surround 

the German troops 

and cut them off. American 

paratroops were dropped 

into Bastogne as part of the 

strategy. The Americans 

made a heroic stand there, 

and ultimately prevailed 

as the New Year arrived in 

1945. 

Private Baer was killed 

in action at Bastogne. His 

sister, Corporal Alice I 

Baer of the Women’s Army 

Corp. was in Glencoe to 

visit her aunt when she got 

word in February 1945 that 

her brother had been killed 

in action. 

These are just two of 

the many Glenconians 

who fought and died in 

World War II for democracy, 

human dignity and 

the rights and freedom for 

all peoples. As our nation 

commemorates the 75th 

anniversary of one of our 

most important World War 

II battles, take a moment 

to remember our Glencoe 

heroes who gave their 

lives as young men for 

their beliefs. We should be 

proud of them — and the 

small community that they 

came from.

75th anniversary 

Seventy-five years ago 

this week, on June 6, 1944, 

more than 160,000 Allied 

troops took part in history’s 

largest amphibious invasion, 

landing along a 50- 

mile stretch of heavily fortified 

coastline in Normandy, 

France, to press the fight 

against Nazi Germany. 

More than 5,000 ships 

and 13,000 aircraft supported 

the D-Day invasion, 

and by day’s end, the 

launch of “Operation Overlord” 

had secured a foothold 

in Europe. 

More than 4,000 Allied 

soldiers were killed or 

wounded on that day alone, 

but their sacrifice made 

possible the inexorable 

advance of Allied forces 

across Europe to defeat the 

German army.

Loyola students trace family roots in humanitarian outreach 

Hilary Anderson 


Many young people 

spent their school’s recent 

spring break somewhere 

warm basking in the sunshine 

with friends. 

Not Loyola Academy’s 

Ivana Cooper, 16, and 

Marco Signoretto, 14, of 

Wilmette, who are cousins. 

The two instead traveled 

at their own expense to the 

Ljubluski Special Needs 

Rehabilitation Center in 

Bosnia and Hercegovina. 

They brought with them a 

check for $15,176.40 and 

presented it to the Center. 

The money was the result 

of their grassroots efforts 

begun shortly after 

the 2018 holidays to raise 

money for the facility. 

“The Rehabilitation Center 

provides educational, 

therapeutic and vocational 

services to children, teens 

and young adults,” Cooper 

said. “Most residents have 

physical or mental disabilities. 

They range in age 

from about 1 to around 33.” 

What is noteworthy 

about Cooper’s and Signoretto’s 

efforts is that it was 

one of their own choosing, 

not a mandated service 

project by their school. 

There were several reasons 

why both young people 

decided to raise funds 

for the Center. 

“Foremost in their minds 

were the stories they heard 

from their grandparents, 

Karlo and Dragica Karacic, 

who emigrated to America 

from Hercegovina,” said 

Mara Cooper, Ivana’s 

mother who also is Croatian. 

“They have deep family 

roots that triggered a 

need for giving back.” 

“Our grandfather, Karlo 

Dragica, escaped from then 

Communist Bosnia in the 

middle of the night,” Ivana 

Cooper said. “He traveled 

in a type of “underground 

network” to a town in Italy 

where he was placed in an 

immigrant camp for about 

a year. Our grandmother 

escaped, too, but she was 

younger and it was not as 

dangerous.” 

Ivana Cooper’s older 

brother, Dane, also inspired 

her to become involved in 

the needs of others. 

“When my brother was 

a college student, he raised 

funds for an orphanage 

in Cambodia,” she said. 

“I was moved even more 

when I heard about Cambodia’s 

Phymean Noun 

who received CNN’s Hero 

of the Year Award for her 

efforts to save Cambodian 

children she discovered in 

a trash heap. She founded 

a school for them and the 

People’s Improvement Organization. 

It was then I 

decided to ask my cousin, 

Marco, to join me and raise 

money for a similar organization 

and he agreed.” 

In addition to the local 

churches to which the families 

belong — Wilmette’s 

St. Joseph and Sauganash’s 

Queen of All Saints — the 

family is involved in activities 

at St. Jerome’s, a Croatian 

parish on Chicago’s 

South Side. 

They also participate in 

activities at the Croatian 

Cultural Center on 

Chicago’s North Side 

where Cooper does folklore 

dances and plays a Croatian 

instrument, the Tambura, 

similar to a guitar. 

“Through our contacts 

we were able to learn about 

the Rehabilitation Center 

and the needs there,” Cooper 

said. “We got in touch 

with the Center, asked if we 

could do a fundraiser for 

them and of course, they 

needed financial help.” 

The two cousins along 

with other family members 

began asking friends for 

donations. 

“My mom, Jadranka 

Signoretto, and I started 

contacting people,” Marco 

Signoretto said. “We made 

a list of email addresses, 

talked with teachers and 

friends, put information on 

social media and distributed 

fliers.” 

Cooper took the effort 

even more personally. 

“I have two jobs and was 

saving my money to buy a 

new soft top for my car,” 

she said. “I decided the Rehabilitation 

Center could 

Wilmette’s Marco Signoretto, 14, and his cousin, 

Ivana Cooper, 16, both students at Loyola Academy, 

work with students at the Ljubluski Special Needs 

Rehabilitation Center in Bosnia and Hercegovina. 

Photos submitted 

put my money to better use 

for its residents. It was not 

a hard decision. We have so 

many resources here where 

we live. The residents have 

so little.” 

The cousins’ fundraiser 

proved successful. 

“Our friends and their 

families were so generous,” 

Signoretto said. “This was 

my first time doing such a 

big project. It was kind of 

overwhelming. Those who 

helped us raise the money 

were so nice and caring.”

5B2F Akira Sushi comes ‘home’ to Wilmette 

Alyssa Groh 

Contributing Editor 

After closing 153 Akira 

Sushi in Wilmette and taking 

some time off, it brings 

tears to Kelly Yang’s eyes 

to have a restaurant in Wilmette 

again. 

5B2F Akira Sushi 

opened under a new name 

and new location, but has 

the same original owner as 

153 Akira Sushi. 

153 Akira Sushi was 

owned by Yang, who 

eventually sold it to a new 

owner. Shortly after, due 

to lease negotiations, 153 

Akira had to close down. 

After taking approximately 

a year and a half 

off and spending time with 

her young daughters, Yang 

found a new location in 

Wilmette for another restaurant. 

5B2F Akira Sushi, 143 

Skokie Blvd., Wilmette, officially 

opened on April 30. 

Yang said she was waiting 

to find a location in 

Wilmette because it is 

where she calls home. 

“We really missed Wilmette 

and we really missed 

our customers,” said Yang, 

who is a Wilmette resident. 

While this restaurant is a 

bit different than 153 Akira 

Sushi, it still offers Japanese 

dishes. 

Seeing residents return 

to her restaurant with excitement 

to learn she was 

back made it all worth it for 

Yang. 

“This is a community, it 

moves my heart to see old 

customers come back that 

are happy to see us,” she 

said. 

For Yang, her customers 

are more than customers — 

they are family and friends. 

Back at 153 Akira Sushi, 

Yang said she and her 

customers would tell each 

other about their lives and 

be supportive when times 

were rough, while also celebrating 

accomplishments. 

“Our customer relationships 

are very important 

to us,” Yang said. “I want 

to rebuild the relationship 

with new and old customers 

in a different location 

with a new concept. This 

location is a restart for us.” 

One of the biggest 

changes between the two 

restaurants, is the new location 

is much smaller than 

the old one. 5B2F Akira 

Sushi has small window 

and bar seating, and is not a 

full service restaurant. 

And while there are items 

on the menu at 5B2F Akira 

Sushi that weren’t on the 

menu at 153 Akira Sushi, 

guests can expect the same 

type of cuisine and quality.

5B2F Akira Sushi may 

be in a much smaller location,

from small. 

The menu contains hot

poke bowls, home-made 

ramen, 24 specialty rolls, 

14 classic rolls, nine vegetable 

rolls and more. 

A team of 22nd Century 

Media editors stopped 

into 5B2F Akira Sushi to 

see what all the hype was 

about. 

We started with a hot and 

a cold appetizer. First up 

was the asparagus beef roll

beef, which was rolled 

around asparagus and 

broiled in a teriyaki sauce. 

We also tried two items 

from the cold appetizers, 

the hamachi ponzu ($12) 

and tuna tartare ($12). The 

hamachi ponzue is very 

thinly sliced yellowtail 

topped with jalapeno and 

Akira’s special sauce. 

One of our favorite items 

was the tuna tartare, which 

is also a trademark of 5B2F 

Akira Sushi. This appetizer 

consists of towers of tuna 

accompanied with crispy 

wontons. 

Known for its sushi, we 

couldn’t wait to dive into a 

specialty roll, the menage a

is considered a spicy roll.

Athlete of the Month 

Frankel 

earns Giant 

honor 

Nick Frazier 

Contributing Sports Editor 

A magical postseason 

run helped Jeremy Frankel 

stand out this month. 

Frankel, a senior pitcher 

on the Highland Park 

baseball team, was named 

22nd Century Media Athlete 

of the Month. He’s 

the second Giant to win 

the award in 2019. 

Thanks to the efforts 

of Frankel on the mound, 

Highland Park shocked 

everyone en route to winning 

a regional title. Frankel 

got the start in a 4-2 

win over second-seeded 

Stevenson in the regional 

semifinal. 

Frankel won this 

month’s voting with 120 

votes. 

Voting lasted from May 

10-25. The Athlete of the 

Month contest for athletes 

selected in the month of 

May gets underway on 

June 10 and will end on 

June 25. Vote at GlencoeAnchor.com.

New Trier downs OPRF in state’s third-place match 

Bill McLean 


New Trier’s Connor Ppochetti prepares to send the ball back over the net Saturday, 

June 1, in Hoffman Estates. David Kraus/22nd Century Media 

It electrified New Trier’s 

boys volleyball team 

before every match this 

spring. 

Every Trevian but senior 

outside hitter Connor Pochetti 

would huddle on a 

court and create an opening. 

Pochetti then would 

rush through the gap and 

pop straight up, his 37- 

inch vertical jump in the 

middle of all that humanity 

straining teammates’ 

necks and inciting waves 

of whoops. 

“That’s one of the things 

I’ll always remember 

about this group — the 

way Connor would fire all 

of us up before we competed,” 

New Trier coach 

Sue Ellen Haak said after 

her boys defeated Oak 

Park-River Forest 29-31, 

25-22, 25-21 in the thirdplace 

match at the state 

tournament at Hoffman 

Estates High School on 

Saturday, June 1. 

“His jump, along with 

the reactions to it, symbolized 

our team’s tremendous 

attitude and enthusiasm 

all season.” 

Pochetti launched himself 

again at a critical 

juncture in the second set 

against OPRF. 

But instead of rocketing 

due north, he dived 

abruptly to his right for a 

tremendous sideline dig to 

extend a point that New 

Trier would win on a kill by 

junior right-side hitter Peter 

Brown (16 kills, six digs, 

four blocks, three aces). 

A joyous Pochetti 

screamed and pumped 

his fists as he joined his 

huddling teammates for 

a boisterous on-court celebration. 

The point gave New Trier 

(32-8) a 19-17 lead. The 

advantage grew to 20-17 

on a kill from senior middle 

Eli Lieberman before 

the Huskies (35-6) struck 

for three straight points. 

Back-and-forth it went. 

New Trier was only five 

OPRF points away from 

having to settle for fourth 

place at state for the second 

year in a row. 

Seven points later, a 

resounding kill by NT junior 

OH Colin Heath (11 

kills, seven digs) clinched 

the middle set (25-22) for 

a program that started its 

sixth consecutive Elite 

Eight appearance with a 

three-set defeat of St. Rita 

in a state quarterfinal on 

May 31. 

Lieberman (six kills, 

four blocks) elevated for 

back-to-back blocks in the 

decisive set, with the second 

denial upping NT’s 

lead to 11-8. 

“We were a defenseminded 

team this year, and 

we took pride in our defense,” 

Pochetti said. 

But Brown’s offense 

certainly came in handy, 

particularly in the latter 

part of the third set. After 

OPRF — which fell to 

New Trier in three sets, on 

May 4 — won four-of-five 

points to cut New Trier’s 

lead to 16-15, Brown 

smacked a kill. His slowpaced, 

well-placed kill to a 

deep corner gave his club a 

match point, at 24-20. 

And Brown’s final kill, 

on another match point, 

secured the Trevians’ first 

third-place showing at 

state. 

“Those two guys 

[Brown and Heath], what 

a duo,” Pochetti said. 

“Watch out for them next 

year. Insane. They’ll be insane 

as seniors.” 

New Trier senior outside 

hitter Alden Schatz — a tricaptain, 

with twin Aaron 

Schatz, the Trevians’ starting 

libero, and Lieberman 

— had to sit and wear street 

clothes for most of the 

2019 season. A severe back 

injury limited him to action 

in the first two matches. 

But ask any of Alden 

Schatz’s coaches or teammates, 

and you’d hear 

nothing but praise for his 

relentless leadership and 

infectious enthusiasm during 

matches. He essentially 

served as an assistant 

coach, pulling down 

the approximate salary of 

a Miami-based snowplow 

driver. 

“Positivity is what I 

preached all season,” said 

Schatz, whose brother 

amassed a match-high 15 

digs against OPRF. “Our 

team was a ‘familyhood’. 

Each player knew he was 

playing for the guys next 

to him, not for himself.” 

Trevians senior setter 

Zach Salberg capped his 

superb weekend with a 

35-assist effort against the 

Huskies. In New Trier’s 

25-14, 25-23 state semifinal 

loss to Glenbard West 

earlier in the day, he stood 

at a baseline, set to serve 

with the score knotted at 

7 in the second set. New 

Trier won the next three 

points, Salberg’s ace on 

the second point highlighting 

the promising stretch. 

Glenbard West called 

a timeout, regrouped and 

won five of the next seven 

points. The Hilltoppers 

went up 17-16 after a quartet 

of tie scores and would 

not face another deficit in 

the rematch of the 2016 

state championship (won 

by Glenbard West). 

NT junior middle Emmett 

Burnside contributed 

three blocks in the thirdplace 

match, and junior 

outside hitter Patrick Condon 

— who had recorded 

only 12 kills, one assist and 

24 digs during the regular 

season — provided a kill, 

an assist and three digs on 

the big stage June 1. 

“It’s not easy playing 

for third place at state,” 

said Haak, who cracked a 

bright smile and hugged 

her assistant coaches right 

after the end of the thirdplace 

contest. “The teams 

are usually disappointed 

they’re not playing for the 

title. They’re both usually 

exhausted, too. We kept 

gritting it out, grinding 

and grinding, going for 

every ball, and we stayed 

focused. 

“I’m proud of our guys, 

really proud. They fought 

hard.” 

New Trier’s third-place 

finish was the program’s 

fifth top-four showing at 

state and third in the last 

four seasons. Haak, owner 

of an impressive 519-168 

(.755) record after 18 years 

at the school, guided the 

Trevians to state runner-up 

finishes in 2007 and 2016 

and that fourth-place trophy 

last spring. 

Former Trevians boys 

volleyball coach Debra 

Kirch helmed NT’s state 

championship squad in 

1995. 

Marist (40-2) downed 

Glenbard West 25-21, 25- 

23 in the state championship 

match on June 1.

with Fallon Warshauer 

The New Trier senior is a 

three-year member of the

What’s one thing

teacher. Every day I spend 

an hour and a half volunteering 

in a fourth grade 

classroom at my old elementary 

school.

Soccer Team 22. 

Fourth Quarter 

The three announce the 

Coach and Player of the 

Year. 

What’s your greatest 

skill? 

My greatest skill is probably 

my ability to laugh 

at myself. I make a lot of 

mistakes and I definitely 

have some embarrassing 

moments, but I always try 

and just laugh it off. 

If you could travel 

anywhere in the 

world, where would it 

be and why? 

I have always wanted to 

go to the Galapagos. My 

parents went there before I 

was born and it sounds like 

such an incredible place. 

If you could have one 

meal for the rest of 

your life, what would 

it be and from where 

or who would make 

it? 

My mom is an amazing 

cook, and she makes the 

best lasagna, so if I could 

only have one thing for 

the rest of my life, I would 

definitely choose that. 

If you won the lottery, 

what would you do 

with the money? 

I would donate most of 

it to children’s charities, 

but I would save some for 

traveling. 

What’s the best part 

about being a New 

Trier athlete? 

The fans. We have the 

most amazing fans. Every 

game our stadium is filled 

with parents and students 

and they make games so 

much fun. 

What’s been your 

favorite thing at New 

Trier? 

New Trier has introduced 

me to all of my 

best friends. Throughout 

the past four years I have 

made friends that I know 

I will have for the rest of 

my life. 

If you could play 

22nd CENTURY MEDIA FILE PHOTO 

another sport, what 

would it be and why? 

When I went to overnight 

camp I always loved 

horseback riding, so if I 

didn’t play soccer I would 

have loved to do that. 

Who is your dream 

dinner guest? 

Jennifer Aniston. I am 

obsessed with the show 

Friends, so I would love to 

meet her. 

What’s the hardest 

part about playing 

soccer? 

Soccer is a very physical 

sport, but mental toughness 

is also extremely important. 

If you’re down by 

a goal, you need to stay 

positive and believe in 

yourself and your teammates 

if you want to turn 

the game around.

Girls Soccer Player of the Year 

Weaver brings home yearly award 


Sports Editor 

Girls soccer Coach of the Year 

Burnside, New Trier’s 

consistency leads to yearly award 

It would have been easy 

for Emma Weaver to play 

for a developmental academy 

during her high school 

career. Instead the junior 

chose to play for her high 

school, New Trier, and has 

flourished since the day 

she stepped on the field as 

a freshman on the varsity 

squad. 

“I knew when I got offered 

to go back to Academy 

I knew the day I got offered, 

that I didn’t want to 

accept it because at NTGS 

(New Trier girls soccer) it’s 

family to me,” she said, “I 

felt like if it didn’t do, if I 

did accept the Academy 

thing I would regret it. That 

was my biggest fear. 

“And I didn’t want to 

live in regret, going to the 

games and being ‘Oh I 

wish I was out there, I wish 

I was playing.’ I didn’t 

want to let my teammates 

and my coaches down and 

I think that says a lot about 

the program and the individual 

players because 

that’s what kind of struck 

through me towards high 

school because Academy, 

yeah competitive, and better 

games but it’s the fun 

part that what motivates 

me and I feel like it motivates 

me in the off season 

because I work harder because 

I have something to 

look forward to.” 

After a season that saw 

the junior score 33 goals, 

she was named 22nd Century 

Media’s Girls Soccer 

Player of the Year. 

In a year that saw the 

Trevians lose three players 

who combined to score 

over 40 goals, Weaver was 

looked upon to become 

more of a scoring threat. 

And not only did she, she 

embraced it in stride.

Player of the Year. 22ND CENTURY MEDIA FILE Photo 

“Nicole Kaspi was one 

of a kind, like Sydney 

(Parker), Whitney (Hoban), 

all those players were people 

that I looked up to so I 

needed to fill that role even 

as a passer, which is also as 

a leader on the team,” she 

said. “Everyone is stepping 

up, the freshman, the 

sophomores, the juniors, 

everyone’s filling roles 

which has made it easy because 

of the loss of players 

we’ve had. 

“I think we had such 

high expectations and being 

part of varsity New Trier, 

that’s a pressure actually 

served as motivation for 

me at least. Because I want 

to prove people wrong 

when they say ‘you’re not 

as good this year, you lost 

these players.’ It’s like, no, 

you recreate a team that’s 

amazing every year. That’s 

just what (coach Jim) Burnside 

does.” 

Weaver, who had primarily 

played the midfield 

position previously, was 

thrust into the forward role 

when the team played St. 

Ignatius on April 2. 

For Burnside, moving 

Weaver up to more of an 

attacking role was a move 

he didn’t hesitate on. 

“Not for a second,” he 

said. “It’s not what she’s 

going to do, it’s more 

about what the people 

around her are going to do, 

“She takes up so much of 

the other team’s focus that 

if her teammates work hard 

and get in the right spots, 

she’s going to get them the 

ball.” 

For players who are as 

skilled as Weaver, it’d be 

easy for them to just let the 

game come to them and not 

have to really put a lot of 

work into their game. 

Not Weaver, however. 

This offseason, she spent 

four months getting herself 

to be faster, quicker, have 

better speed, so she can be 

the best player she can be, 

even if she is hard on herself. 

“I love to watch film with 

him (Burnside),” she said. 

“He gives me great advice 

and when there’s teams 

that are now putting two or 

three marks on me, I have 

to be prepared for that and 

know I can’t always go to a 

certain foot, I can’t always 

shoot there, because teams 

are going to expect that so 

I think his teaching strategy 

when I watch film is what 

helps me on the field.” 

Weaver and the Trevians 

played in their sixth 

consecutive state final four 

this weekend and took third 

place.

New Trier’s Jim Burnside is this year’s Girls Soccer 

Coach of the Year. photo SUBMITTED 

It’d be fair to make the 

argument that New Trier’s 

Jim Burnside is one of the, 

if not the, greatest girls 

soccer coaches in IHSA 

girls soccer history. His 

now-529 career victories 

are rivaled by only Quincy 

Notre Dame’s Mark Longo 

and his six career state 

titles are the most by any 

coach in state history. 

This year Burnside led 

his squad to an unprecedented 

sixth consecutive 

trip downstate and for that, 

he was named 22nd Century 

Media’s Coach of the 

Year. 

With the amount of soccer 

talent in the state, it’s difficult 

to have a team make it 

to the state’s final four once, 

much less six consecutive 

times and 13 times overall. 

So how does New Trier 

continually make the annual 

trip to Naperville? 

“The kids constantly buy 

A 22ND CENTURY MEDIA PRODUCTION 

into the idea of working 

hard, doing the little things, 

and playing as a team,” 

Burnside said. “Our kids 

are willing to buy into what 

we’re asking them to do.

New Trier wins first state title in 11 years in style 

Neil Milbert, Freelance Reporter 

The New Trier girls went 

into the lacrosse season with an 

awareness that they had some 

unfinished business to attend to 

after being beaten by Hinsdale 

Central in the 2018 IHSA state 

championship game. 

The teams engaged in a rematch 

under the lights at Hinsdale 

Central on June 1 and the 

Trevians took care of business. 

Avenging last year’s loss, the 

Trevians decisively defeated the 

Red Devils 12-4. 

“I was really feeling it,” said 

Annie Thompson, who acted 

as the catalyst by scoring the 

game’s first goal with 84 seconds 

elapsed and adding two more in 

the first half when the Trevians 

got all the goals they needed to 

get the job done by gaining a 7-2 

lead that would prove to be insurmountable. 

“Our ultimate goal was winning 

this and we knew we were 

going to do it. We beat Loyola 

Academy (in the sectional championship 

game) and that gave us 

a lot of motivation. We had to 

finish the job.” 

During the regular season perennial 

power Loyola was the 

only team to defeat New Trier 

(22-1-2), scoring an 11-6 victory 

on April 15. The ties came 

against opponents from Ohio 

and Michigan. 

In the last game of the regular 

season the Trevians downed Hinsdale 

Central 15-9, putting more 

self confidence in their memory 

bank going into the playoffs. 

“This was in the back of our 

minds the whole season,” said 

Charley Meier, who contributed 

three goals to the even 

more compelling conquest in 

“I brought my wife home from the 

hospital after surgery— 

Bratschi Plumbing quickly installed 

safety grab bars without a lot of fuss!”

the state title showdown. 

Also having a significant input 

on offense were Lucy Murray 

(two goals and two assists), 

Claudia Shevitz (one goal and 

three assists) and Emma Merk 

(one goal and one assist). Olivia 

Zaban and Macy Zaban each 

added a goal to the cause. 

“We knew we had to control the 

ball and control possession,” New 

Trier coach Pete Collins said. 

The Trevians accomplished 

both objectives. They outshot 

Hinsdale Central 26-12 and won 

12 draws to the Red Devils’ six. 

Katie Busch excelled in the 

draw department and Kate Burnham 

played a steady game in 

goal, stopping five shots. 

This is the second season that 

lacrosse has been an IHSA-sanctioned 

sport. The Trevians’ last 

state title came in 2008 when the 

Illinois Women’s Lacrosse Association 

was the governing body. 

The icing on Collins’ victory 

cake was his selection as IHSA 

Coach of the Year. 

“It’s because of these kids,” he 

said of his honor. “They are a joy 

to coach. 

“They have a rope they’ve 

been holding all season and what 

it means to them is if one of them 

is falling someone is going to be 

there to hold them up.” 

Prefacing the long-awaited 

rematch with Hinsdale Central 

(17-5) in the final was a spinetingling 

15-14 victory over 

Glenbrook South in the semifinals 

the previous night. 

GBS battled back from a 13-6 

deficit to tie the score with 4:43 

to play but Murray came through 

in the clutch. When she charged 

through a crowd in front of the 

net to take a point-blank shot 

goalie Annika Newell met her 

head-on. Murray went down and 

her shot pinged off the goal post 

but Newell was sent off to serve 

a cross-checking penalty. 

With an open net beckoning, 

Murray scored the game-winning 

goal on a free position shot. 

“We were focused too much 

on this game,” said Meier, on the 

narrow semifinal win after the 

title game.

Boys lacrosse 

New Trier overcomes long 

weather delay in state-title win 

Girls soccer 

Neil Milbert

1st-and-3 

THREE TEAMS OF THE 

WEEK. 

1. New Trier boys 

lacrosse (above). 

The Trevians 

defeated Warren 

16-4 to win the 

boys lacrosse 

title. The teams 

faced a nearly 

three-hour 

weather delay 

during the game. 

2. New Trier girls 

lacrosse. The 

Trevians won 

their first state 

title in 11 years 

by defeating host 

Hinsdale Central 

12-4. 

3. New Trier boys 

volleyball. After 

taking fourth 

place in the state 

last season, the 

Trevs took third 

in 2019 after 

beating OPRF for 

third place. 

This time around the 

New Trier boys lacrosse 

team wasn’t about to settle 

for second. 

Not even two cautionary 

lightning delays totaling 

more than two-and-a-half 

hours daunted the 2018 

runners-up in the IHSA 

state championship game at 

Hinsdale Central on June 1. 

The Trevians shook 

down the thunder by wiping 

out Warren 16-4. 

“We’re the best team 

in the state and we played 

like it,” said senior attacker 

Henry Scherb, who led 

the onslaught by scoring 

five goals and assisting on 

three. 

“We had a tough game 

against Neuqua Valley (two 

days before in the semifinals). 

Having that game 

was a wake up. We came 

out ready to dominate — 

we came out patient and we 

came out poised.” 

Last year the Trevians 

lost to Loyola Academy in 

the state title game but this 

year they ousted the Ramblers 

in the sectional final 

after losing to them in the 

regular season. 

According to senior 

midfielder Gavin Randle, 

the Trevians went into the 

game with the mindset that 

underdog Warren was “a 

Loyola, a top team.” 

“It was my last game and 

Henry Freedman takes a shot on goal during the IHSA 

boys lacrosse state title game Saturday, June 1, in 

Hinsdale. Carlos Alvarez/22nd Century Media 

I gave it everything I had,” 

Randle said. 

Although Warren (18-2) 

took the field with an impressive 

win-loss record it 

was misleading because the 

Blue Devils hadn’t faced 

the high quality competition 

that New Trier (20-5) 

had encountered and the 

game quickly became a 

mismatch. 

The Trevians stormed to 

a 10-0 first half lead and increased 

it to 15-1 in the second 

half before coach Tom 

Herrala sent in his bench 

brigade and Warren scored 

three straight late-game 

goals, two of which came 

from the Blue Devils’ biggest 

guns, Nate Crawford 

and Kellen Martin. 

“We took it to them in 

every facet,” Herrala said. 

“They played a zone and 

we were prepared for it. 

After we got the lead they 

went into a man-to-man 

and they couldn’t match up 

with us.” 

Joining Scherb in the 

goal-fest were Henry 

Freedman with four, Randle 

with three and Brian 

Sitzer, Johnny Hackett, Ollie 

Montgomery and Trent 

Kadin with one apiece. 

New Trier outshot the 

Blue Devils 40-13, won 15 

of 23 faceoffs, controlled 

13 of 21 draws and latched 

onto 29 ground balls to the 

losers’ 13. 

Splitting the goaltending 

were Cooper Yaccino 

(three saves) and Brian 

Dolby (one save). 

To get to the title game 

the Trevians had to get past 

upset-minded Neuqua Valley 

in the semis and that 

entailed holding off a late 

rally to prevail 8-6.

Sports Editor 

Every team’s goal is 

to end the season with a 

win. In most states, that 

would mean you’re the 

state champion. In Illinois, 

however, if you lose in the 

state semifinals, you get 

the luxury of playing in a 

third-place game, allowing 

one more chance to end 

the season with a win. 

For a team like New 

Trier, which had been to 

the last five state championship 

games, this doesn’t 

seem to be ideal, but it was 

the situation the Trevians 

were facing after dropping 

a heartbreaker to Barrington 

the night before. 

It would have been easy 

for the Trevians to mope 

and come out discouraged, 

but they did the opposite, 

easing to a 2-0 win over 

Lyons in the third-place 

match Saturday, June 1, at 

North Central College. 

“We came back to the 

hotel and our coach basically 

said ‘you can be upset 

about it tonight, but tomorrow 

morning, you’re going 

to wake up and you’re going 

to play your last game 

together,’” New Trier’s 

Heidi Bianucci said. 

The Trevians have been 

led offensively by Emma 

Weaver all season and 

the standout junior shone 

brightly on the biggest 

stage yet again. Weaver 

scored her first goal when 

she collected a deflected 

pass, turned and put in an 

upper-90 shot, giving the 

Trevians the lead with 16 

minutes, 25 seconds left 

before halftime. 

Weaver added a second 

goal right before the half.
