Titans' Sports Roundup: Help on the Way for Boys Cross Country

Boys Cross Country: placed 15th out of 27 teams at the Wauconda Invitational last weekend. Sam Stanek was the Titans’ best runner, coming in 31st place with a time of 16:51 over three miles. Brad Berg (16:57) followed closely and finished in 38th.

The Titans will get a boost starting next week when sophomore David O’Gara gets bumped up to the varsity level. For the second straight week O’Gara won the frosh / soph race, completing the 2.5-mile course in a fast 13:25. Alex Jackman will also be moved up as the sophomore finished 17th in the frosh / soph race.

Girls Volleyball: Glenbrook South had a rough go in the Lyons Quad on Sept. 9, losing three matches, all in two games. Lyons, which won the quad, defeated Glenbrook South 25-13, 25-17 and the Titans fell Nazareth 25-13, 25-18. Their closest match came against Normal Community, but the Titans still couldn’t force a third game, losing 25-16, 25-18.

The three losses dropped Glenbrook South to 5-8 on the season and came after the Titans had defeated Glenbrook North 25-18, 25-17.

Senior Lisa Mahon leads the team with 43 kills through the team’s first 10 matches. Senior outside hitter Rebecca Tiedmann has put down 34 kills. Abby Watkins leads the team defensively with 67 digs and senior setter Carson Weaver has tallied 156 assists.

The Titans host Evanston in a CSL South matchup on Sept. 13.

Girls Golf: The Titans lost a close match to Maine South 178-188 last week at the Glenview Park District Golf Club. Tammy Song (45), Dambi Kim (46), Madison Gately (48) and Rachel Kim (49) were Glenbrook South’s top scorers.

Maine South’s Leia Atas took home medalist honors with a 42.

Boys Soccer: split a pair of games last week, beating Maine East 5-0 and falling to Prospect 2-0. The Titans host Niles West and travel to Evanston for a pair of CSL South matchups this week.

Football: Glenbrook south got a big 28-14 victory over Glenbrook North on Friday. Kevin Schroeder reminded people of John Strickland’s dominant running games last season as the senior rushed for more than 200 yards.

The Titans (2-1) will face Maine East on Sept. 16 and likely will head into conference play at 3-1. That’s good news considering that the CSL South again will have several tough teams. Maine South hasn’t lost a conference game in a decade and New Trier and Evanston both look like teams that are hitting their stride.
