The North Suburban Conference Prairie Division softball and baseball titles appear to be headed in the same direction -- north.
In softball, Antioch has total command of the league race and surely will represent the division in the NSC Championship Game.
In baseball, Lakes High's program is on fire, and has won 11 straight. While the Eagles have a danger game against powerful Deerfield today, the Eagles clearly could be a factor when the IHSA playoffs begin and they drop down to compete at the Class 3A level.

Not taking anything away from what Lakes has done thus far but they have yet to play Wauconda, Grant, or Vernon Hills in division play. Their regional features Grayslake Central and Wauconda meaning they will have to beat a No. 1 pitcher along the way. No doubt they have talent and a good coach but let's see how the division plays out first...not really a "drop down to 3A" since that's where their divisional opponents will be come playoff time.
Lakes took care of Wauconda's two aces. Today and tomorrow will take care of Grant. Vernon Hills is not looking to great either.
A little crow for me thus far...Time will tell. They have played well in a tough stretch this week. Wauconda twice and Grant once already. 3 more hard divisional games in 4 days will tell the tale.
