Benet will play St. Ignatius on Sunday morning in the IHSLA B Lacrosse Cup at Toyota Park. This is the Redwings doing a rendition of the school song after their 13-3 semifinal win over Mundelein on Thursday.

The clip posted earlier this week shows Waubonsie Valley senior Sean Wiggan placing fourth in the 800-meter run at the IHSA Class AA boys track and field championships on May 24 in Charleston. Wiggan ran a 1:53.28. Benet senior Alex Gasick was 11th in 1:56.21.
This video posted Friday is the Naperville North entry into the IHSA Class AA boys track and field state championships for the 800-meter relay. Bobby Casiello, David Schuman, Jimmy Lee and Nick Mlady ran a 1:30.14 in the prelims on May 23, but it wasn't good enough for Saturday.
ps56K also posted clips of the Huskies at the sectional on 5/16, for those with a hankering to see North place fifth in the 800 relay and not qualify for state in the 400 relay.
This clip is a highlight reel of the Naperville North boys lacrosse season set to some angst-ridden music. The Huskies went 7-1 in the DuPage II Conference, thanks to first team all-conference selections Joe Krentz (attack) and Pat Bassett (midfield), and second teamers Casey Domek (defense) and Ben Domyancic (attack).
If you ever wanted to hear Candace Parker belt out her alma mater's school song, here you go. This on-demand performance at a Los Angeles Sparks function shows the Naperville native displaying how important it is to: A) always have on stunna shades so you don't have to look into the eyes of this obviously odd character with the mic, and B) not forget the words to your school song. Especially the "woo!" part.
This clip claims to be the final point of Benet's regional championship loss to Oswego on Wednesday night. It does appear to be shot at Oswego East, so OK.
Is that Green Day? Naperville Central's Keith Lage won two state titles and four total medals at the boys gymnastics championships last week. This is how it looks and sounds with choppy audio. Or is that my computer?
This television interview that Candace Parker did with "Sports Nite" the week of Tennessee's game at DePaul this past season was posted on Tuesday. Since Parker did not play in the first half of that game because of a team curfew violation, The Heat Index wonders if the Naperville Central grad already knew she would be benched when she did this interview.
"Elle's relay race" shows Naperville North senior Elle Metz running her leg of the 3,200-meter relay in the IHSA Class AA girls track and field prelims on Friday in Charleston.
Metz, Erica Schertz, Michelle Stratton and Jamie Schertz finished fourth in their heat and qualified for the finals at 9:27 flat.
UPDATE: The Huskies finished ninth on Saturday in 9:27.15 just ahead of 10th-place Neuqua Valley. Dana Wehan, Megan Taylor, Megan Hynes and Sara Hartley crossed in 9:31.44.
Take a look at the WNBA's adverts. I saw them thanks to the SportingBlog, but you can see them at WNBA.com or YouTube as well.
The campaign is called "Expect Great." Other players in the campaign are Cheryl Ford and Tamika Catchings.
Naperville's Parker says this in the 30 second spot.
"I'm sorry, but you couldn't pay me to watch women's basketball. Nothing exciting ever happens. ...
"Look at the WNBA. The league has stayed the same for 10 years. There's no new blood....
"What kind of future does that league have? None that I can see."
At this point, I'm worried about CP3. She's gone all goofy. I mean, I'm the one who wrote the WNBA is doomed, but this is scarry stuff for the No. 1 overall pick to be saying.
That's when the words splash up on the screen to end this madness.
She wouldn't say that. Would You?
Get it? Man that is clever.
