It's interesting that the biggest stories in the Beacon News coverage area right now are Newark and Rosary girls teams and the Somonauk boys basketball teams. I'll be honest - I never heard of Newark or Somonauk until I started working here last summer, and I thought all Rosary had was volleyball and swimming.

I may disagree with the IHSA's belief that "everybody gets a trophy" - but I do like the fact that these small schools get a little more time to shine than usual.

After all, there are about 35 to 40 cities in this state I've still never heard of.
