Threloff, Dudzinski McDonald's All-American nominees

Posted on February 5, 2010 - 12:08:54

DeKalb High senior Jordan Threloff and Kaneland senior Dave Dudzinski are two of 32 Chicagoland nominees for the McDonald's All-America High School basketball game.

Threloff, Dudzinski and the other nominees will be honored at next Wednesday night's Chicago Bulls game. There are typically between 1,500 and 1,800 boys nominees in the country each year and the process of narrowing that list down is well on its way to completion. The final list of 20 players will be announced next Thursday (Feb. 11).

Threloff said that his AAU teammate, Lenzelle Smith, will also be honored Wednesday.

"It's an honor," Threloff said. "And it's a surprise."

Thorp makes history in lopsided win

Posted on February 4, 2010 - 21:46:54

It took Jenna Thorp just 18 seconds to score her first points against Providence St. Mel on Thursday night and become the Hinckley-Big Rock girls basketball team's all-time leading scorer.

Her team ended up winning 75-9 as the girls have now won 26 consecutive home games. That streak will stand until at least next season.

The Royals start the playoffs at 6 p.m. Tuesday against Westminster Christian or Mooseheart at the Class 1A Indian Creek Regional.

The Northern Illinois signee scored 12 points in the win and now has 1,568 career points while 1998 grad Sarah Hunt is now second in the H-BR scoring books with 1,556.

H-BR girls home finale rescheduled

Posted on February 1, 2010 - 12:33:56

Tonight's Hinckley-Big Rock girls basketball game with Providence St. Mel has been rescheduled for 7:15 p.m. Thursday.

An issue with transportation for St. Mel caused the postponement.

That means H-BR senior Jenna Thorp will have to wait until Thursday for another shot at becoming the school's top all-time scorer. She is currently tied for first with 1998 grad Sarah Hunt at 1,556 career points.

Genoa-Kingston senior pole vaulter Haley Fischer will sign to join the Ashford University women's track and field team, according to Ashford coach Chris Adams in a news release.

Fischer also played volleyball for two years, serving as a co-captain as a freshman, while also participating in cheerleading for the Cogs.
 
“I’m really excited to hopefully start a strong tradition here,” she said. “I really enjoyed my visit and I enjoy the community; it feels a lot like my high school.”
 
The daughter of John and Taunya Fischer, Haley intends to pursue her degree in Sports Management at Ashford.

“We’re excited to add depth in an event that will help get points on the board as we develop our program,” Adams said. “Haley and Liz [Garrison of Erie] come from quality programs and they’re state qualifiers. We’re looking for them to adapt at the collegiate level to make an immediate impact as incoming freshmen next year.”
