Big goals: Mac Camardo's hot bat has Buffalo Grove aiming for state
Chicago Tribune, May 7, 2018
Mac Camardo is used to the questions. By now, the Buffalo Grove senior first baseman expects to be asked about his large frame, especially when he’s playing baseball. At 6-foot-6 and 240 pounds, Camardo is larger than most high school tight ends, but the quiet two-sport athlete hasn’t played tackle football in his life. Still, the questions come from everyone. Even umpires. Read Story

IHSA bass fishing: A recap and notes from sectionals, delayed to Monday UPDATED
Chicago Sun-Times, May 8, 2018
Tyler Lubbat, an All-American , became the first Chicago-area high school bass fisherman to qualify for state in bass fishing all four years of high school. He’s one of a very few statewide to quality all four years. [UPDATED] Lubbat just messaged that he is All-American again this year and will not be able to attend state because it conflicts with All-American fishing stuff in Texas during the state finals on May 18-19 at Carlyle Lake. [UPDATED] This will be the 10th state finals held by the Illinois High School Association. In 2017, Lubbat notched another piece of history when he paced the Bison as Buffalo Grove became the first Chicago-area team to win state in bass fishing.
Well, on Monday, Lubbat led the Bison to the title at the Chain O’Lakes sectional with 11 pounds. Crystal Lake Central was second with 9.74. Read Story
