[NOV. 13, 2000]  Their opponents may have been taller and the schools they came from bigger, but no team played with bigger hearts and more class at Saturday’s State Class AA Volleyball State Tournament than the LCHS Lady Railers. And when it was all over, the virtually unknown and mostly unheralded Lady Railers proudly carried the fourth-place trophy off the floor of Redbird Arena and shared it with their fans. It was a classy ending from a classy group of young women.

In Saturday’s first game the Lady Railers faced eventual state champion Chicago Mother McAuley. I was sure, with such a daunting foe ahead of them, that I would see a nervous and tight Lincoln team come on the floor for pre-match warm-ups. What I saw instead was the Lady Railers warming up by laughing and playing games like tag and grab-the-towel on the floor of Redbird Arena. This lighthearted pre-match scene was completed by the Lincoln fans singing the school song (without the band) and also getting the whole arena involved in a human wave. It was the stuff high school athletics needs much more of — perspective and fun.

But things got serious quickly as Game 1 of this match turned out to be an intense battle to the end. The game began with five successive side-outs, and the score remained 0-0 as each team’s defense refused to break. Then Lincoln’s amazing sophomore Kari McFadden stepped to the service line and, with the help of two tough blocks from Kristina Cook, took the Railers to a 3-0 lead. It was a lead they would not relinquish until the midpoint of Game 1. During that early game battle, Lincoln’s Darcy White put on a spectacular performance at the net. Darcy repeatedly slammed kills to stuff the McAuley offense. Darcy’s totals for the match were nine kills and 8 points. When the Railers weren’t killing, they were using a soft dink or a well-placed tip, by Kelli Gleason and others, to win points.

Then came the 8-8 point of the game. Primarily behind the serving of Katie Kozak and the net play of their tall front line, McAuley fought to a 14-8 advantage. But the Railers weren’t about to cave in. Darcy White took the ball at the service line and, with the help of the rest of the Railers, including a kill by Ashley Boyer, the scoreboard read 11-14. McAuley called timeout. A long service by Darcy White combined with the two successive kills by McAuley, and Game 1 went to McAuley.

The second game of the match ended 15-4, but the score was neither indicative of the level of competition nor of the effort expended by the Lady Railers. The Railers got the first point of the game and then the well went dry. The Railers would not score again until McAuley had run off 14 unanswered points.

But it wasn’t because the Railers weren’t in the battle. McAuley first scored 5 unanswered points, when Lincoln Coach Howe called timeout. After that timeout neither Lincoln nor McAuley would score until eight side-outs were exchanged. Led by Senior, Danielle Peifer, the Railer defense had dug in and held. But then, McAuley’s powerful offense broke the stalemate and eventually ran the score to 14-1. But the Lady Railers weren’t done yet. Just as they had done in Game 1, the Railers, behind the serving of Angela Maestas and Darcy White and the kill of Ashley Boyer, managed to put 3 points on the scoreboard, to put the score at 4-14.

In the end, Mother McAuley’s twin towers, Maddie Barron (10 kills) and Megan Griffin (13 kills, three blocks), along with their powerful hitter and server Megan Knightly (nine kills, 7 points) were just too much for the Lady Railers, and the game ended with McAuley moving on to the championship game, having defeated the Railers 15-4.

In the third- and fourth-place game on Saturday evening, the Railers once again pleasantly surprised the entire Redbird Arena crowd with a great show of mutual sportsmanship. When the Lady Railers ran onto the court for opening warm-ups, they weren’t alone. They came in hand in hand with their opponents, the Mustangs of Downers Grove South. And, after a delightful game of duck-duck-goose with DSG, both teams warmed up together. As a result, another breath of fresh air was breathed into a high school athletic event.

The match itself took a typical third-place match script. Everybody plays, everybody struggles through the emotions while trying to have fun, everyone wants it over but doesn’t want it to end, and everyone is physically and emotionally exhausted. Match over. When it was over, DSG came out on top 15-5 and 15-4 to take third place, and the Lady Railers stood as the fourth-best team in the state of Illinois.

The Lady Railers, excellently coached by Charissa Howe, Tanya Conrady and Ashley Conrady, end their storybook season with a record of 29-12-1, a regional championship, a sectional championship, a supersectional championship, an Elite 8 victory, a Final 4 appearance and a fourth-place trophy. Not bad for a team that no one else in Illinois seemed to know existed before last week.

As the individual medals were being handed out, tears were being shed and the huge fourth-place trophy was lifted high, the reason they had come so far this year was clear to everyone who knew these young women, and I hope to each of them: YOU PLAYED FROM THE HEART.

Way to go Lady Railers! And one last time, seniors, in this volleyball venue: Way to go Ashley, Becca, Angela and Danielle! You all made us PROUD!

[NOV. 13, 2000]  Lincoln College rolled to a 105-68 victory over Shawnee at the Spoon River Classic in Canton Sunday afternoon. The victory is the third straight for the Lynx and raises the season record to 3-1.

Leading the way for the balanced Lincoln attack was Eric Crockrell with 23 points and 11 rebounds.   Crockrell connected on 7-of-10 shots from the floor and added 9-of-12 from the free-throw line. Three other Lynx players joined Crockrell in double figures. Maurice Shurney connected for 18 points while Jay Bates added 12 and Brian Thorsen 11. Eleven different players cracked the scoring column for the Lynx.

Lincoln held a 42-25 halftime lead with 41 percent shooting, and they picked it up in the second half by connecting on 22-of-37 shot attempts for nearly 60 percent. Lincoln tallied 63 second-half points to run away with the victory.

Coach B. J. McCullum said, "Our players gave a great effort. We have been improving defensively each game. We played hard throughout."

[NOV. 13, 2000]  The Lincoln College athletic teams had a busy day Saturday, and, for the most part, they were very successful. The Lincoln men's basketball team defeated Rend Lake 92-69; the women's basketball team posted an 81-72 victory over Sauk Valley; and the men's swim team was a double dual winner, beating Grand Valley University 114-76 and Lewis University 111-76. Two of Lincoln's wrestlers finished second in the Muskegon Open. The lone setback on the Lynx’ busy day was the women's swim team, which lost to Grand Valley University 147-22 and to Lewis University 131-26.

Marlon Brooks and Jerron Hobson scored 24 and 21 points respectively to lead the Lynx men to victory. Coach B. J. McCullum said, "I thought our defensive intensity was very good for most of the game. We made some mental mistakes that were from a lack of concentration, but overall it was a good effort. Marlon and Jerron both gave us big lifts at different points in the game. I also thought we closed the game out well, considering we were only up six points with four minutes to go."

Lincoln held a 38-29 halftime lead, however, the Lynx hit 16-of-25 shots in the second half in outscoring the Rend Lake Warriors, 54-40. The Lynx finished the game shooting 51 percent.   Lincoln also connected on 8-of-6 shots from 3-point range. Brian Moffitt pulled down 11 rebounds to lead the Lynx. Lincoln now stands at 2-1 for the season.

The Lincoln women's team got a great effort from Ronni Beebe in the first half with 12 points, and Tameeka Dawson took over in the second half by scoring 19 points. Dawson finished the game with 22 points and Beebe had 18. Katie Skaggs contributed 20 points to the Lady Lynx attack, hitting all three of their 3-point goals. Lincoln led 35-30 at halftime.

Coach Carol Wilson's squad is now 2-0 on the young season.

In wrestling, Pat Dowty and Nathan Welsh both placed second in the Muskegon Open. Dowty, wrestling at 141 pounds, lost the title match to Jason Mester of Central Michigan, 7-2. Welsh, wrestling as a heavyweight, dropped his title match to Jim Kilcoyne of Central Michigan, 12-3. No team scores were kept in the open tournament.

Alex Blanch and Ramiro Palmar were both double winners for the Lincoln College men swimmers. Federico Gentry and Keith Tobin were also first-place winners, while the 400-yard freestyle relay team placed first. Both of the victories came against four-year schools. Coach Dan Hemenway said, "We were very pleased with the effort against four-year opponents."

Blanch won the 200 free in 1:50.54 and the 100-yard butterfly in :53.57. Palmar was a winner in the 100-yard breaststroke, in 1:01.87, and won the 400-yard IM in 4:24.93. Tobin's win came in the 500-yard freestyle, with a time of 5:04.74, and Gentry won the 1,650-yard free with a time of 17:44.73. The 400-yard relay team won with a time of 3:21.21. Swimming on the winning team were Blanch, Gentry, Palmar and Jake Sexton.

Lincoln College did not have any winners in the women's swimming events.

Introduction by Jeff Mayfield

[NOV. 13, 2000]  Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, the sharks — I mean the Buckeyes — used up all the magic left over in the genie's bottle and pulled out a 24-21 escape over the courageous Illini. This week we are introducing to our loyal LDN readers a new face in our lineup, Mr. Greg Taylor. Greg has filled in when Tom Seggelke is on assignment elsewhere. Greg is originally from Champaign and has keen insights into both the football and the basketball programs at Illinois. I know that you will welcome Greg with traditional LDN flare! Greg and I once again got you fantastic LDN readers close to the action as we tried to will the winning field goal to go wide. The official right on the spot did not agree with all of the fans in the north end zone. They called for a recount, but their votes were already tabulated...

Injuries

Illinois lost their starting QB at the most crucial point of the game. Kurt Kittner was literally knocked out of the game as time expired in the third quarter. While Dustin Ward (of Champaign Centennial HS) performed well, the loss of their star created a feeling of fear on the Illinois sideline. In addition, starting halfback Rocky Harvey hurt his knee early in the second half and did not return, and two key defensive backs, safety Bobbie Singleton and cornerback Anthony Hurd, left the game and also did not return (Hurd is out for the season).

Illinois' receiving group once again failed to take advantage of key opportunities to keep offensive drives alive. Most painful was a dropped pass on a third-and-four play in the middle of the fourth quarter, which would have kept a drive alive. Equally troubling is the fact that 6-foot-5 Walter Young did not have a reception in the game even though he held a substantial height advantage over every Ohio State defensive back and linebacker.

More questionable calls from the officials

The game-winning field goal appeared to be wide right (I was standing under the goal post), yet the official never hesitated. Also, no penalty was called on the helmet to-helmet contact which knocked Kittner out of the game. In the NFL, Ohio State’s player (Mike Doss) would have been penalized and probably fined at least one week's pay — instead the only result of the play is Illinois loses their greatest offensive weapon.

Defensive woes

Ohio State ran at will Saturday and could have easily scored much more than 24 points. Illinois must address every facet of their defensive scheme by fall of 2001 if they want to seriously consider a run for the title.

Lack of game-breakers

Last year, Brandon Lloyd was the key in this area. This year, Illinois' two greatest options offensively spend most of the game on the sideline. Simply put, coach Turner must find creative ways to get Christian Morton in the game! (Option two, Brandon Lloyd, is out for the year with — guess what — an injury!)

Overall, the 2000 season has been very disappointing for Illini fans. However, I really feel our future is bright if the team is able to address a few key areas of concern. Coach Ron Turner has taken the program from disaster to a very decent status. Now it is time to elevate the program one step further. Are they up for the challenge? Only time will tell, but this Illini fan feels pretty good about the possibility of consistent greatness in Champaign on autumn afternoons in the future!

[NOV. 11, 2000]  It's shaping up to be a David versus Goliath weekend at the Class AA Girl's Volleyball State Finals. At the end of the first game Friday afternoon, it was David 1, Goliath 0.

The role of David is being played "from the heart" this weekend by the smallest, least-known school in Class AA: the LCHS Lady Railers. Today's Goliath was five-time Chicago Public League Champion, Lane Tech. The Lady Railers crushed Lane Tech, in two straight games, 15-8 and 15-2 to advance to Saturday's semifinal match at 11 a.m. in Redbird Arena. Goliath #2 will be Chicago Mother McAuley with a record of 36-5 and 11 times the Girl's Volleyball State Champion. The Lady Railers don't appear to be intimidated.

In Friday's first game, the Lady Railers started out strong, then became a little tentative, but finally finished their opponent off by doing what they have done all year long -- play like a team. The Lady Railers never trailed in either game. They took the first four points behind the strong serving of Danielle Peifer, that included two aces. Lane then surged back to tie the score at 4-4. After that, Lincoln never looked back. Kari McFadden and Kristina Cook served on the next two successive possessions, and when they were through, so was Lane's chance of winning, as the score stood 9-4 for the Lady Railers. Kelli Gleason, Ashley Boyer and, once again, Kari McFadden served out the remainder of the first game, resulting in a 15-8 Railer victory. Good defensive play all around, kills and soft touches by Danielle Peifer, Kristina Cook and Kari McFadden, and the always-consistent setting of Kelli Gleason, were the rest of the story of Game 1. Smelling a chance to move to the Final Four, the Railers moved in for the kill.

[to top of second column in this article]

In Game 2 of the match, the Lady Railers relentlessly served, blocked and killed, while only making two mistakes. The game was only close in the very beginning as Lane managed 2 points to the Railers 4. After that it was all Railers. The Railers served up four aces, one each by Kelli Gleason and Kristina Cook with two for Ashley Boyer. Darcy White made two excellent serves to put the Lady Railers at the 11-2 mark. Crucial blocks on the front line by Cook and Gleason repeatedly stuffed the Lane attack. Kills on offense and defense from Cook and Danielle Peifer added punctuation marks to the Railer victory. The game ended quickly with a 15-2 score.

Once again the Lady Railer fans were the "seventh man" on the floor. A large, raucous group of LCHS students, along with parents and other fans, once again made their presence known at Redbird Arena. Both coach Howe and the Lady Railers, in post-match interviews, acknowledged the impact of the Lincoln crowd. "Our fans are wonderful," they said.

Lane's coach, Ron Borck, who was reported earlier this week to have asked the question: "Where is Lincoln anyway?", was gracious in his response when I questioned him in the post-match press conference. He assured me that he knew exactly where Lincoln was now -- "on their way to the semifinals," he said. He will now undoubtedly always remember Lincoln. It was Borck's final match in a distinguished 16-year volleyball coaching career.

One Goliath down. Two more to go. GO LADY RAILERS!

[NOV. 11, 2000]  Lincoln College opened its wrestling season at Muskegon, Mich., Friday and split a pair of dual meets. The Lynx lost to Grand Valley State University in the first match, 33-9. The Lynx rebounded in the second match to post a 30-16 victory over Olivet College. Lincoln will be wrestling again Saturday in the Muskegon Open.

Lincoln's two returning All-Americans were double winners Friday. Pat Dowty (141) decisioned his opponent 6-3 in the opening match, and he pinned Mike Storts of Olivet in 1:10 of his second match. Matt Veach (157) won both of his bouts with decisions. Veach decisioned Jeremiah Gitchel 6-3 and then stopped Adam Herrington 13-3.

Scott Schultz was the only other Lincoln winner against Grand Valley, with a 3-2 decision against Christian Ciaglia. Joining the two All-Americans in the win column against Olivet were Clint Shaw (165), a 14-3 winner over Nick Hannah; Matt Morel (174), who pinned Sean Hardy in 1:15; Josh Lepper (197), who decisioned Derek Corder 16-7; and Nathan Welsh (heavyweight), a winner by forfeit.

[NOV. 11, 2000]  The Lincoln College men's swimming team posted a 112-49 victory over Millikin University in Decatur Friday, while the women's swimming team suffered a 69-48 loss to the Big Blue.

Winners for Lincoln included the 400 medley relay team of Keith Tobin, Doug Zimmer, Zach Welch and Doug Garofalo in 3:57.33. Frederico Gentry won the 1,000-yard freestyle with a time of 10:31.34, and Nick Colberg placed second at 10:41.21. Ramiro Palmar won the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:49.89, while Alex Blanch and Jacob Sexton tied for first in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of :22.91.

Blanch also won the 200-yard butterfly, in 1:59.68.Winning the 100-yard freestyle for the Lynx was Jacob Sexton in :51.07. Tobin edged teammate Gentry to win the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 5:05.34. Gentry finished at 5:05.81. Also winning for the Lynx was Palmar with 2:17.71 in the 200-yard backstroke. Colberg, Gentry, Blanch and Sexton teamed to win the 400-yard freestyle with a time of 3:31.16.

For the women, Kristen Holtane posted a time of :27.89 to win the 50-yard freestyle for the Lynx; Liz Wilson won the 200-yard breakstroke in 2:58.74; and the 400-yard freestyle relay team made up of Lindsey Luhtala, Tamara Campion, Kristen Holtane and Bonnie DiFoggio won with a time of 2:17.71.

[NOV. 10, 2000]  After months of being courted by universities all over the country, Gregg Alexander officially signed his national letter of intent Wednesday to attend Illinois State University. Gregg appears to be relieved that the whole process is now behind him and he can settle back into school and leading the basketball Railers to another outstanding season.

Gregg was the Central State Eight player of the year last season, when he led the Railers to a 19-8 record by averaging 24.6 points per game and, incredibly, scored in double figures in every single contest. Alexander has led Lincoln to a 72-15 record during his three-year varsity career, which included a 1998 trip to state and the Elite Eight — the first time for Lincoln in nearly 20 years.

Gregg and his Railsplitter teammates will open the season on Monday, Nov. 21.

[NOV. 10, 2000]  Katie Skaggs hit two free throws with 11 seconds remaining to give the Lincoln College women an 89-88 victory in the season opener against Carl Sandburg at Galesburg Thursday night.

Coach Carl Wilson said, "We had five players in double figures and got a great team effort from everyone. A lot of people stepped up and helped us gain the victory. Jesse Dullard was especially a workhorse on both ends of the court."

Hitting double figures for the Lady Lynx were Chanel Roebuck, 16; Tameeka Dawson, 12; Ronni Beebe, 12; Dullard, 12; and Sara McLaughlin, 10. Lincoln led 44-40 at halftime and held on for the victory even though they were outscored 48-45 in the second half. Carl Sandburg (0-2) stayed in the game with five 3-point goals, while the Lynx were shut out from 3-point land.

[NOV. 10, 2000]  Lincoln College evened its men's basketball record with a 75-54 victory over Carl Sandburg Thursday night in Galesburg. The Lynx are now 1-1 on the season.

Maurice Shurney led the Lynx with 21 points on perfect shooting from the field. Shurney hit both of his 3-point tries and connected on seven of seven from 2-point land. His only problem came at the free-throw line, where Shurney connected on only one of four. Joining Shurney in double figures for the Lynx were Jay Bates with 13 points and Marlon Brooks with 12. Eric Crockrell helped the Lynx to a 37-35 edge on the boards by controlling 11 rebounds.

The Lynx shot 49 percent from the floor for the game, including four of 13 from 3-point land. Carl Sandburg was held to 35 percent shooting by the Lynx defense. The hosts did make eight of 19 shots from 3-point territory. Thirteen of the Lynx saw playing time and 11 cracked the scoring column.

[NOV. 10, 2000]  A good nucleus of returning sophomores gives Lincoln College men’s basketball coach B.J. McCullum high hopes for this season. The Lynx have six returning lettermen and two sophomore transfers to build around.

Coach McCullum began his third season at Lincoln College with a record of 45-19. His first squad won 20 games, and last year the Lynx finished with a 25-7 record. "With a sophomore-laden team, I expect us to be very competitive by the end of the season," said McCullum. "We have a tough schedule, which should help us at the end of the season. We open with Southeastern Iowa, the defending national champions, at their place. We are also playing in a three-day Thanksgiving tourney at Three Rivers, and their coach (Gene Bess) will break the 900-victory barrier this season. They have won two Division I titles in the past 10 years. We also play at Indian Hills, and they had two first round draft picks in the NBA last season, plus they have three Division I championships to their credit. It will be a very competitive schedule."

McCullum continued, "Hopefully by playing the great competition we will learn of our weaknesses, and the men can work on them and be ready by tournament time. We should be a good rebounding and a good defensive team. We will also be a good transition team. Our biggest problem will be 3-point shooting. Hopefully we have enough strengths in other areas to overcome the lack of 3-point shooters. We lost over 100 3-point goals from last year’s team, including Drake Ford, who set the school career record for 3s with 194 and the single season record with 108.

"As for goals, we hope to repeat as conference champions and go to the national tournament. With the support we have in Lincoln, going to the nationals should be our goal every year."

Heading the list of returnees is Marlon Brooks, 6-0 guard from Peoria Manual. McCullum said, "He was our second leading scorer last season and was named all-region and all-conference. He was selected as the co-freshmen of the year in our conference. Eugene Bates, 6-0 guard from Chicago Robeson High School, takes the ball to the basket and has great athletic ability. He is a good rebounder and probably our best perimeter defender."

Returning in the front line is 6-6 Eric Crockrell from Chicago Robeson. "He has looked very good thus far in practice. Eric is an outstanding rebounder and has shown signs that he will be a better scorer in the postseason," said McCullum. "Also showing a lot of scoring potential is Brian Moffitt of A-C Central High School in Ashland. Brian has been playing much harder in practice this year, and he can definitely get the ball in the hoop."

Ryan Brinker and Michael Wehrle are the other returning sophomores who lettered last season. McCullum said, "Ryan does a lot of the little things it takes to win. He is one of our better passers, and if he can knock down the shot, he should see a lot of playing time. Michael has worked very hard to improve his shot, and he was a solid backup last season, and we are looking for more of the same from him this season."

[to top of second column in this article]

Ryan Reynolds was redshirted last season, and he has been bothered by a stress fracture in his leg this season. "The guys really respect Ryan, and he is an extremely hard worker who should be ready by the time we open the season, " said McCullum.

Two transfers are expected to help the Lynx tremendously this season. Creston Coleman played this past season at South Plains, Texas. The Peoria Manual graduate, a 6-1 guard, has been slowed by a broken foot but is probably 65 percent right now. "He may be our best passer and is a good shooter. We look for him to get a lot of playing time," said McCullum. Maurice Shurney, 6-7, of Chicago Dunbar, played at Jacksonville, Texas last season. McCullum stated, "If Maurice works hard, he could be as good as anyone in our region. He is playing at about 80 percent of his ability right now and is as good as most people. If he plays at 100 percent, he would be better than anyone. He is one of the better prospects we have had at Lincoln College."

The Lynx have several freshmen who have an opportunity to help this season. Included among the freshmen are Brian Thorsen, 6-8, of Schaumburg; Jerron Hobson, 5-11, of Manual; Kaleb Shumard, 6-7, of Lincoln; Michael Sams, 6-4, of Quincy; Walter Moore, 6-2, of Maroa-Forsyth; Gene Reed, 5-9, and his brother Terry Reed, 5-9, of Atwood-Hammond; and Andrew Kehr, 6-1, of Alexis.

Coach McCullum said, "Thorsen is a very physical player and may be the best screener I ever coached. He has the ability to get his teammates open. Hobson may be the best player we have at pressuring the basketball and is a solid shooter. Shumard has never played organized basketball before; however, he may be the best shooter on the team, and he is a good passer. He needs to work on his defense and on understanding the game a little better. If he works hard, I think he can earn a scholarship at a four-year school.

"Sams was the starting center for Quincy High School last season and is a good offensive rebounder. With his size being only 6-4, he needs to develop his game away from the basket a little. Moore played the post in high school, and he too needs to develop his game away from the basket. Kehr has a bright future and needs to work in the weight room to get stronger. He has a good understanding of the game. Gene Reed is a solid player, and he needs to mature physically. Terry Reed is a bright player who works hard in practice every day. He needs to keep working to be ready to help us next season."
