Please take a minute to join us in publicly thanking Jay Czarnecki, who's stepping down as the only varsity baseball coach VHHS has ever known. His teams amassed 379 wins and 6 Regional championships in 19 seasons. He remains at VH as a teacher and football coach.

How many hundreds of athletic events has Kathy worked the last two decades? No matter the number, she always did it for the kids. And today’s the last one! She retires next week. Nobody’s done more to earn it, and few Cougars will be more missed than she. Thank you, Kathy!

Missed the moment it happened, but this football official, injured and watching his crew in a downpour, only had this umbrella because So. cheerleader Katie Hansen saw him, asked her mom to get an umbrella from the car, and gave it to him. Awesome move, kid. #D128Daring

You need to stop vaping. Don't listen to us. Listen to someone your own age. From Gurnee. He's in the hospital right now, and he has something he'd like to tell you.

If you love HS sports, you know what a tough job it is to cover them for the paper. Long after the tournament ends, the teams and fans are gone, and there you are in an empty school lobby, working to finish and file your story on deadline. If you do this job, thank you.

Work began this week on the bleachers for the new West Gym which will seat about 1,000. This will be a great environment. A little more intimate, a little louder than the Main Gym. We’ll have some great wrestling matches, basketball games, volleyball. And it’s home for badminton!
