Girls Track Getting Set for State. Again.
They're good, very good, and the 2005 state champion ETHS girls track
team is still something to behold in 2006. The outdoor track and
field season has begun and the team is tuning up for another run at the
state title. Their overall talent was on display at the Niles West Invitational
meet April 13.
"The only thing he (Coach Gunter) is interested in is the individual's
progress and the track meet at the end," ETHS athletic director John Riehle
said of the three-time state champs.

Opening Day for EBSA
April 17 was opening day for Evanston Baseball and Softball Association, with the largest number of boys and girls in Evanston history play on the teams this season.
"Almost 1600 players have registered for the 2006 season," said Casey Miller, co-president with Bill Blanchard of the EBSA. "We will field a total of 123 baseball and softball teams this spring. It is very heartening when you consider that just 10 years ago there were only 45. Interest has never been higher and we are delighted with the growth of our sports."
There will be three seasons of ball this year: regular season, April 17 through mid-June; July Ball season, which includes travel seasons for both baseball and softball; and Fall Ball, Labor Day until November.
