Winnebago girls, Belvidere North's Judah Binger grab sectional cross country titles

Now, it comes down to one. The IHSA cross country season has been whittled down to its final race, and that's only for the elite. The Rockford area qualified seven teams and seven other local individuals out of the sectionals on Oct. 31 and into this week's state meet. Now it's time to see who can finish strong. More Rockford-area sports: Rockford Christian, Stockton highlight volleyball postseason schedule And the girls Class 1A defending state champions from Winnebago are taking aim at another one. "I wouldn't want to be going down there with any other group," Winnebago's 23rd-year head coach Joe Erb said. "These girls are just really, really good, and now it's time to see what they can do at state." Winnebago has been running without its injured No. 1, junior Molly Webb, at regionals and sectionals, but have won team titles at both. Now Erb says Webb "probably won't run at state," but they are ready regardless. It will all come to a close after the IHSA boys and girls state cross country meet Saturday, Nov. 7, at Detweiller Park in Peoria.

Hononegah faces defending champion Fenwick in playoffs

ROCKTON — Like they say, you can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your enemies and that sure applies to the football playoffs. Hononegah (9-1) just happened to draw the 6A defending state champion Fenwick Friars (7-3) for their second-round opponent. Kickoff at Kelsey Field on Saturday is at 1 p.m. “They’re a well-coached team and they are fundamentally sound in every facet of the game,” Hononegah head coach Brian Zimmerman said. “They play in a really tough, private Catholic school league. Their three losses all come to top-10 ranked teams.” So how do the Indians hand them their fourth defeat? “We are going to have to play one of our best games, obviously,” Zimmerman said. “We’re going to have to really limit our mistakes. We’re going to have to be methodical moving the ball. Every possession, we’re going to have to keep moving the sticks. We can’t turn the ball over like we did in the first half against Willowbrook.” The Indians led only 6-3 at halftime against the Warriors last Friday, but ended up winning 32-3 as whatever offensive missteps they experienced in the first half were ironed out during the break. Hononegah’s defense was also terrific.
