Spartan Roundup April 4
Spring break meant there was less action, but a few teams played this weekend.
BOYS VOLLEYBALL - Glenbrook North took sixth in the 24-team field of Wheaton Warrenville South's Tiger Classic. On Friday they picked up pool play wins over Brother Rice (26-24, 23-25, 25-18) and Wheaton North (25-9, 25-10) to advance to Saturday's Gold Flight. In the quarterfinals they lost to Lincoln-Way East 25-17, 17-25, 25-23 but bounced back with a 25-17, 25-15 win over Oak Park-River Forest. Buffalo Grove beat GBN for fifth place by a score of 25-20, 25-22. This week the Spartans will play rival Glenbrook South a visit on Friday.
SOFTBALL - The girls returned from a layoff of more than two weeks to sweep Prospect in a doubleheader on Saturday. Sarah Koulogeorge drove in the game-winning run in game one to cap a comeback 2-1 and the Spartans followed that up with an 11-6 victory in the finale. GBN (3-2) has a busy schedule this week, with midweek games against Waukegan, Fremd and Niles West before competing in the Palatine Quad on Saturday.
BOYS GYMNASTICS - Led by sophomore Nate Elfant's fifth place finish in the all-around, Glenbrook North finished sixth at the Niles West Invite on Saturday. Junior Jared Gimbel took tenth. The Spartans host GBS Thursday and head to Mundelein for an invite on Friday.
