Senior pitcher Lea LaSota is mowing down opponents as the Chargers' softball team boasts a 12-0 record.
Stagg's softball team has charged out to a 12-0 start this season, thanks largely to the pitching of senior Lea LaSota. LaSota improved to 11-0 (with one save) on the season as the Chargers beat Reavis 3-2 on Saturday. She allowed just one earned run on five hits and struck out 12. She also laid down a successful squeeze bunt to bring home Stagg’s third run of the game. LaSota pitched out of trouble against Mother McAuley on Monday in what was perhaps her biggest test of the season, as the Chargers won 4-3. LaSota had seven strikeouts in that game. LaSota got the save after coming on in relief against Joliet Central. She struck out nine in Stagg's 7-3 victory. She struck out 12 in a 2-0 win against Joliet West on Thursday. For her efforts…

Chargers' senior Dan Ahern doesn't let his relative lack of size stop him from taking the ball to the basket.
At first glance, Dan Ahern doesn't look like your typical basketball player. The Stagg senior guard stands 5-9 and plays on a team where everybody else measures at least 6-0. But Ahern stands tall where it matters most--on the court. "All my life I've been smaller than everyone, you just get used to it," he said. "You just have to deal with it. You've got guys like (Darius) Draper, who is 6-5, to help you out, bring out the ball and get all the rebounds. I just shoot the threes in overtime and hopefully hit them, like today." Ahern scored 13 points and snared two rebounds in Stagg's 49-47 overtime victory over Andrew on Tuesday night. But that wasn't out of the ordinary for him. He averages 16 points and is the Chargers' second-leading …

Stagg 49, Andrew 47. Stagg didn't back to down to Andrew's constant pressure.
The Hot Read: Can you say nail-biter? The District 230 rivals forced Tuesday night's boys basketball matchup into overtime and kept the fans on their feet before Stagg pulled out a 49-47 victory. The Chargers used defensive pressure on the Thunderbolts to come up with a nine steals. Andrew led Stagg 21-16 at halftime, but Stagg fought its way back. A three-pointer in OT from Dan Ahern gave the Chargers the momentum they needed to fend of the T-Bolts. Patch's MVP: Stagg's Darius Draper (16 points, 13 rebounds). Draper sank a three-pointer in the third quarter to tie the game 27-27. Key Stats: Andrew was able to maintain control for long stretches due to the fact it outrebounded Stagg 28-23. But free throw shooting was the difference. The T-…

Swason said the Bengals were ready to put the skid behind them and start the new year fresh. "We didn't want to look at film," Swanson said.

Emmett chipped in 15 points and five rebounds. "We talked about not letting up," Swanson said. "I know we weren't letting up this game.
