ROCKTON — Monday’s showdown between Hononegah and Freeport didn’t quite live up to the hype of two NIC-10 squads at the top of the standings vying for a conference titleThat’s perfectly fine by Indians’ junior Parker Danielson, who helped his squad blow out the Pretzels 11-3 on a warm and sunny afternoon at Weber Field to move into a tie with Freeport for first place with a NIC-10 record of 11-2. kAm“(6 H6C6 6I4:E65 4@>:?8 :?[” D2:5 s2?:6=D@?[ H9@ E9C6H 2 4@>A=6E6 82>6 @?

BELOIT — The Beloit Sky Carp sure would have loved to give all the moms in attendance a victory in honor of Mother’s Day, but the Cedar Rapids Kernels and its bats had other plans. The Kernels racked up 11 hits and used a four-run first to jump ahead for good while the bullpen staved off any hopes of a late Sky Carp rally in a 6-5 victory in front of 1,774 at a warm and sunny ABC Supply Stadium on Sunday.

BELOIT — Forget diamonds, a good defense is really a girl's best friend. Especially if you happen to be Beloit Turner ace Olyvia Piranio, whose steady outing from the circle on a windy but sunny Thursday afternoon was backed up by impressive fielding. kAmp?5 :E AC@G65 E@ 36 E96 5:776C6?46 >2<6C 2D E96 %C@;2?D D4@C65 7@FC F?62C?65 CF?D :? 2 d\a G:4E@CJ @G6C #'r #@4< C:G2= r=:?E@?

BELOIT — There are several battles that will be worth keeping a close eye on at this year’s edition of the Beloit Daily News Invitational. Clinton's steady distance runners will go head-to-head against the staying power of the Home School Eagles. Brodhead's speedesters will pose a challenge to just about everybody in the sprints. Parkview's Mike Williams has been getting hot and will try to unseat top-seeded Deaken Krause of Beloit Turner in the shot put.

BELOIT — Beloit Sky Carp reliever Jack Sellinger understands the pitfalls of coming out of the bullpen. If a thrower comes in and throws a clean inning or two, he’s just doing his job. If that pitcher should give up a few hits or, even worse, a couple of runs? They are public enemy No. 1. kAmqFE $6==:?86C 36=:6G6D E92E 96 2?5 9:D 3F==A6? >2E6D 2C6 >@C6 E92?

LOVES PARK, Ill. — Hononegah girls soccer head coach Brynn Jacobi admitted that the mood was a little somber during the halftime huddle as the Indians found themselves in an unfamiliar position: playing from behind. So, when NIC-10 foe Rockford Boylan quickly scored back-to-back goals to up its advantage to 3-0 with just under 20 minutes left in the game, did Hononegah put on funeral music? Begin to dig its own graves? kAm%96 6I24E @AA@D:E6[ 24EF2==J]k^AmkAm%96 x?5:2?D H6?E 76C@4:@FD=J @?

POPLAR GROVE, Ill. — The most important week of the season for the North Boone baseball team could very well be the final one, when the Vikings are due to face off twice against currently undefeated, first-place Byron. But North Boone understands all too well that those pair of games will only be crucial if it takes care of business in the meantime. kAm%96 ':<:?8D 5:5 ;FDE E92E @? |@?52J 2D E96J 56762E65 s:I@? d\a E@ >@G6 :?E@ 2 E:6 7@C D64@?5 A=246 H:E9 E96 sF<6D :?

WALWORTH, Wis. — The Big Foot softball team had seen this script before, and they didn’t like the ending. Heading into the bottom of the sixth knotted up at one with Monroe in Rock Valley Conference crossover action on Friday evening, a bad feeling of deja vu surely began to creep up on the Chiefs, who have had five of their seven losses this season decided by three or less runs. kA 5:ClQ=ECQmkDA2?mqFE q:8 u@@E 564:565 E@ 3FDE @FE E96:C A6?D 2?5 492?86 E96 4@?4=FD:@?

BRODHEAD, Wis. — Beloit Turner center fielder Emma Bue would be lying if she said that the Trojans didn't have RVC Rock foe Brodhead firmly in their crosshairs this season. "We had been practicing so hard for this because Brodhead has been our rival for so long," the junior said. "Freshman (and sophomore) year we were runner-up behind them.
