A look at the football team's second round game and volleyball's supersectional showdown.
Football #6 Cary-Grove (8-2) at #3 Nazareth (9-1) When: Saturday, 1 p.m. Where: Valenta Stadium, 1209 W. Odgen Ave., LaGrange Park Trojans on Offense: Cary has their issues getting the offense going last week against Crystal Lake Central but still managed to get a 17-7 win. Quinn Baker has taken the quarterback role and has led Cary in rushing most of the season. Nazareth is only allowing 17 points a game and the many options that come from the triple option offense the Trojans run will come into play. C-G tried to throw the ball more last week as well and while this could be something to throw another wrinkle into any opponent’s gameplan, it is something that may come into action if Cary wants to advance to the Class 6A Quarterfinals. …

Senior Zachary Taylor leads Cary-Grove Trojans in raising awareness about and funding to fight breast cancer.
Cary-Grove senior Zachary Taylor, in his third year of fundraising, hopes to raise more money and awareness for the breast cancer fund. The high school community service group called Interact has been a vehicle for Taylor and volunteers to have a unified presence in the high school and throughout the community. "When my grandmother was first diagnosed with breast cancer, my dad and I would run the Care 4 Breast Cancer 5K each October," Taylor said, explaining his inspiration to start the project. "In 2009, as a sophomore, I was on the Interact Board and presented to them that we have volunteers help at the race. I then learned we could form teams." Taylor then formed Team Cary-Grove Trojans, which the team raised $7,600 from walkers, …
