Your opponent, Cary-Grove, is undefeated (12-0) this season. Why are they so good? They are very good and balanced at every positon. There are not too many weaknesses that we can exploit. We have to understand what we are doing on each scheme and execute. Hopefully we can block and tackle. This is the first option team you have faced all season. How do you stop that type of offense? It creates assignment football for your guys. Not that they don't have assignments (in other games), but they are more defined and they have who they got. They can’t worry about who their guy is versus following the ball. It starts with their fullback (senior Eric Norberg, who has rushed for 1,933 yards and 23 touchdowns this season) and their quarterback (…

Saturday afternoon’s game against Buffalo Grove was the first of three straight Saturday 2:30 p.m. matinees for Cary-Grove’s girls’ basketball team. The Trojans started off slowly but were able to pick up it in the second half to get a 58-35 non-conference win over the Bison. The two teams battled back and forth in the first half with neither team getting a large lead as Cary went into the half with just a 24-23 lead.

Cary makes two shots in second half but squeaks out 32-27 win over Crystal Lake South to improve to 2-0 in FVC Valley Division
The last time Cary-Grove and Crystal Lake South played each other, the two teams combined to score 74 points in a 42-32 win by the Gators.

The two teams did not have the best of shooting nights as the two teams combined to make just two field goals in the first four minutes of the game before South would get a 6-4 lead late in the quarter. Cary (8-9, 2-0) responded with a 9-3 run to end the quarter including a Matt Aulert basket at the buzzer. The teams battled back and forth in the …

Trojans jump out to 26-4 lead, get outscored in second half, yet come away with 60-43 win over Jacobs to improve 4-0 in FVC Valley play
Every win is a little different, some are complete domination while others seem like they are going well at the beginning and then go downhill late in the game. Cary-Grove’s girls’ basketball team had the second option happen Friday night in Fox Valley Conference Valley Division play at Jacobs, jumping out to a 26-4 lead in the first half but struggled while getting a 60-43 victory to improve to 4-0 in the division and getting their 15th win of the season. Cary (15-3, 4-0) came out defensively with reckless abandon, causing turnover after turnover by the Golden Eagles which led to several lay-ups as the Trojans scored the first six points of the game and held Jacobs scoreless the first 4:20 in taking a 14-2 lead after one quarter of play. …
