With a controlling running game and a shut-down defense, Glenbrook South dominated New Trier and bounced the Trevians 27-0 in the first round of the playoffs.
Breaking it Down: Under second-year coach Dan Starkey, New Trier made strides in the regular season, improving to 6-3 after a 5-4 record a year ago. But it will have to wait another season to take the next step in the playoffs. Glenbrook South took it to the Trevians in Glenview on Friday night, bursting out to a 20-0 halftime lead and holding on for the 27-0 shutout to advance to the second round of the playoffs. New Trier has now lost in the first round of the playoffs in each of the last three seasons. New Trier struggled on offense and could never get a consistent running attack going. Danny Olaniyan and Michael Thomas never broke any long runs and QB Jack Nykaza was shadowed by Glenbrook South’s linebackers. The Trevians had …

After trailing at the start, New Trier rallied to win a close opening game and then dominated the second game for a 25-22, 25-14 win.
For Brittani Steinberg and the New Trier volleyball team, match preparation starts on the ride to the stadium. And it’s not in the form of quiet time. “We have a lot of energy and we use it to our advantage when we play,” said Steinberg, a junior outside hitter. “We always get really pumped up before games; our bus rides are really loud because there’s a lot of singing, dancing, cheering. But I think we control the energy well.” That certainly was the case on Monday night as the Trevians swept Glenbrook South 25-22, 25-14 to clinch the outright title in the Central Suburban League South. New Trier started out sloppy in the first game, committing five straight hitting errors at one point to help Glenbrook South take an early 13-10 lead. …
