Maine West pulls off a stunning 41-40 win over Taft in the regional semifinals. Jaclyn Riedl makes 1-of-2 free throws to cut the deficit to 40-39 with 2.5 seconds left. Misses 2nd FT & Taft rebounds, but travels with 0.6 left. Becker inbounds to Riedl, who scores at buzzer to win

As a high school and college student on summer break, I worked for the Des Plaines Times, the crosstown rival of the Journal.

Had no idea these WPA murals were in the Journal newsroom.

Hope they can be preserved https://t.co/D0MRGliW87

Warriors get their 3rd shutout of the season and even their record at 4-4. Final game of the regular season is next week at home versus Highland Park.

The volleyball match between @Maine_West and @Maine_East was more than a game last night. It was Fight for Feyerer Night! @Maine_West coach Nora Feyerer was diagnosed with breast cancer last fall; after treatments, she is now cancer free! #207now #207lead #breastcancerawareness

[Maine West Westerner @mwwesterner]

Huge congrats to @dmihalopoulos, a @Maine_West alum, for winning the Edward R. Murrow award for regional hard news reporting. His investigation into abuse faced by Chicago parks lifeguards shows his commitment to giving a voice to the voiceless. Proud of a @mwwesterner legend!

[Dan Mihalopoulos @dmihalopoulos]

I’m a bit of a fish out of water outside the Midwest - and a small fish in the big NYC pond.

But here we are, repping @WBEZ and Chicago
