I Googled around and found a story that said the dog was bitten in the leg and needed treatment, but survived. The man had bite marks as well, but was OK. I'll just hope that story is right.

- At some schools, the announcer tones down when the opposing team scores. Last night at Marian Catholic, they stopped play after Marist's Elise Ward scored her 1,000th point, and PA man Michael Blais led the crowd in a large ovation. Now THAT'S class. Well done, Marian nation!
- Felt blessed, honored and loved to be recognized before Oak Forest's game tonight against Hillcrest for starting my 50th year covering Southland high school sports...
- Look at this... just look at this. Warms your heart about youth in this world... Congrats to McAuley.

- Down here at Illinois State University to cover Mother McAuley at the state girls volleyball finals. It's surreal to think that this weekend are my final live events as a full-time writer. Where did the years go!
- Felt very honored and humbled today to receive this award, especially since it was presented by my incredible boss, Bill Scheibe. I'm proud and blessed to be a member of the Chicago Tribune team!
- I don't care how many clicks it gets, this is one story I wish I didn't have to write. My heart aches for those Lemont kids, especially the seniors...
- Now that softball season is over, I'd like to thank the coaches and players who were so kind and helpful this spring. Gregg Voss and I were able to write a lot of cool stories that hopefully brought out the fun side of this amazing sport. Can't wait to do it again next spring!

- What a great softball season it's been! I always enjoy it, but this was truly a special spring. I kept track, and the Southtown had 67 players who were featured in a story, a notebook, or as Player of the Week. Thanks to all the coaches and kids who were so much fun to be around!
