While the passing game was non-existent for Lane Tech Football in their season opener, the Champions were able to find enough yardage on the ground for a win. Led by senior Finn Merrill, Lane’s rushing attack put up 35 points on five rushing touchdowns in a 35-26 win over Amundsen.

One good pitch was all Josh Katz needed to close out the city title.

With a 2-1 count in the top of the seventh inning, right-handed junior Katz stepped off the mound at historic Wrigley Field to plan his delivery. With the loud crowd cheering him on, Katz stepped back on the mound and threw a rocket of a strike which Brooks College Prep outfielder Kendall Larry was barely able to foul off.

With the count going to 2-2, the crowd went silent, knowing that this pitch could determine the outcome of the game and the winner of the CPL title. Katz, on his 114th pitch of the day, delivered a hummer of a pitch and Larry grounds out to third basemen Louie Derechin, ending the game and sealing Lane’s 2-1 victory. Consequently, a horde of Lane’s players ran onto the field to celebrate their City Championship win, placing May 23 into Lane Tech history.

As Lane looks for their first Girls Soccer regiona

As Lane looks for their first Girls Soccer regional title since 2013, the classic sports cliché may be just the story Lane needs to follow.

Wednesday night, two early goals — from Scout Murray and Dale Sink — built a lead Lane would never relinquish against the St. Ignatius Wolfpack in a IHSA 3A Regional Semifinal at Lane Stadium.

Now it will be the defense’s turn, as Lane will attempt to hold off Eastern Michigan commit and Maine South single-season goal record holder Molly Pistorious at tonight’s Regional Final game.

Read the full recap and view photo gallery of Wednesday’s game at the link in the bio.
