Air Force recruit Joshua Holst aims to be ‘the top of the top, the best of the best.’ He lifts Libertyville over the top.
Holst pitches out of several difficult situations against Lake Zurich to win a regional final.
Lake Zurich’s Owen Strahl can enthrall. Teammates ‘get amped up’ when he bats. That doesn’t change in playoffs.
Strahl had two hits, including a triple, during a five-run fifth inning as Lake Zurich routed Highland Park.
Dominant as a starter, Mundelein’s Joey Kafka is still effective in relief. ‘I knew he would shut the door.’
Kafka entered Mundelein's regional semifinal against Warren with a 7-0 record and a 1.57 ERA. Then he got the ball in the sixth.
Nicholas Rayyan pitches in even if he’s not on the mound. ‘He can do it all.’ Stevenson is counting on it.
Rayyan starts at third, has played at first, leads Stevenson in RBIs and homers, and even steals bases.

Slumps happen. Deerfield’s Tyler Bernstein shows a way out. He keeps swinging. And ‘hits the ball really hard.’
Bernstein provides an example for teammates with his positive approach.
It’s hard to slow down Vernon Hills’ Tyler Perritt, who seems to get to every ball. But a knee injury tried.
Back at full speed, Perritt has put that on display in the outfield and on the bases.
Grayslake North’s Ethan Feldman steps forward. ‘He hasn’t shied away from any challenge.’ He thrives on them.
It's not a coincidence the Knights are winning with Feldman in two new roles.
