A sharp student of the games she has played through the years, Chesterton junior Claire Vrahoretis no doubt has heard coaches, teammates and supporters from outside the lines tell her, “’Atta way to use your head, Claire!” The words that still apply have taken on new meaning this year. Vrahoretis scored three header goals early in the season. If those […]

Running 5,000 meters up and down hills, over tree roots and rocks, at a decent pace in a big race hurts. But it doesn’t hurt as badly as not running, per doctors […]

Candy Wilson has been coaching girls high school basketball long enough to know not to fall for the fool’s gold that the scoreboard is at times.

When the Chesterton High courtyard is awash with bright colors in the spring and more bulbs are popping than at a Taylor Swfit publicity opportunity, will anyone stop to wonder how it grew so beautiful?

Nobody gave more to the Chesterton football team the past three years than defensive end/special teams standout Owen Edlen, who played his last high school football game in Friday night’s 28-21 loss at Valparaiso in the sectional championship game. Edlen’s strong work ethic maximized his natural strength and unusual quickness for an athlete who is trying to add weight to […]
