Presenting the 2021-2022 DuPage County All-Area Girls Basketball Team

At one point as she dribbled the basketball across the half-court line, Hersey point guard Katy Eidle shouted out for her team to run a play called ‘Wisconsin’. Seems a little funny because Eidle is a Michigan recruit. But there’s nothing funny for opponents when it comes to stopping Eidle. Especially on Saturday at Glenbrook South, as the 6-foot junior put up a career-high 34 points, bettering her previous high of 32 as a freshman against Bartlett. Classmate Meghan Mrowicki added 20 points with 13 rebounds (8 offensive) as Hersey (17-3), ranked No. 3 in Class 4A, rolled past the Titans 67-48 at the Titan Dome in Glenview.

Oswego East grabbed a rebound, and head coach Abe Carretto immediately yelled “go, go, go.”It’s a command Riley Doggett and the Wolves don’t have to be told twice.“We definitely like to push the pace,” said Doggett, Oswego East’s junior guard. “We like to get out there and do our thing. We don’t like to slow things down so other teams can play their pace.”The Wolves certainly dictated that tempo Tuesday morning at the Oswego East Holiday Classic, and Metea Valley simply couldn’t keep up. Oswego East had eight steals and forced 13 turnovers in the first half alone to forge a 22-point halftime lead, and coasted to a 59-24 win.

Waubonsie Valley sophomore guard Hannah Laub stood out for many reasons on Thursday night. Sure, she helped engineer a second-half comeback that led the Mustangs to a 63-53 win over Metea Valley in DuPage Valley Conference action. The left-hander was driving for baskets, hitting 3-pointers — via a swish or a big bounce — and finding teammates for baskets.
