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

Like many Illinois high schools girls basketball teams on this Thursday night, Wheaton Warrenville South and host Naperville Central were trying to make the most of the regular season finale for both teams with the postseason just days away.The Tigers (15-14 overall) went home with a 51-27 victory and some momentum entering regional play.

What Claire Hyde has accomplished on the basketball court for Wheaton North is quite impressive, but the way she acted during her crowning moment on Saturday was just as impressive.

The Wheaton Warrenville South girls basketball program is a family, even if the members may not be directly related.The Tigers celebrated their 50th season of existence in a special ceremony at halftime of their 57-42 victory over Maine South on Tuesday. Former head coach Jim Allured — one of only four the program has ever had — was on hand and the memories were flowing like fine wine.

Campbell Bastian paused briefly before diving into why the 3-point shot is perhaps her top one. “That’s probably my best shot, honestly,” Bastian said following Wheaton Warrenville South’s 39-27 victory over previously unbeaten St. Charles East on Friday. “I have a lot of confidence in it, so when I’m ready to go, I’m ready.”

Zosia Wrobel loves playing against Wheaton Warrenville South. Geneva’s 6-foot senior forward tamed the Tigers for 20 points on Tuesday night to lead the Vikings to a 52-28 romp in Geneva – and seems to be at her absolute best when facing the DuKane Conference foe. Wrobel, who scored a career-high 25 against the Tigers when the teams last played in Mach, knocked down four of her six three-pointers in the first quarter as the Vikings opened up a 10-0 lead and never looked back.

Erin Stack knew St. Charles North needed a momentum boost entering the locker room down 3 points at the half.

Wheaton Warrenville South defeated Schaumburg 44-39 at the Saxons Thanksgiving Classic. It was the first game of the season for both teams.
