Just wondering

By Steve Tucker

When is the last time that Waukegan and Wauconda started the football season 3-0?

I know that Otto Graham played at Waukegan, but I’ll bet it’s been a while

And Koz looks like he has Wauconda headed toward the state playoffs. The big showdown in that league will come Sept. 21 when Grant comes to Wauconda

Waukegan has a big test Saturday when it hosts Glenbrook North (2-1) fresh off its upset win over Maine South

Another when is the last time is when is the last time Thornton started a season 0-3?

It was 15 years since the Wildcats started 0-2 before this season

Bulls

‘San Antonio DeMar’ to the rescue in turning around the Bulls season?

It’s easy to forget DeMar DeRozan’s three seasons with the Spurs and coach Gregg Popovich, but it admittedly taught the veteran what it truly means to be a leader and playmaker. Is that the formula for the Bulls moving forward, and can Zach LaVine join in the unselfishness when he’s able to return?
