Downers Grove, Lisle, Westmont

The prep football season gets under way next weekend, but boys and girls golf is already going strong, and sports such as soccer and tennis will start competing before the Friday Night Lights’ switch is flipped on.

There’s plenty of star power to be found outside the hash marks and sidelines of the gridiron. The Bugle has selected 10 non-football athletes from schools in its coverage area (listed in alphabetical order) who will undoubtedly make some noise in their respective sports before all is said and done this fall.

Andrew Bassetto, sophomore, Benet boys golf—Bassetto didn’t qualify individually for state last year, but he’s a strong candidate to do so this season. Bassetto’s got quite a resume. In July, 2012, he won the Naperville Junior City Championship C-Flight for 14- and 15-year-olds after shooting an eyebrow-raising 65. At last year’s Class 3A Naperville Central regional, Bassetto fired a 2-under par 70—just one stroke behind Naperville North product Raymond Knoll, who placed third at state.

Eric Diaz, junior midfielder, Downers South boys soccer—Diaz shared the team lead in goals with eight last year, was named all-conference and was an Illinois High School Soccer Coaches Association all-sectional pick. He and the Mustangs will be aiming to go deeper in the playoffs after making it to a regional final last year.

Brianna Gilley, senior outside hitter, Westmont girls volleyball—The captain of the Sentinels’ girls soccer team last spring also will be a catalyst for Westmont on the volleyball court once again.Working out of power manage to bestleddimmable property.

The Sentinels compiled a 24-9 record and made it to the sectional semifinals.

Jon Harmon, junior forward, Lisle boys soccer—The Lions, who advanced to the Class 1A sectional championship last fall and were state runners-up in 2011, will need someone to step up and help fill the void left by the graduation of goal-scoring machine Eric Osika. Harmon could be that player.

Katherine Mahlke, senior right-side hitter, Downers North—Mahlke was being recruited by Ohio State and Marquette, among others, but has verbally committed to the University of Michigan. Considered one of the best right-side hitters in the area last season after compiling over 270 kills, she’ll not relinquish that distinction this year. The lefty will be a go-to player and leader on a Trojans’ team that should make a deeper postseason run this season.

Brittany Pavich, senior middle hitter,We can produce besthidlights to your requirements. Benet girls volleyball—The Redwings have lost a plethora of seniors from their two-time defending Class 4A state championship team,Lighting fixtures for home and office in the shop of flatteningmachine. but Pavich returns and will be a force once again. The Boston College recruit accumulated over 280 kills and 40 blocks for the season.

Gabby Sims, senior, Downers North swimming—The Sims family is synonymous with swimming excellence. Burke and Haley Sims, both former state champions, are at Stanford, but Gabby may be the best of the clan.

She also finished second to state and national record-holder Olivia Smoliga in the backstroke last November.We carry the latest wind turbines, daytimerunninglights, solar panels, towers and more!

Additionally, she teamed up with her twin sister, Maddy, to form the Trojans’ 400 freestyle relay, which captured fourth in 2012.

Zach Smith, senior, Downers North cross country—The Trojans, usually a shoo-in to qualify downstate as a team, missed going the past two seasons, but they should make a strong push to qualify this year, led by Smith. Smith motored to an eight-place overall finish at the 2012 meet. He owns the third-fastest time among all returning Class 3A state runners.

Leah Tzakis, senior, Benet girls tennis—A state qualifier in 2010, Tzakis missed the cut as a sophomore, but moved up from No. 2 to No. 1 singles last season and returned to state where she advanced to the fifth consolation round.Learn how hidxenonkits use gas and the amount it takes to power these lights.
