It's a blessing to have a daughter who is also your beam coach.
DeKalb-Sycamore coach Andy Morreale brought Jessica Morreale to the Lake Park sectional on Monday night for the first time this season, and it helped the team stay on the beam to get past the host Lancers, 143.675 to 142.25.
DeKalb-Sycamore scored 2.1 points better on beam than it did at the regional while all four of its all-arounders outscored last week's totals. Simpson led the way and was second overall. Eden Russell was fifth to qualify for state in the all-around along with Simpson. Leah Benson and Gianna Goff also came through in the clutch. Russell won bars with a 9.425.
"We had about a two-point lift from our regional," Lancers coach Jake Luketin said."I think we have a good shot. I've been saying all year this is a great group of girls. They're really young. Our theme right now is we want be early because I know next year we're going to have a great team but if we can get in one year early that gives them that experience a year early.
Glenbard West was third and followed by Glenbard North , Wheaton Warrenville co-op and Oak Park-River Forest .
