Fremd's boys and girls water polo teams split a doubleheader Saturday at the Conant sectional championships in Hoffman Estates.
The Vikings' girls squad fell 11-4 to a balanced and powerful Hersey crew in the opener. Fremd's boys then won a thriller in the nightcap, edging top-seeded Palatine 10-9 in overtime to secure a state quarterfinal berth next weekend at Stevenson.
The victory avenged a sectional final loss to Palatine last spring. The Vikings will face Lyons' Lions Friday at 5:45 p.m., with a Final Fourth berth on the line in Lincolnshire. "I'd imagine that was a fun game to watch as a spectator," Grzybek added."Both teams can leave today feeling proud." Fremd overcame 7 goals from Pirates senior Cayden Hilgers and a strong effort from Palatine sophomore Will Mason .
A scoreboard glitch delayed the start of the morning's girls sectional final by 22 minutes. But it didn't throw Hersey's Huskies off in the least, as they advanced to the state finals for the third consecutive season with an 11-4 triumph. "Clare Corley is out-of-control good on defense," said Brownley, a 2003 Buffalo Grove graduate who guided Hersey to a program-best fourth-place finish at state in 2021 and lost 22 seniors to graduation last spring."Clare doesn't allow anyone to get by her, she contests shots, and she calls switches."
