CSLV: New Maine West AD; Golf Graduate Notes; New Logo

Cornell/CSL connection on the hardwood growing.

OF NOTE

Guess who has a new logo? That’s right, it’s The CSL Varsity Newsletter.

Note

Correction: I misstated a coaching change that was updated on the web previously. Jimmie Hawthorne is the Niles North girls track and field coach. I named an incorrect person when referring to a mistaken position change. 

NEW WARRIOR ALERT

Maine West has a new athletic director. Dion Martorano shared details about new Warriors AD Darrell Mathis Jr., who replaced Jarett Kirshner.

IVY COVERED NOTES

Cornell women’s basketball has dipped its toes into not only Illinois, but notably the CSL in the last 2 years. Already with Maine South 2023 graduate Emily Pape thriving in her freshman season for the Big Red, Cornell has recently offered Evanston 2024 guard Zuri Ransom and others from frequent CSL foes like Loyola Academy and Hersey.

If you’ll recall, New Trier 2023 graduate Jake Fiegen is joining the Cornell men’s basketball program this season and 2022 Glenbrook South graduate Cooper Noard is set to be a sophomore for the Big Red.

GRAD CATCH-UPS 

Highland Park graduate Bradley Goldstein, set to be a graduate senior for Stetson this upcoming fall, finished 6th at the 92nd Illinois State Amateur Championship
at Bloomington Country Club, finishing even par for the event.

Glenbrook North graduate Evan Myers, an incoming senior this year at Texas A&M, finished 5th at USGA Amateur Qualifying at Briarwood Country Club.
