Chicago Bulls are looking toward rebuilding with the off season moves of cleaning house in the front office and Coach Billy Donvan looking to move on and choosing not to be part of the rebuild. Bulls Ceo Michael Reinsdorf is now tabbed at trying to restore this once proud franchise and with the 4th and 15th picks in the first round the Bulls have an opportunity to build on the talents of Josh Giddy and Matzas Buzelis. New President of operations needs to rebuild the roster after the fire sale at the trade deadline. Bryson Graham is looking to retool the entire organization and seems to be following the Blueprint of former Bulls General Manager Jerry Krause and focusing on organization and long-term success.

Oswego Girls softball added more hardware to this emerging dynasty with finishing fourth place for another deep run into the playoffs. Oswego won the state championship last year and over the past five seasons have finished in the top four in the other four seasons. The Lady Panthers have done this through developing strong athletes and great residents of the community. The Panthers have developed the program working with Park District and Club teams to help the young lady learn the fundamentals of the game. Great pitching, solid defense and a focus on timely hitting is the formula for the success of the Lady Panther Softball team. With the foundation in place the Lady Panthers will have success in the years to come. Thank you so much for a great season and we look forward to continuing to watch this program produce so many great members and future leaders for our community.
