Senior Mark Pagano has lined up at just about every offensive position this season for DHS.
Marc Pagano may only stand at 5'8" and he may only weigh 150 pounds, but his importance to the Deerfield football team is beyond measure. "He's our Mr. Everything," Warriors Head Coach Steve Winiecki said. Pagano has certainly lived up to that nickname so far this season. The senior captain has been the most important part of the Warriors offensive attack so far this season. He returns kicks. He returns punts. He's a duel threat halfback who can beat you by taking handoffs or catching the ball out of the backfield. And when Deerfield was missing starting quarterback Brad Holway for the first three weeks of the season, Pagano took the snaps, even though he had never played quarterback before. In his first game under center, Pagano ran for …

As the No. 15 seed in the class 3A Mundelein Regional, the Deerfield girls soccer team wasn't expected to make much noise.

The Warriors were riding a six-game winning streak into their semifinal matchup with the Scouts and Deerfield Head Coach Rich Grady could not have asked for much more from his team down the final stretch of the 2011 season. "You always like to be playing your best soccer at the end of the season," Grady said. "I know that with this group we got that." Deerfield (13-9-2) was in control of the game for much of the first half, but missed out on several scoring opportunities. They …

Two sophomores are leading the way for the Deerfield soccer team this season; one is scoring goals and the other is stopping them.
Deerfield girls soccer coach Rich Grady has been trying to get his defense ready before the conference schedule begins the last week of April, but it hasn't been easy. "From last years team we graduated an all-state goalkeeper," Grady said, listing the changes that have been made on defense this year. "We graduated a four-year starter who was a sweeper, another four-year starter who was a defender and a three-year starter who was a defender. So it's new combinations at the back and we're figuring out how to play together." Replacing all-state goalie Emily Gilbert is sophomore Skyller Hughes. She's posted four shutout wins this season and the video to the right shows her athletic potential. Offensively, the Warriors are also led by …

Warriors see early success in 2011, head lacrosse coach Krista Settles reflects on development.
Deerfield girls lacrosse head coach Krista Settles has been coaching the team since its first year of existence in 2003. During that time, the Warriors have gone from having one JV team to now fielding full rosters on every level of competition. "This sport has grown a ton in eight years," Settles said. "We just got a feeder program which will really help our sport and really help our area so that girls will be practicing and playing prior to getting to high school." The vast majority of players Settles has coachED during her eight years have little or no game experience in lacrosse. Her main goal has been to develop skill and discipline that can be passed down from one class to the next. Her group of six seniors this year are all on …

The Deerfield boys lacrosse team is quickly establishing itself as a team to be reckoned with this season.
