Plainfield School District 202 considers what to do about students who don't pay athletic or club fees; one option could mean students will be forced to withdraw from their sport.
The Plainfield School District 202 school board and administration are considering options when it comes to student athletes who do not pay for the sport they play. This year, the district issued $350,000 in fees for high school students who participate in athletics or clubs, and nearly half, or $172,000, of those fees still have not been paid, said Angela Smith, the district’s assistant superintendent for business and operations. Sign up for the Plainfield Patch newsletter For the district’s four football teams alone, $40,000 out of $87,000 in fees issued has not been collected, Smith said. Supt. John Harper said those families who have not demonstrated any financial hardship, who do not qualify for waivers or who have not asked for a …

Bolingbrook 85, Romeoville 33. The Bolingbrook Lady Raiders emerged with district bragging rights and an IHSA Regional title behind Morgan Tuck's 19 points.
The Hot Read: Apparently, only a pulled fire alarm could stop the red-hot Lady Raiders. With 2:34 remaining in the second quarter—after Taylor Tuck made a free throw—a fire alarm went off at Plainfield East High School, causing a 21-minute delay in the game. But the pause was just a minor setback for Bolingbrook, which scorched the nets early and often—a 25-1 run in the first quarter propelled the two-time defending state champs to a 27-6 lead it would never relinquish. Junior Morgan Tuck scored a game-high 19 points to lead Bolingbrook, while sophomore Kiera Currie's 16 points wasn't enough to spur Romeoville to an upset victory. Patch's MVP: Seniors Taylor Tuck and Ariel Massengale combined to score 23 points, grab six steals and pull …

Keira Curry was too much for the Reavis defense and scored a game-high 16 points to go with 13 rebounds in Romeoville's 68-39 win over Reavis High School.
The Hot Read: Reavis fell behind by 12 points in the first quarter and never recovered as Romeoville rode a sophomore wave to victory. Joanna Sochacka led a valiant effort by the Rams, but they had no answer for Keira Curry as she ran through and around the Reavis defense to lead her team to a 15-point halftime lead. Abby Smith chipped in 12 points as Romeoville routed Reavis 68-39. Patch’s MVP: Keira Curry was too much for the Reavis defense and scored a game high 16 points to go with 13 rebounds. She also overwhelmed the Rams defensively, swiping four steals and dishing five assists in the Spartans win. Key stats: Ball-handling was the key to this game from start to finish. Romeoville had just eight turnovers compared to Reavis’ 30. …

Jerry - Education benefits the community, football, acting, etc. does not. So what if the kid feels left out because the parents can't pay? Kids are not in school to feel good, they are there to learn. More schools need to remember that and focus on teaching ONLY. more ›
