The Bears are in must-win mode this week at Arizona. Can you guess the score? Closest prediction to the outcome wins a Patch T-shirt!
The Bears need to win their final two games of the season and get help from other teams losing just to make the playoffs. Who thought we'd be saying that after a 7-1 start?

Wheaton South freshman Keisha Clousing took the new state champion, Jasmine Minor, to a tiebreaker in their championship match on Saturday.
This much is certain after Keisha Clousing and Carmel senior Jasmine Minor concluded their nearly 2 ½-hour match for the state girls tennis singles championship on Saturday afternoon: Clousing will be the favorite to win a state title each of the next three years. The freshman from Wheaton Warrenville South gave Minor—36-0 going into their matchup—all she could handle before Minor prevailed 6-3, 7-6 (7-5). In the tiebreaker, Clousing fought back from match point three times, but Minor finally smashed a backhand past her to secure the set and the state crown. Minor, who finished third in the state as a sophomore in '08 but didn't play for Carmel last year so she could compete in national tourneys, handed Clousing (35-2) her second loss of …
