| Belleville News-Democrat Verified
One of the enduring quirks, among many, about U-46 girls lacrosse is that it's a team with no name. Its players are from all over Illinois' second-largest school district, spread throughout Chicago's northwest suburbs, and as a co-op team it is without a mascot.

And so when the girls of U-46 break a huddle, forgive the limitation of their rallying cry.

INDIANAPOLIS — The last time Illinois reached the Final Four, in 2005, the Illini’s best-known fan showed up to the national semifinals looking dapper. Bill Murray, an ardent Chicago and Illinois sports enthusiast, longtime bon vivant, a man of many talents and many roles, had that going for him. Which was nice. He donned a rumpled but refined plaid sport coat over a pale orange vest and a brighter orange — Illinois orange — tie, replete with an orange Champaign Country Club hat.
