Duneland Battle: Crown Point vs Chesterton | Chicago News

The Duneland Athletic Conference is heating up with a fierce rivalry between defending champs Crown Point and revenge-seeking Chesterton, both loaded with star talent and hungry for another deep run. Crown Point returns key seniors like Kayliyah Deshields and Cailin Duncan without their coach, while Chesterton’s Michigan recruit Luca Bombacino and Butler recruit Madison Gilliam lead a squad determined to flip the script after last year’s five-set loss. Lake Central brings back Kailey Skurka, Hanover Central looks dominant with Liliana Chorba and Nora Edgerton, and Illiana Christian aims to rebound from a tough sectional final. Young stars are also rising—LaPorte’s sophomores Evelyn Shirk and Lauren Kirk, and Marquette Catholic’s Olivia Zmuda with her standout digs—are already making waves. This season promises drama, experience, and breakout performances across the board. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
