Homewood-Flossmoor girls wrestling enters the new season with a clear goal: turn last year’s regular-season success into a stronger postseason finish.

The Vikings went 12-2 in dual meets, won multiple tournaments and claimed a regional team title, but fell short of expectations at sectionals.

Coach Scott Aronson has described that finish as deeply disappointing, giving the team a lesson to carry into this winter.

Experienced wrestlers Kendra Hayden, Amara Nwoye and Madelyn McClements return to help lead H-F through the demands of another season.

For the Homewood and Flossmoor community, the Vikings have already shown they can win; the challenge now is to perform when postseason pressure rises.

Homewood Public Library offered neighbors two ways to try something creative on Nov. 6: an adult improv session and Crafty Tots for young children.

The improv class welcomed beginners, seniors, neurodiverse adults and experienced performers to experiment with unscripted scenes in a supportive setting.

It ran from 10 to 11 a.m. in the library’s meeting room at 17917 Dixie Highway.

Crafty Tots offered families a short creative outing from 10:30 to 11:15 a.m., though the listing did not specify a project.

Both sessions have passed, so residents interested in future library activities should confirm dates and details before making plans.
