WAUKEGAN, ILL. — Ken Hutchison said the conviction Friday of James Ealy for killing Hutchison’s wife, Mary, six-and-a-half years ago brought the family little, if any, peace.

Manny Santana and Andy Blank teamed up for a four-hitter as the third-seeded Hawks topped sixth-seeded Racine Lutheran, 3-1, in a WIAA Division-2 regional quarterfinal at Indian Trail.
