Yorkville took advantage of a short-handed St. Francis squad to roll to a comfortable win on the opening night of the Brenda Whitesell Thanksgiving Tournament at Hinsdale South on Tuesday.

St. Charles North's full-court defense picked up 21 steals, with Sydney Johnson having seven and Bronwyn How taking five, to stifle Prairie Ridge's offense in a 54-16 victory at the Burlington Central Tournament.

St. Charles East freshman forward Brooklyn Schilb almost had a double-double in her varsity debut, but it wasn't enough as the Saints fell to Waubonsie Valley 77-61 in their season opener Monday.
