    because my town's high school won their first basketball state championship!!!!! They haven't been to a final four since 1916. Final two games they knocked off #1 ranked Chicago Hales Franciscan and beat traditional powerhouse, 5 time state champ, 2nd ranked Peoria Manual for the championship. The center is 7'0" tall and already committed to play for Illinois. This is a big deal in our town and for the whole county. Congrats to the Robinson Maroons!!!! Most likely a once in a lifetime happening for my community.

    That was pretty cool to see. Breese gave Peoria Manual all they wanted, I expected a blowout in that game.

    Watch for Cahokia this weekend, they are the sleeper to win it all IMO.

    I happened to be home last weekend and caught the game at the Hollywood. The owner said that was the most people he has had in there in 3 years at one time. Great game! Congrats RHS!! You want to place a wager that Derek Hannas just became a two sport athlete at Ball State next year?
