Tonight both programs stepped up and supported the Momence Girls Basketball Teams and wore red and black ribbons for Amari Crite. So proud of all our girls for showing support during this difficult time!

Feeling for the broadcasters who just had a barrage of players from both teams run into their table. Richwoods still maintains their healthy margin. Lathan Sommerville has 18 for the Knights and JC Anderson has 16 for MTZ.

Should be a fun game between two talented teams. Beecher still remains the only undefeated team in the state after beating Grant Park 79-44.

gbb teams will be playing from tonight onto tomorrow in Peoria!
This is possibly the best girls basketball the IHSA has to offer and it’s all going to be in the 309 tonight and tomorrow.
It’s not often that a regular IHSA GBB game is played in a college venue. Usually college venues for IHSA use are saved for later in the postseason. Tonight is one of those nights that a regular season game is played in a college venue as Lincoln and PND girls go at it in RenCo.
The top 5 teams from the 1A St. Anne girls track and field sectional are as follows:
5. Milford (47)
4. Westville (60)
3. Paxton-Buckley-Loda (88)
2. Salt Fork (95)
