A quick break from high school tweets for this photo of my sons and I on the court celebrating the Illini’s win over iowa and big ten title last night in Champaign. What a great memory this will be.

At South Elgin tonight for 4A girls basketball between 28-5 @bhsfilliesbball and 22-6 @stcegirlshoops. Whoever wins advances to state for first time…would never have guessed that considering how successful Barrington and Saints have been in their girls athletic programs.
