Centennial boys' 🏀 getting ready to host Peoria Manual. The Chargers (3-1) played so well against Rantoul the other day that their fans broke part of the bleachers in excitement. The Rams (1-1) finished 4th in 2A last year, so fans should get rowdy again. @ngpreps

Halftime: #Illini 55, Belarmine 23. There were some good moments in that first half. But Illinois also missed a lot of layups and lost a few three-point shooters defensively
