If I'm not mistaken, that guarantees Metamora at least a tie for the M.I. Championship. And eliminates Washington from contention.

You are correct.

Metamora is conference champs. Win or lose against Morton, Metamora comes out on top.

Peoria area regional Is packed with great teams. Tough wins. I will say that a Peoria area team will win the Bradley Sectionals.

The only team in the area that has a good run to super sectional is Morton. Biggest game would be Morton and SHG.

Was at the Morton Shootout yesterday. Watched Notre Dame/Washington. Saw the Irish had a couple players out, however hard to believe that any high school team starting three 6’8” players couldn’t score more than 38 points. When opposing team holds the ball because they can’t compete with the defens...

When was the last time Pekin didn’t play in the Hawkins gym. This will hurt the cash flow of the tournament.

Washington Manual game tonight postponed. Apparently a significant sickness outbreak at WCHS Never saw that coming :roll: Please elaborate. TIA 1000’s of people moving in and out of Torrey gym for 5 days and talk of remote learning for a couple weeks when school resumed. Just saw it coming after wa...

Never saw that coming

I gave them credit where credit was due. The coaching doesn't seem to be the problem the lack of talent in basketball seems to be the problem. I'm sure you're a dad who thinks his child is amazing and the program is good but in reality, they never place well in basketball. I have been to games to w...

Even though Metamora went 1-3 in the tournament, I believe they have a solid team. The tournament was a great learning experience for them and they will be hard to beat. By the way, hats off to Kankakee for playing in the tournament with some players up north handling business. Especially when four ...

I’ve been to 13 games so far. I’ve seen one player with a mask, a couple of coaches, a couple officials and a very very small amount of fans by the hundreds. By day 2 you were lucky if you saw anyone wearing a mask. Today no one was wearing one and no mask timeout.

Minus Lewis and playing the number 1 team in Illinois, I thought Washington did great. The Duke kid was great. All games yesterday were good, even Metamora.

Getting ready to go back up now.

Someone has to be on the watch!

I'm betting many would be willing to watch BGB choke on another pork chop.

I was waiting for that. Now that’s funny.

Clutchsports will have a great set up.

East St Louis 69 Peoria Central 18

Metamora 42 Ep 6 Are all the streams without sound? Was happy I could stream it but no sound and could barely see some of the numbers. Surprised more scores are not on the forums this morning. Since I’ve moved out of state this will be my lifeline for football All mid-Illini games are online. Morto...

Pekin and Dunlap looked solid. Better than the game I watched. And yes, I watched both games at once.

Great camera work CLUTCH.

THE TEAM. THERE ARE A FEW Hustlers OUT THERE AND KIDS THAT WANT TO WIN. WHEN WE PLAYED THEM LAST YEAR Dunlap was actually winning. With 1-2 minutes left in the game Dunlap was up by 10 I believe. Instead of dribbling and passing they continued to shoot and make silly fouls. Result was Dunlap lost I...

Pekin should be decent, kind of bummed they don't get to play a full season. Last fall they were suppose to play Peoria Central - that would have been a very interesting game. Dragons have a very good QB coming back (Van Ness) along with some skill and linemen. I would assume Washington, Metamora, ...

I actually pick Pekin first maybe second.

Washington 68 Pekin 36

Washington
@ Limestone
Dunlap
@ Morton
Pekin
Canton
@ Metamora

Welcome back EP maniac!

What’s your thoughts on baseball and football switching this school year. It may feel weird but would give a tier one sport a chance.

Strong article. One thing not mentioned is the advancement of technology and availability to watch everything without being there. You miss the experience but most don’t care.

I don’t believe there are any stand out teams. I will say Pekin at the top. Perhaps Washington second.

I just hope for a season. Heck, I’m not sure basketball will happen. Perhaps I’m being to negative.

Well 'great season' is in the eyes of the beholder! :) I agree, it was an interesting season in that four teams throughout the season were vying for the title. And there were some upsets and tight games between the top teams and lower teams. But 'great' as far as talent and quality teams was not a ...
