Pearl City's Fallyn Endress should probably have scrambled eggs and cheese for breakfast more often. "I was just feeling it," Endress said with a grin. "I was hot during warm up and just stayed that way." The senior guard tallied 24 points to lead all players in the Wolves' conference home win over Lena-Winslow 50-44. The first half was an offensive explosion for both teams. Pearl City repeatedly used their height advantage to score inside, and when Endress began forcing turnovers, she was...
River Ridge senior, Joe Winter, is quickly developing a reputation for freezing opponents out of the victory column. And behind a 27 point effort, Stockton learned the hard way what can happen when he, "decides to play." "Yeah, Joe can do just about anything he wants to when he sets his mind to it," said Wildcat head coach Jacob Green. At the outset of the game, Stockton looked to contain the Wildcat size advantage by playing a zone defense, but Winter repeatedly got the ball inside and either...
The Orangeville Broncos forced Pecatonica into 16 turnovers in the game, and held superstar Elaina Rager to 16 points on the night. So, you would think – seeing those stats – that the Broncos had a good night. You'd be wrong. The Broncos shot a paltry 28% from the floor, and only made 1 of 15 from behind the three point arc, as what was supposed to be the knock-down, drag-out, battle for the top spot in the North turned into an ugly 40-24 blow out that both teams were unhappy with. "Sixteen tur...
The main point of any sports story should never be the referees. The game between the Pecatonica and Stockton girls basketball teams was supposed to be a top five show down, full of hot shooters and star players making big plays. But, instead, the story of the game was how Pecatonica was able to adjust to the physicality of play being allowed, by the men in stripes much better than Stockton. Make no mistake, the officiating was not one sided, it was not unfair, it was perfectly bad both ways....

Everybody who has ever watched an Orangeville Bronco Girl's Basketball game this season knows – Laney Cahoon is their most dangerous player, and Nadalee Doyle is only one step behind. And while both of them had their typical double digit scoring performances, it was the play of the "X-factor," the supporting cast, that allowed them to pull away from Dakota 52-39 in NUIC North action. Dakota has been flying under the radar most of the season, but this team is young, and has some serious t...
Lena-Winslow fans were treated to an overtime thriller Tuesday night in Lena as the Panthers rallied back late to force overtime against Winnebago, then did everything within their power to give the game back before stealing the 62-60 victory. Bago claimed a 28-24 halftime lead, and then never trailed in regulation. Lena-Winslow was able to tie the game twice in the fourth quarter, but each time they did the Indians had an answer to reclaim the lead again. The last go ahead basket looked like...
The RR/SM Lady Wildcats made a trip to Pecatonica to battle the Indians in a non-conference tilt that might be a Sectional sneak peak as both teams are ranked in the state, and both have the potential to claim Regional crowns. And while, on paper, it looked like an amazing match-up, turnovers were the story. Pecatonica gave the Wildcats a taste of their own medicine in a 41-31 thumping that really wasn't as close as the final score. "Wiegel is a good coach and his team plays hard for the whole...
Conference basketball got into full swing Thursday night, and while Eastland may never be challenged in the South, and it will be a four team race for second in the North, the NUIC West is going to be a season long battle among five major contenders. "You've got East Dubuque, Galena, Warren, us and the Ridge," said Scales Mound head coach Erik Kudronowicz. "So, yeah, being able to hold court and win on your home floor is huge. If we had lost tonight, we'd be playing catch up the rest of the seas...

At halftime of their battle against Fulton in Lena, the Panthers were down only two after having shot horrendously in the first half. Athletic Director, Ryan Hahne called out to senior guard Jaylen Rakowska who was warming up for the second half and said, "Hey, why don't you make a shot?" "I'm trying to," Rakowska answered back. "He'll be fine," Hahne turned and said. "Sometimes you just have to piss them off." Sure enough, Rakowska hit the first three shots of the second half for the Panthers ...
The Forreston Cardinal 2-3 zone defense was limiting opportunities for the Eastland Cougars in the second half, and suddenly what had been a comfortable 29-18 halftime lead was in jeopardy when the Cardinals cut it to 31-27 with 3:59 to play in the third quarter. Eastland had forced nine Cardinal turnovers in the first half, but after Adam Awender hit the first basket of the second half, Forreston went on a 9-0 scoring run that brought their fans into full voice, and forced the Cougars to...

The Dakota Indians are a very strong basketball team – long, big, athletic, and strong shooting from the perimeter – they made the competition look foolish at the Scales Mound Turkey Tournament during Thanksgiving week, and stood at 4-0 on the season. But they had never gone up against Spiderman, Venom and the rest of the Eastland Cougars. "You can't simulate that kind of speed in practice," said head coach Mike Bartell. "I mean, there are some teams that might have two quick guards, but their e...
Every coach knows that you don't stand a chance against them unless you stop Laney Cahoon and Nadalee Doyle. Lena-Winslow, for all practical purposes, did that – holding the pair down to a combined point total of only 21 in the game. They still got blown out. Alyse Cahoon and Kaylynn O'Haver went off – each of them hitting three long range three point bombs – as the senior roll players tied with eleven points each. "They kept sitting in that zone defense," Bronco head coach Jay Doyle said. "When...
While Nadalee Doyle is a force in her own right, area coaches all agree that the biggest threat on the Orangeville Broncos is senior guard, Laney Cahoon. Similarly, the RR/SM Wildcats have a lot of talented young players who are destined for the All-Conference teams, but right now – the conversation begins and ends with senior Laiken Haas. So, when you get a chance to see those two stars play against each other ... it makes for must see girl's basketball. And Tuesday night in Orangeville – nei...
The curse of having so much football success is that you tend to be late to the game in basketball. The Lena-Winslow Panthers finally opened their season Friday night at River Ridge, and it also marked the debut of new Varsity head coach, Mark Blakely. "People asked me, but I really wasn't nervous before the game," Blakely said. "To me, it was just another basketball game, and I trust my kids." That confidence was reinforced as the Panthers scored off of the opening tip of the game, and never lo...

Practice is great, every coach will tell you that, but sometimes the lessons that sink in the quickest are the ones that take place during a game. The Warren Lady Warriors passed their test with flying colors Tuesday night with an impressive 44-37 non-conference win over Milledgeville in which they led from start to finish. At the opening tip, both teams were full court pressing each other, but Warren used their press to jump out to the early lead thanks in large part to a transition basket...
