It wasn't supposed to be that close, but there again, Eastland wasn't supposed to turn the ball over more than 40 times in the game either. But the Cougars found themselves trailing to a fast and slappy Sterling Newman squad twice in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter. With 2:05 to play, the Cougars were down one 37-36 and needed an answer – they found it in the form of senior guard Lily Mullen who drove in and made a running short floater to give the lead back to Eastland at 38-37. But N...
The RR/SM Wildcats have used a full court press all season to help propel their offense. And Monday night in Mount Carroll, Polo was the latest team to witness first hand how the constant pressure never lets up – just always hustling, waiting for you to make a mistake which allows them to go on a defensive mini-run. The first strike hit at the 3:12 mark of the first period with the score 3-2 in Polo's favor. Laiken Haas hit a free throw to tie it, then a quick steal got the ball to Gwen M...
Twice before the Lena-Winslow Panthers had charged out to an 8-0 lead against the Pecatonica Indians, only to see the Indians charge back and claim the win. So, when once again Lena-Winslow opened the game with a quick 8-0 run, there was more than a few Rolaids being consumed as Pecatonica followed the same script. Elaina Rager is a star, anybody trying to deny that knows nothing about basketball, and with her team trailing 8-0, she put them on her back – tying the game at 13-13 on a three p...
Aquin had little trouble in blowing past the host Dakota Indians in the Regional semi-finals. To be fair, Dakota is incredibly young, with only one senior on the roster, while the Bulldogs start four of them. The end result, was a game that was over early. Aquin held a quick 8-0 lead before Dakota was even able to take a shot. The score climbed to 15-0 before Dakota finally scored. And if not for a last second floater at the end of the first quarter by Dakota's Finley Banks, it would have been...
The beauty of the IHSA post season is the excitement of winning a championship and battling for a chance to play at State. But the very painful element of the post season is that at some point ... every team but one is going to lose. The Aquin Bulldogs and Lena-Winslow Panthers are both very class acts – strong coaching of some excellent kids both on and off the court. So, when they squared off in the championship of the Dakota Regional ... someone was going to be heartbroken, but it took a l...
Wildcat fans were nervous. After all their RR/SM squad had just played the entire second quarter and only scored two points on a pair of free throws by Laiken Haas. They had not scored a single basket. In fact, they had turned the ball over more times than they actually shot the ball. "Well, they had picked up their defensive intensity and it was giving us some problems," said head coach David Wiegel. "But we were still playing well, I honestly wasn't concerned. I don't want to sound arrogant,...
The IHSA Board of Directors recently approved the formation of an IHSA State Series in the sport of Girls Flag Football, beginning in the fall of 2024! The IHSA was proud to partner with the Chicago Bears today in making a formal announcement at a press event at Halas Hall. It is also worth noting that you can now add a Girls Flag Football Coach to your school directory in the IHSA Schools Center. Adding that information will be very helpful, as it will help us provide direct communication/seek...

The Pearl City Wolves held a 12 point lead with 4:16 to play in the game, and looked like they were in complete control against the Oville/Aquin Broncos Wednesday night. The odds of a Bronco comeback were about as long as the odds of winning the Queen of Hearts drawing at Little John's Tap ... But then ... a perfect storm of events, some that seemed to defy logic, all combined to make what looked like a solid conference win, turn into an epic tragedy that the Wolves would rather forget. Credit h...
The Basketball game between the Lena-Winslow Panthers and Stockton Blackhawks was over pretty quickly. Stockton struggled against an aggressive 1-3-1 zone defense – turning the ball over repeatedly throughout the night which led to Panther transition baskets on a regular basis in a 66-28 blow out. What was a contest at halftime, with the Panthers only up 28-18, quickly got out of hand in the second half as Stockton only score ten points in the entire second half. Early on, Lena-Winslow made four...

Last week completed the Girl's Basketball regular season. And while Galena, Orangeville and Eastland all locked up their respective conference titles, some major upsets have thrown the post season outlook – that appeared set in stone a week ago – into some serious doubt. The biggest news was that the Orangeville Broncos, who had not lost to a 1A team all season, were not only beaten at Pecatonica by the Indians, but hammered 54-35 as Lauren Mellentine went off from behind the three point line an...

With 19.9 seconds remaining in the game, the Warren Warriors called time out with possession of the ball and the score tied at 36-36. Junior guard, Treyton Pafford had been hot, and led the Warriors on a furious rally back to knot up the score, and now they had a chance to take their first lead of the game – at the very end of it. "The play was for Trey to penetrate their zone and see if he could get to the basket," said head coach Troy Pafford. "Then I told everyone to crash the boards." After...
The Lena-Winslow Lady Panthers jumped out to a quick lead over the Pecatonica Indians as two different tactics were implemented. On defense, the Panthers ran a diamond and one, with four girls in a diamond zone, while Janessa Esser played straight man defense against Pecatonica's biggest three point shooting threat – Lauren Mellentine. "I am sick of the box and one defense," Mellentine admitted. "But I guess it does allow my teammates to get good looks, so ... I deal with it." On offense, the Pa...
It was a big night in High School Basketball Tuesday, as several marks were achieved throughout the region. In Girl's Basketball, Orangeville head coach, Jay Doyle, got his 100th win as the Broncos edged past AFC 48-42. While in Boy's Basketball, it is a rare sight to see a player reach the 1000 point mark for their career ... but what are the odds of seeing two kids do it in the same game?!? Aquin transfer, Adam Awender, needed 12 points in action for his new team – the Eastland Cougars – and...
The first time the Eastland Cougars beat Fulton 45-40, Fulton big man, Baylen Damhoff didn't play in the game. Thursday night in Lanark, he did .... And it made a huge difference. Damhoff dominated the contest – taking over in the second half when he drilled three straight long range bombs on back-to-back-to-back possessions that turned what had been a low scoring contest, into a Fulton run away 50-34. "I thought we did a good job on him defensively in the first half," said Eastland head c...

With the Dakota Indians having a down season, nobody expected anybody to seriously challenge the Pantherhawks for the Regional crown at Stillman Valley last Saturday. But when Byron won the heavyweight division by a pin, suddenly the Tigers had leaped over the Pantherhawks – edging them out by one point to claim the Regional title 196-195. Final team scores for the Stillman Valley Regional were: 1. Byron 196 2. Lena-Winslow/Stockton 195 3. Oregon 126 4. Dakota 110.5 5. Stillman Valley 104.5 6...

In the first game of their season, the Lena-Winslow Panthers went into overtime against Durand – barely holding on for the two point win on Durand's home floor. That was in early December. Last Monday night, about five to six weeks later, those same two teams met in Lena for the completion of the conference home-and-home contest. In their defense, Durand had three players sitting out due to injury – two of them who started against Lena-Winslow in December. But even those players could not acc...
