The one certainty that came out of Monday's conference battle between Lena-Winslow and Orangeville, was that the Panthers can't match up against the Broncos in man. After a sloppy but close first quarter, Lena-Winslow went away from their 1-3-1 zone defense and played straight man-to-man against the Broncos. But aside from a third quarter burst, the Panther offense couldn't keep up as Orangeville pulled away for a convincing 51-33 victory. When the game began, the Bronco's advantage in...
Embracing the underdog role and on their home court, the Eastland Lady Cougars roared into the regional championship game after an impressive 50-39 win over Morrison Tuesday night in Lanark. Eastland showed no fear of the favorite Fillies and their obvious height advantage thanks to Camryn and Shelby Veltrop. The Lady Cougars played an aggressive style both on offense and defense which caused Morrison all kinds of trouble throughout the game. Eastland deployed an attacking press all game which caused a multitude of Morrison turnovers and their...
Upsets abounded in the Girls Regionals Tuesday night, with Stockton taking advantage of a raucous crowd to battle back and claim a 43-30 victory over Orangeville. Early on it was the Broncos who set the tone. Kylie Wirth drained a short jumper for the lead at 7-5, then Laney Cahoon added one of her own for a 9-5 advantage. With only 21.3 seconds left, Brynn Haas made an old fashioned three point play to cut it to one, but Ella Doyle beat the buzzer from the deep baseline corner to give the...
Lena-Winslow seniors, Cierra Mapes and Kalli Humphrey, were a bit irked after reading my prediction that they would fall to RR/SM in the Regional semi-finals. "If you don't like it, prove me wrong." "We're going to, you'll see," Kalli said. "And when we do you better put us in the paper," added Cierra. After storming out to a commanding 31-13 lead over the higher seeded Wildcats, the Panthers tried to do everything they could to give the game away in the second half ... but RR/SM simply wasn't a...
With 2:53 to play in the third quarter of the Regional Championship between Eastland and Galena, the Pirate's sophomore point guard, Addie Hefel, used a spin move to get past one defender, took an inside slant to get even with the post waiting to pick her up, then in an underhanded scoop move lofted the basketball underneath the outstretched arm of the post and watched as it kissed off the glass and fell through for two points as the whistle blew calling a foul on the post who tried to hip...

She's far from the tallest player on her team, but Kassadie Sullivan sure came up big for Stockton Friday night as she helped win a regional championship for the Lady Blackhawks. Sullivan nailed some clutch 3-point shots while cousins Brynn and Kenze Haas did some dirty work down low in the paint to defeat Lena-Winslow 45-40 and earn the title on their home floor. The game was close throughout with the biggest lead for either team at 7 points for the entire game. In fact the game was tied at 38-38 with 2:31 remaining before the Lady Blackhawks...

There are rivalries that can be heated and fierce, but then there is the rivalry between Lena-Winslow and Eastland, in which both teams not only respect each other, but admire what the other one is doing as well. "I've watched Dennis (Huttenlocher) ever since he had the Boy's program over there in Lena," said Cougar head coach Nicole Brinker. "And I knew he'd get the Girls program playing well, and he has." "Nicole is such a class act and has such a strong program, I keep telling our kids if we...
The Lena-Winslow Panthers have been one of the most inconsistent teams in the region this season – looking all world one game, only to fall flat in the next. But they had their 'A' game going Tuesday night at home in a non-conference battle with Stockton. The Stockton Blackhawks are a really good team, took East Dubuque into overtime, knocked off Galena, they can play – and play well. But in Lena Tuesday night ... they didn't have their 'A', 'B', 'C', or 'D' game going ... in fact, you cou...
Many people thought that East Dubuque was the only team that had a chance to knock off the top ranked Scales Mound Hornets in the NUIC-West. Well, they were wrong. After overcoming a rather rude student section at East Dubuque the Friday before, the Scales Mound Hornets took little time in blowing by the Warriors at home Wednesday night in yet another dominant performance. With three minutes to play in the first quarter, the Hornets only held a 4-2 lead. East Dubuque was sitting in a spread out...
It had been a long time coming, 25 years in fact, but Thursday night in Orangeville the Lady Broncos blew past Pecatonica 46-28 in a physical contest to claim the NUIC North crown by themselves. The win was also their 27th on the season, which is a new school record for wins ... and they still have the Regionals ahead. Orangeville held a small lead at 8-2 after the first quarter, but in the second period they put on a clinic. Ella Doyle made a pretty backdoor pass to Kylie Wirth for a layup,...

By the time you read this, the Girls Regionals will more than likely be to the point where we know which two teams are in the finals at each location. But that doesn’t mean, I can’t entertain myself by going through the bracket and making picks based on what I’ve seen this season. So, let’s get started. Indian Creek Regional The wildcard in this regional is Polo – the Marcos could pose a problem for one – or both of the top seeds. On Saturday, Polo should blow past Kirkland Hiawatha, w...
Basketball players are well aware of the phrase, "Taking the lid off the basket." It often refers to a team that continues to miss shots, even good ones. For the Lena-Winslow Panthers, they had been in such a bad shooting rut over the last week that the "lid" seemed to be strapped down with iron wrappings and bolted in place. Throughout the first half of their conference battle Monday night with Pearl City, the Panthers shooting woes continued. From anything outside of ten feet, nothing wanted...
River Ridge head coach, Shean Albrecht, called it ... "It doesn't matter if we're really good and Stockton is down, or the other way around; every time we play it's always a tight game," he said. In one of the more exciting games this season, the Wildcats needed overtime, some critical foul shots ... and a little bit of luck to pull out a dramatic 46-45 overtime victory against the Stockton Blackhawks Tuesday night. From the fourth quarter on, the contest turned into a chess match as each posses...
If there was any chance that an area team was going to knock off the Galena Pirates to tighten up the conference race, they were dashed Wednesday night as the Pirates used their clamp down full court defense to pull away from RR/SM early, then never looked back in a convincing 41-25 victory. "This one played out a lot like the last one," said Wildcat head coach Dave Wiegel. "I thought we would do a better job of handling their pressure, but we didn't." The Pirates use a full court 1-3-1 press th...
The last time the Orangeville Lady Broncos won the conference championship was 1997. That makes it a 24 year span without a title. But following Friday night's exciting 39-34 victory in Lena over the Panthers, the Broncos got one step closer to breaking that string in year 25. When the game began, fans of both teams wondered who it was they were watching as the points piled up quickly and both teams were on fire. Laney Cahoon made a three point basket, then stole the ball and made the layup at...
"You talk to any coach in the conference, and they'll tell you that the first question you have to answer when you play Eastland is, 'How are you going to stop (Kellen) Henze?'," said Fulton head coach R.J. Coffey. Never were the concerns about the Eastland senior guard more evident than in the Cougars conference battle at home against the Fulton Steamers Thursday night. From the opening quarter, when Henze scored 10 of the 14 points Eastland put up – and the four other points were on Henze a...

Most people know that the Scales Mound Hornets are a really strong basketball team and ranked #2 in the state in 1A. But few people outside of the small town of Scales Mound realize how truly impressive that is because of one little known fact ... they haven't played at full strength since the second day after Christmas. Last Saturday, when traveling across the border to play Dubuque Senior – a school with over 1600 students compared to the Hornets who have a total student population of 75 in th...
The Orangeville Lady Broncos were faced with a bit of a dilemma. Their JV team had been exposed to covid when they played RR/SM, and several of those players also suit up for varsity. But due to their exposure, the Broncos went into their conference battle at Pearl City with only six players. Six. But Pearl City also had a problem. Normally, when facing an opponent with little to no bench, the standard strategy is to press them as much as possible to wear them down ... but Pearl City couldn't...
