It was at Maine South, the Loyola students were directly behind the bench and it was mayhem. A bunch of dudes in the front row took off their shirts and were waving them the whole 4th quarter. After a big three, they were jumping around so much, one kid fell inches from the court. After the game they rushed the court, had a staredown with the Maine South students and cops stepped in between. It was pure mayhem for a high school girls game.

My daughter's "team" (she's in the program, but a freshman not dressing varsity) lost last night by 4 in a good game against Robinson. Honestly, making it to the Sectional Final was probably farther than anyone expected.
Surprised to see that a number of good teams they played have been knocked out. The only one left is 1A Altamont led by a girl headed to Illinois State next year.
My HS is the 1 seed in their sub-Sectional. Would be something if they got somewhere after winning the state championship in football. We've never been a boys basketball school.
Going to watch my nephew play against Newton in their gym for the Regional Final tonight. His team beat Newton there earlier in the year, hopefully they can again. (Will be my 4th straight night in that gym as the girls Sectional was also hosted by Newton.)
