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,...

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.

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...
Maybe it was because the Broncos had blown out Lena-Winslow in their first meeting and looked past them. Maybe it was because the Panthers didn't have outside shooting threat Ava Vlasin in that first meeting. Or maybe, just maybe, the Panthers were primed for an ambush. Whatever the reason, when the two teams faced off for the conference rematch Wednesday night in Lena – everyone would swear that the Panthers were the second rated team in the state – not Orangeville. Lena-Winslow as almost fla...
With the Regional seeds being voted on February 1st by 4:00 pm, and the Stockton Blackhawks and East Dubuque Warriors not scheduled to meet again until February 8th, their meeting in Stockton Thursday night was ... big. "Oh, this was huge," said East Dubuque head coach Deann Petitgout. "The girls knew coming in here that this one was a must." And it's possible that the pressure was too much for both teams as the first quarter was, well, flat out ugly. Both teams had more turnovers than shots,...
"We've been working for this all week, all season," said Stockton senior Colby Tucker following the Blackhawks 50-39 win on the road in Warren. "Every time we'd be in this position, we got rattled and let things get away from us," said head coach John Hammann. "Tonight, it was like it all clicked. Our seniors led the way, Tucker wanted the ball down the stretch ... yeah, I think this was definitely a signature win." When the game opened, both teams struggled to get going on offense. When Bennett...
