........Forreston....22

[Da Coach]

Congratulations to IVC! Look forward to seeing them play at the CC.

[Big Mike]

No offense to anyone but for me the high school tourney is a lot more fun to watch when a local team is still in it! This will help take the worry off the Braves for me until Sunday!

Good Luck to the Grey Ghost tonight in the Class A State Championship game tonight.........no matter the outcome IVC will be a winner in my book!

[Big Mike]

It's a final......IVC......44
Seneca....................47 with a record of 35-0!

Congrats to the Grey Ghost for finishing 2nd in the state!

Nice Run!

[Da Coach]

Tough loss! The game could have gone either way, but the Seneca team got a few breaks and made their shots at the end. 2 really good teams. Congratulations to IVC for a memorable season.

IVC played great. They are indeed one of the best two teams in the state, and recall they beat a lot of Class AA teams along the way, too.

Congratulations to all the players and coaches.
They continue the tradition of showing year after year that the teams from Central Illinois play the best basketball.

came down to too many turnovers, but we played it to the final shot and thats all you can ask for. much better than the usual sectional loss when teams had state potential. playing against washington and the like sure didnt hurt
