2016 G Lou Griffith 29pts, 2017 Devin Whitelow G 24pts. Romon Douglas-Watkins & Monte Williams big games for Manual

Metamora will play Manual in the Peoria 3A Sectional next week in the Renaissance Coliseum.
The other 3A Peoria Sectional matchup will be Bloomington vs. LaSalle Peru

[Da Coach]

Nate Kennell had only 4 points in their big win over Richwoods. Dallas Morgan lead the Redbirds with 13 points, and Jordan Dehm also had a big game knocking down several threes. I am told Kennell was the focus of Richwoods' defense all game.


Edit: this early internet report was incorrect- Nate Kennell did not have 4 points- the PJ Star credits him with 13, and his AAU coach says he had 15.

...Metamora will play Manual in the Peoria 3A Sectional next week in the Renaissance Coliseum.
The other 3A Peoria Sectional matchup will be Bloomington vs. LaSalle Peru

The box score shows Kennell had 13 points & his AAU coach tweets that he had 15...so that prior report is inaccurate..
That Metamora-Manual game is Wednesday at Ren-Col

Metamora coach Danny Grieves will be on Jim Mattson's radio show ESPN 96.5 FM at 8:30am

[Da Coach]

Also at the Class 3A Regional final last night at Dunlap, Nate Kennell advanced in the IHSA Class 3A Three Point Showdown.
Two other Metamora kids also advanced- Jordan Dehm and Noah Persech

[tornado]

AJ Youngman also advanced to the Sectional in the 3-pt contest hitting 10 of 15
