FWO...did you see the catch? Was it good or not? Just wondering.....
we were in the JCA section on the opposite side of the field and low. the richwoods bench blocked my view and we are standing on our seats. all i saw was the kid get two hands on the ball and fall below my view...
JCA has a highlight website with really close up high definition videos but they took this one down...the last time I looked.

I was up for the weekend and saw it...
By HS standards (more leniency than pros or college) it's considered good bc he had one foot in (drug his toes) and he secured it to the ground...
By rule he doesn't have to secure it through the ground like college and also back up and make a secondary move like NFL...
The only real question is whether he fully secured it before out of bounds, but I believe HS still employs the old force out rule at the officials discretion.
A Peoria school just won the soccer championship and they recruit kids all the way down to Springfield to move up and play there...
Why not in basketball you ask...because most of the kids that play basketball that are talented couldn't afford to go to these high schools...
Heck, if the STL Catholic schools tried to recruit the Gilberts and Miles' of the basketball world it wouldn't matter, because unless someone is paying their way, they could never afford it.
Besides, basketball is about as cheap as you can get and why in IL football, baseball, and soccer are generally won by the private schools more times than not...lots of money involved always benefits the private institutions or those that are part of their own school districts...
Why else would the Wilmette's, Naperville's, and Winnetka's always win swimming competitions?!
Schools are sport specialized and throw their money at 1 or 2 and those are their "pay" sports and the private schools recruit those very well...
How else would it explain a kid from southern IL moving to Metamora and then the family moving to Pontiac...
Happens every year though...
Seems like every year a Peoria kid or 2 transfers from one city school to another to play basketball. Some consider that recruiting. And there are some well known Peoria sports names on the Peora ND soccer team. Are you sure they went to Springfield to recruit players? Wouldn't think they would have to.
