Put the Pigskin Away and Break Out the Round Ball

Thanksgiving weekend always means two things other than a lot of turkey; the end of high school football and the beginning of boys high school basketball. The ladies kicked off last week all over the area.

A quick run-down of the first day of the IHSA State Football State Championships.

1A - Tuscola over Lexington 14-7.

2A - Morrison over Maroa-Forsyth 36-14.

3A - Stillman Valley over Tolono (Unity) 52-22.

4A - Metamora over Geneseo 41-7.

One last football note right now in the local area; an interesting story is in news and message boards as Greenville HS has filed a complaint with the IHSA, over alleged weapons used by Tolono (Unity) players during last weeks Semi-Final game.

Now for some roundball!

Sesser will play Zeigler-Royalton in the Championship game of the Christopher Turkey Tourney tonight at 7:30 p.m. ZR enters with a razor thin one point win while the Red Devils of Sesser enter the title game on the last second lay-in of Kendall Gibson. This game proves to be a very good match-up. Look for Sesser to be hungry, seeing as they have lost the last two years to ZR in the Championship game of this tourney.

A match-up of Williamson County school takes place at the same time, only in Herrin as the Tigers will play Marion for the Championship of the Pyramid Classic.

One more note, SIU plays host to EIU in the first round of the NCAA FCS (I-AA) playoffs. Kick-off is 1:00 p.m. at the Mac.

It's about time for bed, but I still have photos to work on!

Bucket Hat out.
