Good Luck this Season! firststatebank.biz l 800.362.9623

When this Illinois Valley basketball special section is published, it will be Thanksgiving week. The girls and boys basketball seasons will have kicked into high gear with turkey tournaments filling gymnasiums across the state — including in such area venues as Princeton’s Prouty Gym, Woodland’s Warrior Dome, Flanagan-Cornell’s Nest, Seneca’s Land of the Fighting Irish, Somonauk for the annual Tim Humes Breakout and Ottawa’s Kingman Gym, voted a few years back by fans statewide as Illinois’ best high school basketball venue — and I fully expect it will be at least a little bit, if not a lot bit, colder outside those big gym windows.

I mention it only to point out how quickly one season transitions into the next, be it with Illinois weather or Illinois high school sports. Another example: I spent last Saturday (Nov. 4, for those of you keeping track at home) covering an Illinois 8-Man Football Association quarterfinal playoff game between Amboy-LaMoille and Flanagan-Cornell/Woodland. Two days after the game ended, those same players from Flanagan-Cornell and Woodland high schools who spent all fall working together on the football field turned in their shoulderpads and opened basketball practices at their respective schools, getting ready to face each other on the Warrior Dome basketball court the day before Thanksgiving in the Route 17 Classic.

Amboy and LaMoille-Ohio won’t be far behind, breaking their last co-op huddle before this section’s publication to represent their respective schools and face each other on the hardwood Dec. 2 after a fall spent together dominating opponents on the gridiron.

While you can find our traditional basketball season previews online at www.shawlocal.com/illinois-valley/high-schoolsports/ and in the Sports pages of your NewsTribune, Times and Bureau County Republican, we present to you this special section celebrating that changing of the seasons — in this case, from the football fields and volleyball courts and soccer pitches and tennis courts of the fall to the gymnasiums of winter. (A couple area teams are even scheduled to meet at the home of the Chicago Bulls, the United Center!)

Inside, you can find pictures from our award-winning photographers of many of last season’s top players along with schedules of the basketball teams taking the court this winter from many of our area’s high schools: • La Salle-Peru

• Mendota

• Seneca

• Ottawa

• Bureau Valley

• Woodland

• Streator

• Hall

• Putnam Co.

• Princeton

• Marquette

• Fieldcrest

• St. Bede Basketball is the longest of the high school sports seasons, stretching from the opening of practices in late October/early November to the state finals contested the first and second weekends in March.

Here’s hoping it’s a good one in your corner of the Illinois Valley.

As I sit down to write this, high school boys basketball teams across Illinois are wrapping up their second official practices of the young season, the girls teams have been practicing for just over a week now, and the temperature outside my little upstairs window is a comfortable, though definitely not summerly, 59 degrees.
