We shot 12 games in 6 days - kind of a condensed week due to the weather here in McLean County - at the 2019 108th version of the McLean County Tournament. The tournament is still the longest running basketball tournament in Illinois.
This year, the Eureka Hornets beat out El Paso Titans for the girls title and GCMS (Gibson City Melvin Sibley) Falcons beat out the El Paso Titan boys in a thriller that will be remembered for many years for the boys title.

Heyworth Hornets girls host travelling trophy for very first time!
The Heyworth girl's basketball team on paper is short on experience, especially in the depth of the bench. The roster shows 4 seniors and the rest are all sophomores. The lack of juniors would normally signal an alarm, and it probably does in this situation as well. The 4 seniors take the center, forward and one guard positions, whilst the starting sophomore handles the point guard duties. It served them well in the defeat of the Eureka Hornets. When I first looked up at the scoreboard it read 21-7, Heyworth in charge. Eureka managed to bring it back to within 5 a couple of times, but Heyworth ended the comp at the buzzer with a 67-56 victory. The sophomores that came in from the bench showed great poise and potential. The Hornets outlook is good.
Eureka had hosted the travelling trophy since the end of last year, their first year of eligibility after joining the HOIC. Us old timers know that those golden globed trophies started their existence in the McLean County Tournament. It always warms our hearts to see them inside our county lines. Thank you to the Heyworth Hornets for bringing it back home. It's tradition!
I must also mention that (and most that know me at least subconsciously know this) I have a specially good time photographing refs and coaches. Coach Tony Griffin is becoming one of my favorites. Lots of emotion, lots of animation and all exactly in the right place!
Go Hornets!

'Birds burn Bradley and UHigh smothers Eureka
The Volleyball Redbirds cleaned up the Braves from Bradley on Saturday night in 4 sets. Earlier in the day, the University High School Pioneers zipped the Eureka Hornets in Hancock Stadium. I think I shot a years worth of touchdowns in that game in just over a half of shooting.
Pictures from both competitions will be at Alan Look Photography before Tuesday. Hope you enjoy the viewing.
