  Spent Senior Night at University High School Pioneers to see the boys basketball team in a thriller against the Cyclones of Sacred Heart Griffin.  The Pioneers got off to a real slow start but after picking up the pace, the game was pretty tight with a finish of a difference of 2 points with the walk off smiles going to the Pioneers.

 The Morton Potters and the Normal Ironmen met up on Saturday January 4th in the east gym of Normal Community High School. Spectators fill little more than half the stands. The Potters hit first and last with the score a 4 or 5 point difference for much of the contest. The Potters pulled away in the final 2 minutes to rest on top of the Ironmen by 10 points at the final buzzer. #Mortonpotters #NCHSAthletics #AlanLookPhotography #Bloomington-NormalSportsPhotos https://alanlookphotography.zenfoliosite.com/2024-2025-high-school-sports/2024-2025-normal-community-ironmen?ct=2

   Illini men's basketball played a tough game and suffered an even tougher 2 point loss to the current #1 ranked Tennessee Volunteers last night. Here's a few images from the 2nd cut. 1st cut images available for licensing at Zuma Press.

  From my chair, the West v Richwoods varsity boys basketball game looked closer than it ended up. West fell short on a 50-36 game. West has what seems to be an unusually young bunch of ballers with just 3 seniors on the team. Two or three of the starters for this game were sophomores and very hard working young men!

   It was the Illini over the Badgers last night at. Seemed like a pretty good match up. The Illini played much better together this game than the Little Rock game I saw earlier this season. Hopefully they continue to be more comfortable with each others positioning and ability. Head over to Zuma Press for the good stuff - it's all licensable. Here are some fun ones that landed in the seconds pile. I also keep a few of my favorites for viewing pleasure only on my website !
