Thanks to Saluki guard Makenzie Silvey for joining us (after the team Christmas party no less!). The MVC named Makenzie their Player Of The Week after she averaged just over 21 points the last three games, including 19 in Sunday's big win over Illinois.
IHSA Executive Director Craig Anderson spoke with Matt Varney about some of the burning questions surrounding Illinois High School Athletics during the era of COVID-19. Why must IHSA ask for control of decision-making back when they are not a government entity? How can basketball players play while being expected to wear a face mask? Is there any hope for fall sports like football, volleyball, and boy's soccer returning this fall? All those and more questions were answered in this interview.
Zac Westcott retired the first 19 batters he faced in Tuesday night's series opener against the West Division leading Florence Y'alls. That performance led to a 5-1 victory. Hear comments from both Westcott and skipper Mike Pinto after the game:
