So after Friday, many area school districts have gone "Mask Optional". D150 has not. Has there been any talk amongst D150 administrators about refusing to play away games in venues where masks are not mandatory? It's my understanding that the IHSA policy has not changed and schools are ex...

Meta/Morton/Washington games have been excellent and fun to watch. Thanks Clutchsports. I did go to the Wash v Meta at Wash and it was a bit boring for first 3 quarters. Post season Meta will probably be in a different regional than Wash/Morton. Too bad we can't have 4 games between these 3 teams. ...

Was at the Morton Shootout yesterday. Watched Notre Dame/Washington. Saw the Irish had a couple players out, however hard to believe that any high school team starting three 6’8” players couldn’t score more than 38 points. When opposing team holds the ball because they can’t compete with the defens...

A participating team shut down basketball today for 2 weeks. Any last minute teams looking for a tournament? Need a team not already scheduled AND currently is four or more games under the IHSA max. IHSA changed max games format a few years ago so it’s a bit tougher now. Extremely tough, unless a t...

Not that anyone needs a reason, but is this a general hatred or did something else get canceled?

Unfortunate events? Metamora went to full scale in person school recently rather than finish the school year split schedule. I wonder if this had any impact on the football “unfortunate event.” And, they just got back from spring break. I don't think there is anything school wide. They had the JV g...

‘Tis the season...

I'm not surprised that CBS injected false-sexism when they mentioned the women's team don't have their banners hanging in the gym (and insinuated if the boys won, theirs would be hanging). That's blatantly false. I'm surprised that the ladies interviewed (and Kindred) allowed that false narrative t...

Congratulations to the Macomb boys golf team. They were invited to the High School National Invitational at the Pinehurst golf club on June 27th thru June 3oth. This is the same Tournament that the Peoria Notre Dame boys team went to last summer after winning the IHSA state Championship in the fall...

I wonder if Pekin will look in house such as Jeremy Crouch (is he still at Pekin - I know he was head coach at Illini Bluffs and then became assistant to Walraven years back) or will the school look outside for an established coach? Since Walraven was an in house hire, I would like to see the schoo...

Saturday's game will be postponed too

Holiday Tournaments not looking good.

oh my... this looks like a mess...

What happened to Brown?

Grebner was my second choice, behind Curt Ryan. Curt would bring more excitement to the game, which is what is needed to keep fans coming IMO. Redbird football has become boring, like a lot of programs...lots of reasons for that, not necessarily the coaches fault either... One program that is alway...

All games now cancelled. No State Tourney.

All IHSA games are now cancelled for the rest of the season. Sad.

Metamora has Pekin and Washington next weekend

No, he is retiring from teaching as well. MTHS has a Health position posted.

[/url]t_id=1542858 time=1578120386 user_id=12361] Anyone have any details to share on tonight's Washington-Quincy game?

Morton big over Limestone Pekin shuts out EP Dunlap stops Canton 2-point conversion with 18 seconds remaining to win 21-20 Washington 38 Metamora 0 AND Couch and Ryan “have words” in handshake line. What kind of words? Warm, friendly or angry confrontation? Was listening on radio. Sounded like Wash...

Speaking of eligibility, who determines academic eligibility? I know every school around here is different with standards. I have heard at Metamora and Pekin a player can have two F’s and be eligible to play. Heard this from a teacher who works there. Heard Metamora players can have 2 from a parent...

Just looked at pjstar twitter. Someone tweeted (is that correct term) in reply to Stein that it’s first time Pekin has won AT Metamora. Not that shocking as they haven’t been conference mates that long. Also it’s got to mean time for Pat Ryan to go! Just kidding based on past posts here when Metamo...

Yes unfortunately we won’t see him the rest of the season.

Metamora freshman beat Canton 48-24 and are 3-2 on season. Canton freshman are 1-4 I believe. Word is Limestone freshman have cancelled this Friday's game with Metamora freshman due to not enough players for remainder of season. The remaining kids for Limestone will have to practice with sophomore ...
