It should be a big week in the ICHS Gym this week as we have games taking place from Tuesday-Friday. The ICMS Volleyball team will take the floor on Tuesday/Thursday, but we also have a unique opportunity on Wednesday/Friday. We will be hosting the IHSA Class 1A Boys Basketball Regionals and the semifinal games are set for Wednesday night. As an added bonus, the Cougars will be taking the floor at 6:00 on Wednesday. Illini Central will be taking on the #1 seed, the Augusta Southeastern Suns, on Wednesday night. With a win, the Cougars would advance to the title game on Friday night. This is a great opportunity to show up and cheer on the Cougars as they look to pull off a big upset. The theme for the night is "Blackout," and this theme isn't just for the Cougar Crazies. When our boys take the floor for the first time at 5:40, we are hoping for a packed gym full of fans wearing black. This community and this basketball program knows all about success in the postseason, and we are looking to bring that magic back this week. We hope to see you in the gym, and in black, for what should be a fun night. #WeAreIC #BeJimmy

Congratulations to our own IC/Greenview Lady Cougar Basketball player Sophomore Madison Kacevicius for advancing to the next round of the IHSA 3 Point Shootout! Madison will shoot again this coming Thursday in Brimfield at 5:30 p.m. Congratulations, Madison!

As Hall of Fame Coach John Giesler would say…”It is Regional Time in Cougarville!” This afternoon, the Cougars play host to the South Fulton Rebels in the Quarterfinals of this IHSA Regional. Tip is scheduled for 4 p.m. As a reminder...the price for admission is $5 for everyone. No passes can be used for State Series events. The IHSA only allows schools that use the NFHS to broadcast State Series events. We made the decision a year ago to do our own thing through The Illini Central Sports Network YouTube Channel because we knew we could give you...our fans...a better product for free. Unfortunately, we will not be able to broadcast today's game live. Honestly, we would rather you be in the gymnasium with us anyway…cheering on your IC Cougars AND sticking around to honor our Seniors! Thank you to Paul, Eli, Bryce & Nick for all that they have given to the Illini Central Boys' Basketball program. Wishing the boys well this afternoon. #WeAreIC #BeJimmy

Illini Central 8th Grader Brody Folkes was selected to participate in the All-State Junior High Classic this weekend.

Tomorrow, the All-Star games will take place at Dunlap Valley Middle School at 3 p.m. If Brody's team wins 3 p.m. game, they will play again at 4:30. The Championship game is scheduled for 5:30 for the two teams that are left at the end of the day. We wish Brody well this weekend & congratulate him on his selection to this event! #WeAreIC #BeJimmy

Let's reset...The Cougar Basketball game that was scheduled for last night...which we thought might get played tonight...has been cancelled. We were going to honor our Seniors in between the JV & Varsity game. Tomorrow...we will begin the IHSA Regional v. South Fulton. This game will begin at 4 p.m. in The Cougar Den. There are specific IHSA rules that have to be followed when hosting a Regional game. We will be honoring our Seniors following the Regional game. This will allow the Seniors & their families to take photos without being rushed prior to the game with the Rebels. We are excited to see a full gym tomorrow to cheer on the Cougars as the Regional begins AND we honor those Seniors who have worked hard over the past 4 years. #WeAreIC #BeJimmy
