‘It’s exactly what we needed to get out of this game’: Braves use dominant second half to cruise to a 1-0 start

Bradley opened their season against Monmouth College with the remnants of a disappointing exhibition loss still splattered across their crimson-and-white uniforms. Five-of-18 from the floor, 1-of-8 from three, a couple of turnovers and missed free throws painted an eerily similar picture to their last outing at Carver Arena vs. SIUE.

Trojans Can't Sustain Fast Start In Super-Sectional Loss

The IHSA Class 1A IVC Super-Sectional on Monday was a different scenario than the Mendota boys soccer team has been used to over the last three or four seasons. Notorious for offensive slow starts and filling up the net in the second half, against Rock Island Alleman for a chance to advance to their third-straight IHSA State Tournament, the Trojans started the match on fire scoring the first three goals of the match in the first half. However, the Pioneers s scored the next two in the first half and closed out the match with two more goals to beat Mendota 4-3.

Clear Creek Amana tops Assumption, will play for IGHSAU volleyball title

CORALVILLE — Clear Creek-Amana is headed to its second Iowa high school state volleyball championship game in four years after sweeping Davenport Assumption in the Class 4A semifinals on Wednesday, Nov. 4, at Xtream Arena. The 3-seed Clippers overpowered the No. 2 seed Knights from the start, winning 25-17, 25-22 and 25-12 to earn a date with No. 1 Norwalk in the 4A championship match on Thursday, Nov. 5. CCA was highly motivated after losing to Assumption, 2-1, during the Iowa City West Invite on Sept. 12. "We wanted to make sure that they didn't remember us the way that we played the last time we played them," said Clear Creek Amana coach Jackie Clubb. "We wanted to make sure we hung in there and controlled the game as much as possible. You've just got to be ready to go. They were." The Clippers outclassed Assumption in the rematch. They cruised in the first set, hung tough in the second and then dropped the hammer in the third set. CCA jumped out to a 12-3 lead in the third set, and Assumption never stood a chance. Delaney Vaske delivered the final two kills to send the Clippers to the 4A

IHSA football playoffs first round final scores, Round 2 schedule for Western Illinois

The title might be officially the "first round" of the IHSA Illinois state football playoffs, but it's game 2 of the postseason for plenty of teams. The top 16 seeds in each of eight classes got the night off last week, but there are no more breaks as teams aim for a spot in the state championship games on Thanksgiving weekend at Illinois State. A few surprises dotted the scoreboard in the opening round of the tournament last week, and it'll happen again across games Friday and Saturday, Oct. 30-31, both in Western Illinois and beyond. The question is: Who's gonna pull those upsets? Watch the playoffs on NFHS Network With the smaller classes divided by only north and south this year, it'll make for some longer roads this week. Illini West has one of the most distant venues in the state ― a four-hour trip one way to Peotone, just south of the Chicago suburbs along the Indiana state line. Geneseo and Abingdon-Avon have drives of two-plus hours on tap, but Quincy is the winner (or "loser" perhaps?), going 300 miles to Goode Academy in Chicago. It's also the opening weekend of the Illinois 8-Man Football Association playoffs, where
