Something about adults taunting high school kids just doesn't sit right. If high school student sections want to get cute, that's one thing. A 40-year-old man with a beard chanting "over-rated" needs to re-evaluate his life choices.

Just my two cents...the IHSA needs to consider going back to having the top 4 sectional seeds hosting regionals.
A 22-win team that's a top 4 sectional seed probably shouldn't be driving 2 hours to play their regional semifinal on a below .500 team's home floor.

Our family is complete💞 Kelly and I have adopted a sweet baby boy! Our son, Alexander Gregory, was born Tuesday, September 12. It's been a challenging week as he needed surgery to repair an omphalocele he was born with. But he is healing well at Luries. He is a strong brave boy.
