9 1/2 inches of snow fell on Central Illinois Wednesday and Thursday. For many, it meant a day off from school or work. For others, it meant a tougher time getting to work.
For me, it meant less live sporting events to keep track of for the week. The weather came at an inoppotrune time for the world of high school basketball since the teams already had two weeks off for the holidays.
The week began well, with the Maroons boys basketball squad defeating Warrensburg-Latham for the first time in years Tuesday night. Aaron Ennis was deadly from beyond-the-arc. He hit six three-pointers for 25 points. Clinton won by two. It looks like the Maroons have a bright future ahead of them. They just need to give themselves more possessions and be more consistent on defense.
Nothing was on tap for either Clinton or Maroa-Forsyth on Wednesday, and all events were cancelled Thursday and Friday.
My Friday night plan was originally to cover the Maroa-Forsyth boys basketball game against Tolono-Unity. I have been reading good things about the Trojans early on and was looking forward to seeing them in person. I hope I can make it out to their next home game. Chad Cluver is a good coach and a great guy. I hope to see much improvement from them.
At least the weekend will be exciting with the NFL Wildcard games beginning in a couple hours. I'll be watching to see who the Colts play next Saturday night.
Hopefully next week will be more eventful on the sports front in Central Illinois. I'll update everyone on the blog next Saturday.
