Down here from lovely Southern Illinois! Last night was an adventure. Started off in Chicago and took off towards DUPO, IL. 4 and a half hours later, we are here and ready for interviews. After getting interviews from 4 of the Varsity girls on Dupo High School team. The game was ready to be played. Here we go Dupo vs. Cahokia!
Game 1, featured a game of bigs versus littles. Cahokia had the size, where Dupo had the finesse.For us, being in the Northern part of the state. We are used to an above the rim game, and a power game. Things started off slow but picked up towards the end of set 1. Cahokia ended up taking it in convincing fashion. Dupo made many mental mistakes and really shot themselves in the foot when it came down to the fundamentals.
Game 2, was a completely different story. Dupo came out on fire. Taking a 8-2 lead early. Cahokia was now the team that was making the mistakes and causing mental mistakes. Dupo was relentless in their attack with Junior middle Shannon Hood taking the lead, and the rest of her troops following suit. Dupo let it slip towards the end, but finished Cahokia off with a rally for the ages.
Game 3, yes game 3. Take both game 1 and game 2 into account and we have ourselves a true blue rivalry. Back and forth, back and forth. The game was all about a matter of inches. Cahokia now using more finesse, and Dupo going for more kills. Once again, Dupo was faltering. They made many mistakes that let Cahokia sneak away with a win in this non-conference battle of neighbors.
Tonight, we have Heyworth vs. Blue Ridge. Tune in tonight at 6pm as Dr. Pete and Kgriff89 (on twitter) have the call.
