5 years running, and still going strong.
Wheaton College once again hosted the 5th annual sportstownchicago.com Illinois High School Volleyball All Star Game and 2nd Annual Senior Showcase.
Players that came from as far south as Auburn, IL to as far north as Rockford, IL, were able to put their skills out on the floor the fans in attendance to see, and for those watching online on sportstownchicago.com. Players met new teammates for the last time at the high school level and quickly we saw all the teams gel immediately.
It was the color white that reigned supreme tonight. In the showcase game, in quick fashion, team white beat team pink in 3 straight sets. While for the All Star Game, which followed after the senior showcase, team white won a long battle in 5 sets.

Mighty Macs Win Battle of Heavyweights
What's a better way to kickoff our coverage of 2014 Illinois High School Volleyball?
Put the defending class 3A Champs (St. Francis Spartans) against the c lass 4A champs (Mother McAuley Mighty Macs) on one court and battle it out.
A capacity crowd, performances by the McAuley school band, and the school choir made it all a nice evening, as not only was it a battle of volleyball elites, but it was also Alumni night at Mother McAuley.
To the match we go...
The Mighty Macs, with the home court/crowd on their side, seemed to fuel that as energy, keeping control of the match on their side for basically the whole match. For the Spartans, any mini rally was stopped by a counter from the Mighty Macs, or service errors caused by the Spartans.
On this night, it was the defending 4A champs Mother McAuley who owned the night, taking a 2 set sweep 25-16, 25-20.
This, however, won't be the last time these teams will see each other. Mother McAuley will be hosting the ASICS Challenge on October 3rd, and 4th. Teams from around the country will be coming into Chicago as the nation's best teams in that 2 day span will go toe for toe on the court.
