Statewide- Monday 5.29.2006 - Illinois Class A baseball sectionals and super-sectionals were capped off with several exciting wins this week, led by IHSS's #1-rated team, IVC (pics courtesy of  Mid-Illini.com) steam rolling Coal City 8-0 at the Illinois Wesleyan super-sectional game. The Grey Ghost's outstanding freshman pitcher, Chris Razo, threw a 7-inning complete game no-hitter in front of a large IVC crowd at Jack Horenberger Field. IVC runs their record to 37-2 on the year.

The Cahokia Conference impressed many as it sends two representatives, Columbia and Trenton-Wesclin, both to the Class A Elite 8 in Joliet with wins over highly-touted teams. Columbia defeated IHSS's #6 rated team, the Williamsville Bullets, 8-5 on Mondayat Sauget. Williamsville had previously defeated the Triopia Trojans for the Pleasant Plains Sectional championship. Wesclin dispatched IHSS's #4-rated team, the Shelbyville Rams, by winning a close contest, 4-3, at the Charleston (EIU) Super-sectional.

IHSS's #5-rated team, the Carmi-White County Bulldogs, defeated a scrappy DuQuoin Indian ballclub, 2-0, on the pitching performance of Keegan Dennis, who offset a 16 strike-out 5-hit performance by DQ's Bryant George with 10 K's and a 3-hit shutout of his own!

IHSS's #2-ranked squad, Addison Driscoll, pummeled the perennial Class A baseball powerhouse, Herscher, 7-0, thanks to a big inning for the Highlanders. The Herscher Tiger pitching was nails but the sticks were a tad quiet in the loss.

Conratulations to the Benton Rangerettes! Girls Class A Track & Field State Champions! IHSS correspondant, Chris Kays. followed the Rangerette's all the way to state for their emotional championship win. See Kays' high-quality pics from the Class A Track & Field State meet here.
