2024-25 PREP BASKETBALL Preview

Winter itself –sneaks up on you

Fall sports such as football and girls volleyball, cross country and boys soccer have a one- or two-month-long countdown of camps and tournaments and scrimmages before the official tryouts and real practices begin. It’s an offseason immediately preceding a preseason, and if we cut out the semantics of IHSA bylaws and start-of-season calendars, we can say the falls sports season doesn’t really have an offseason and a preseason. It has one really, really long preseason.

Spring sports – think softball and baseball, girls soccer, track and ﬁeld and the like – in theory have the same kind of short turnaround as the winter sports. I say in theory, because it rarely actually works out that way.

Streator and Hall are scheduled to play baseball March 19.

Ottawa’s girls soccer team is supposed to hop on a bus and go to Braidwood on March 18.

St. Bede is scheduled to host Dwight for a softball game March 17.

Now I don’t want to give any spoilers here for those of you who maybe just moved here or are meteorologically challenged, but come mid-March, they’re probably not going to play those games, scheduled or not. Maybe one of them gets in. (Those poor girls do play early-season soccer in some godawful conditions.) Maybe even two or all three. I kind of doubt it, though, and even if they do, those teams’ next week or two of games will probably get weathered out.

The upshot of all those spring cancelations being that the lead-up to the spring sports season – while in theory no longer than the lead-up to winter sports such as basketball – inevitably winds up being longer, just like the way the summer oﬀseason bleeds into the fall preseason, making for a nice long transition as things get going.

There is no such transition for high school basketball. Sure, there are open gyms and things like that, but really it’s two quick weeks of practice, and then it fires hard out of the gate with teams playing three, four, five games in the first week alone.

Some of us will still be packing away our Halloween decorations when the girls get things started Nov. 18 in tournaments around the area in places like Princeton, Somonauk, Seneca, Bureau Valley and Flanagan. And we’ll have eight high school football games still to play in Illinois when our area’s boys basketball teams head to gyms in Ottawa, Serena, Dwight, Woodland and Kewanee Wethersﬁeld to tip things oﬀ Nov. 25.

Within these pages, ﬁnd fantastic photos of some of our area’s teams from last year as well as schedules to get you ready for the season ahead. And, as always, you can ﬁnd previews on all our area’s teams online at www.shawlocal. com/illinois-valley.

Because ready or not, here basketball season comes.
