MORE JOBS ON THE WAY

Princeton chosen for $68M Ollie’s Bargain Outlet distribution center

By DEREK BARICHELLO dbarichello@shawmedia.com

A 600,000-square-foot distribution center, creating 250-plus new, fulltime jobs is on its way to Princeton.

Gov. JB Pritzker’s office and the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity announced Friday that Ollie’s Bargain Outlet will build a new $68 million distribu tion center in Princeton.

Princeton Mayor Joel Quiram said the project is great news for Prince ton and the surrounding area. The facility is expected to build along Interstate 80 on land adjacent to the Super 8.

“For the past six months, we have been on a rewarding journey that reached its apex [Friday] with the announcement that Ollie’s has cho sen Princeton for its fourth distribu tion center,” Quiram said. “Ollie’s decision to locate in Princeton sends a message throughout the Midwest that Princeton, and communities along Illinois’ I-80 corridor, are poised for growth. The city looks for

ward to a long and successful rela tionship with Ollie’s as they continue to grow as a company and within our community.”

The facility is expected to be com pleted in 2024 and will service 150plus Ollie’s stores across the Mid west. As part of the expansion, the company received an Economic Development for a Growing Economy tax credit, which stipulates a goal of investing $68 million and creating 148 jobs over the next three years.

“I’m excited to welcome Ollie’s first distribution center to Illinois and to the Midwest, and proud that this facility will create full-time jobs and support the local economy in Princeton,” Pritzker said in a news release. “Illinois’ top-notch location and infrastructure are well-suited to support the needs of a fast-expanding company like Ollie’s, and their deci sion to locate here further solidifies the state as a first-class destination to do business.”

Princeton City Manager Theresa Wittenauer said a national chain selecting Princeton as its new loca tion is a testament to the city being a sought-after destination. Intersect Illinois CEO Dan Seals credited Princeton’s location and talent pipe line for acquiring the facility.

“The city and Ollie’s worked

together with all parties closely over the summer months to move this project forward expeditiously, and it showed a level of professionalism that truly made Princeton stand out,” Wittenauer said. “Not only will this new facility create jobs for our com munity and the surrounding region, but also it highlights Princeton’s position as an emerging logistics and distribution center.”

Ollie’s Bargain Outlet Inc., founded in 1982, is a retailer of closeouts and excess inventory, selling food, books, housewares, toys, electronics, domes tics, clothing, furniture, health and beauty, flooring and seasonal items, among other products. The chain has 462 stores across the country.

Ollie’s said Illinois is one of the business’ fastest-growing states, with 10 stores and others planned.

“Its central location to our other markets in the Midwest region and the strong workforce made Illinois the perfect spot for breaking ground to bring customers more bargains,” said Eric van der Valk, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Ollie’s. “We appreciate our strong partnerships with Gov. Pritzker, Mayor Quiram, City Manager Wit tenauer and their teams and look for ward to becoming a valued part of the Princeton and Illinois community.”

This location (above, below) is part of 134 acres owned by the city of Princeton and will be the new home of an Ollie’s Bargain Discount distribution center. The center will be located in Princeton’s industrial park north of Interstate 80, adjacent to Super 8 Motel and Compeer Financial on the west side of Route 26.

Chief

The Chief Senachwine Chapter National Society Daughters of the American Revolution held its regu lar meeting Oct. 7 at the Lake Thun derbird Clubhouse.

Chapter members noted the NSDAR National Day of Service, cel ebrated annually on Oct. 11. The date honors the founding of NSDAR 132 years ago in 1890.

To honor service by others, each year the Chief Senachwine Chapter presents a Community Service Award in recognition of those who go above and beyond in their volunteer ism in their communities.

Previously honored was the Charles Perdew Museum Associa tion, which cares for the home and workshop of decoy carver Charles Perdew and decoy painter wife Edna Perdew.

The following year the Henry Events Committee was honored with a Community Service Award. The group served for 16 years arranging lunches in the park, other local events and entertainment each sum mer.

In 2021 honorees were Jim and Mary Jane Thornton, who, along with son Joe Thornton, were origina tors of the Flag Walk at Stoner Park, which has grown to more than 850 flags related to Henry military per sonnel.

N. Washington St., Lacon, and is open from 9 a.m. to noon on Satur days. Kleppin said that everything is available, from soup to nuts, includ ing cleaning products, female items, baby goods and fresh, in-season veg etables. Monetary donations add needed items.

Ruth gives much credit to help from the Lacon churches and added “If it wasn’t for our lovely commu nity, we couldn’t keep things going.”

Kleppin was presented a certifi cate, pin and etched memorabilia item for her window or Christmas tree.

Ruth Kleppin, manager of the Koinonia Food Pantry located in Lacon, said she is not quite certain how long she has been involved in supplying food and paper products to those in need, but she guesses she has served as manager for more than 33 years.

Last spring chapter members sug gested names of area community members who have given personal time and service to their communi ties.

Reports on the activities of the potential Community Service Award winners were given. Members then selected their 2022 honoree, Ruth Kleppin.

Kleppin, manager of the Koinonia Food Pantry located in Lacon, said she is not certain how long she has been involved in supplying food and paper products to those in need, but

guesses she has served as manager for more than 33 years.

Years ago, at the urging of the pas tor of the Lacon Congregational Church and following the death of her husband, Kleppin became the manager. Kleppin said she has always liked helping people and liked getting hugs because of this very rewarding project.

One of her tasks is to ride the truck to Peoria to receive food pantry items. Then her several work crews unload and shelve the items in Lacon.

The food pantry is located at 405

To laud service by the Chief Sen achwine members, in addition to rec ognizing Kleppin’s service to the Lacon area, Chief Senachwine mem bers chose a donation of food and paper items for the Koinonia Food Pantry for their NSDAR National Day of Service project.

A hundred and eighteen items and monetary donations were collected to honor Kleppin and to denote the NSDAR National Day of Service.

The next meeting will be held at 1:15 p.m. Friday, Nov. 4, at the Henry Public Library. The chapter will be visited by State Regent Debra Coe, who will present her program, “My Grandmother’s DAR.”

A light lunch will be served and the Chief Senachwine Chapter will note November as Native American month.

Putnam County Board prohibits use of compression brakes on section of Route 71

Regulation won’t take effect until proper signage is in place

By JAYCE EUSTICE jeustice@shawmedia.com

During Tuesday’s meeting, the Putnam County Board unanimously

approved an ordinance prohibiting the use of compression brakes or ‘Jake Brakes’ on an area of State Route 71 through the county.

These brakes are an engine brak ing mechanism installed on some diesel engines that, when activated, open exhaust valves to the engine’s cylinders before the compression stroke ends helping to slow the vehi cle.

The use of these brakes may cause

a vehicle to make a loud exhaust noise, which has led to may commu nities around the country to place limitations on its use.

With State Route 71 being a state-controlled highway, the Put nam County Highway Department will reach out for sign authorization.

Signs will then be installed in the prohibited area. Sheriff Kevin Doyle added that the sheriff’s department will not be enforcing this regulation

until the signs have been put in place, which could take several months.

“We want to make it clear on our end,” Doyle said. “We are not going to enforce anything until the proper signage is in place.”

Doyle added that once the regula tion is in effect and the signs are in place, he believes the initial response should be a campaign for education on the issue instead of worrying about writing tickets.

240 pounds of weed found during Bureau County traffic stop

About 240 pounds of purported mari juana were found Thursday in six black duf fel bags in the bed of a truck during a traffic stop on Interstate 80 in Bureau County, police said.

Chief Senachwine DAR hosts ‘Cooking Up a New Nation’

Chief Senachwine Chapter NSDAR’s Constitution Week Chair Elise Bittner pre sented her program, “Cooking Up a New Nation; Colonial Foods and Ratification of the U.S. Constitution,” on Oct 7.

Covering in order of the colonies ratify ing of the Constitution, Bittner related information on foods associated with each colony. Members learned about foods brought from the “Old World” (turnips,

cabbage, carrots, apples) and foods native to the colonies (blueberries, pecans, corn, pumpkins, squash) that figured largely in the diets of the colonists.

Overall, colonial cooking was said to have “too much grease, too much meat, too much seasoning, and too much sweet ener.” However, colonists ate well during the seasons, raised large families and usu ally prospered.

Bittner prepared hardtack, a staple for Revolutionary War soldiers, that had to be soaked to be eaten. They also served Lap land rolls, mulled apple cider, blueberry jam, raisin-almond pound cake, original and maple pound cakes, cheese wafers, coleslaw, jumbles (a cookie), pumpkin bread, country-style ham, pecan pralines, apple sauce and succotash.

The 13 colonies, represented by the foods prepared by Bittner, began the ratifi cation process on Sept. 17, 1787, when members of the Continental Congress signed the final draft of the Constitution.

Delaware was the first state to ratify on Dec. 7, 1787, with North Carolina (1789) and Rhode Island (1790) lagging behind early signers.

Wedding day tipping guidelines

Vendors may be in the background during a wedding, but the roles they play are vital to making ceremonies and receptions memorable for couples and their guests. It’s customary to tip wedding vendors who provide great service. The wedding experts at The Knot note that the following guide lines can help couples determine how much to tip the unsung heroes who make their weddings so memorable.

• Photographer/videographer: Pho tographers and videographers are unique among wedding vendors be cause their work will be looked at for decades to come. The Knot notes that it’s not necessary to tip wedding photographers and videographers who own their own studios. Their fees are all the compensation they need. However, many photographers and videographers do not own their own studios, and the efforts of such profes sionals are worthy of a little something extra at the end of the night. The Knot notes that a tip between $50 and $200 is standard for these professionals, and that tip can be given at the end of the reception.

• Reception staff: The reception staff works as hard as anyone during the wedding, and those efforts merit a good tip. Many reception venues in clude gratuities in their food and drink fees, and couples can check to see if they have already tipped staff and if they think the mandatory gratuity is sufficient. A tip between 15 and 20 percent of the food and drink fee is standard. Maître d’ fees also may be built into the wedding contract. If not, a tip between $200 and $300 is stan dard and can be delivered at the end of the night.

• Band/DJ: Music features promi nently at many wedding receptions. Bands and/or DJs can set the tone for a fun night couples and their guests will remember for years to come. Tipping musicians is optional, but it’s the norm to do so when they provide exceptional service. Couples who have a band playing can tip between $25 and $35 per musician, while DJs generally receive a tip between $50 and $150.

• Drivers: Many transportation firms also include gratuities in their con

tracts, so couples should check to see if they’ve already tipped limo or bus drivers before paying them a little extra. If the tip is not included and the drivers arrive on time and get guests to the wedding on time, then a tip that’s between 15 and 20 percent of the total bill is standard.

• Delivery personnel: Individuals who deliver items like cakes and flowers are typically given a gratuity upon delivery. A tip between $5 and $10 per person is standard, though individuals who deliver items like tables, chairs and portable restroom facilities and then set those items up may be deserving of a little extra.

• Officiants: Officiants who are af filiated with a church or synagogue where the ceremony will take place are not typically given a gratuity. How ever, The Knot notes that a donation to the place of worship between $100 and $500 is standard. Couples who still want to give the officiant a little extra can tip between $50 and $100. Independent officiants who receive fees directly from the couple need not be tipped.

These figures can serve as guide lines, but couples also can give a little extra if they feel their vendors have gone above and beyond. BR221586

Indoor golf opens

By OLIVIA DOAK odoak@shawmedia.com

Bunkers Golf in Peru opened an indoor golf simulator, allowing people to play different courses and practice their golf skills year-round.

It has 2,200 real golf courses down loaded digitally, including all TPC and PGA courses in addition to some local ones. After every swing the player is provided statistics on ball speed, yard age, swing path, launch angle, among other items. Every swing simulates an actual course, with the player adjusting swing speed and club use per drive.

“We have seven months out of the year where we can’t golf,” said business owner Jeff Grubich. “I wanted a place for people to play and work on their swing year-round.”

The simulator has multiple options to play a course, swing at a driving range or play different games for adults or children. It accommodates the competi tive golfer, those who want to work on their swing and beginners just learning the game.

The simulation is set up with a pro jector, screen and motion detector. The

setup senses the speed of a person’s swing and tracks the movement of the ball once it leaves the ground to when it hits the fabric-based projection screen.

Players are encouraged to bring their own golf balls and clubs if they have them, making sure they are wiped down and clean. Otherwise, club rental is available for $10 and golf balls available for purchase for $8.

All players must register for a tee time at www.bunkersgolfusa.com.

Weekday sessions are $30 and week end sessions are $40 for groups of four or less.

League signups also are available between now and Nov. 1. League teams have two players, and teams contribute $100 down payment that goes toward the grand prize. Teams also pay an addi

tional $10 per golf session. Teams will play nine holes every week until Dec. 21 and have the opportunity to golf ahead if needed.

To sign up for a session or to join the league, go to https://www.bunkersgol fusa.com/. Bunkers is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Sunday. Bun kers is located in the Westclox building in Peru at 400 Fifth St., Suite 182.

Expo invites all area high school students to explore careers in manufacturing

Shaw Local News Network

Up to 250 district high school stu dents are expected to participate in the Discover Manufacturing Career Expo at Illinois Valley Community College on Tuesday, Oct. 25.

IVCC is partnering on the event with North Central Regional Better ment Coalition, Starved Rock Associ ates Vocational & Technical Education and several local sponsors and sup porters.

The Manufacturing Expo invites all area high school students to explore endless possibilities in manufacturing.

“Manufacturing is a diverse and exciting industry with opportunities for students on many career paths including science, engineering, mechanics, finance, sales, communi cations and beyond,” said IVCC Direc tor of Continuing Education and Busi ness Services Jennifer Scheri.

Students visit local manufacturers in the morning for a tour and presenta tion showcasing functions of each business. Sites include Black Brothers Co., Canam Steel Corporation, Carus LLC, Epsilyte, HCC, Inc.; Machinery Maintenance, Inc.; On Site Repair Ser vices, Inc., Valley Fabrication, Inc.;

SABIC; and Vactor Manufacturing.

“We are thrilled to relaunch the Expo and IVCC is proud to provide a direct connection between students and local manufacturers,” Scheri said. “This year is especially exciting because it marks our first post-pan demic expo.”

After the tour, students will travel to IVCC for lunch and a keynote address by Peru native and IVCC alum Brian Krzyaniak, vice president of strategic development at Oertel Metal in Davenport.

The afternoon also includes break out sessions led by IVCC faculty and company representatives focusing on various career tracks such as technol ogy, business, manufacturing, and maintenance.

The Expo coincides with state and national manufacturing events. The first Friday in October is national Manufacturing Day. Illinois celebrates Manufacturing Month in October with events like Career Expo.

Manufacturing supports $580 bil lion of Illinois’ economic output, the largest share of its economy, according to the Illinois Manufacturers Associa tion. In La Salle County, more than 11,000 manufacturing jobs generate more than $3.8 billion.

Students interested in attending the Expo should register through their high school guidance counselor. For Expo information, contact Scheri at 815-224-0390.

Peru, Putnam County sheriff’s office receive firearms enforcement grant

By OLIVIA DOAK odoak@shawmedia.com

Peru Police Department and the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office were two of 32 local law enforcement agen cies across Illinois that received a share of $1 million in grants from Illi nois State Police to conduct firearm enforcement efforts to help keep fire arms out of the hand of individuals who pose a significant threat to themselves or others.

In July, the state police offered grants to law enforcement agencies to conduct enforcement operations for individuals whose Firearm Owner Identification Card have been revoked or suspended as a result of being prohibited by state or federal law.

Police Chief Bob Pyszka said the grant money will promote Firearm Owner Identification Card compli

ance by paying officers’ salaries and overtime to hold subjects account able for a suspended or revoked card.

“If you do not have a valid FOID card, you cannot go and purchase firearms legally,” Pyszka said. “I am very hopeful this (grant) will assist us, other agencies and the general public be a much safer place.”

The enforcement details are intended to focus on those individu als who pose a significant threat to themselves or others, such as those who have become the subject of a firearm restraining order or clear and present danger or received a criminal conviction, among other reasons.

“While the Illinois State Police has had great success in reducing expressway shootings in the Chicago area compared to this time last year, we continue to face a gun violence epidemic in this country and we need

every possible resource at our dis posal to combat it,” said Gov. JB Pritzker. “These grants to local law enforcement agencies can help pre vent a potential tragedy in our com munities, and I want to thank agen cies across the state who have signed up to help with enforcement efforts.”

ISP recently wrapped up a state wide firearms enforcement blitz that ran June 16 to July 31. ISP completed 201 details consisting of 1,742 compli ance checks. As a result of these efforts, 1,027 individuals were placed into compliance by surrendering their FOID Cards, transferring all firearms out of their possession, and completing a Firearm Disposition Record.

“From 2020 through the end of August 2022, ISP stopped more than 97,000 unlawful attempts to obtain a firearm through firearm eligibility and compliance checks,” said ISP

Director Brendan F. Kelly. “Award ing these firearm enforcement grants to local agencies will allow ISP to have a greater impact on reducing gun violence and protecting our com munities.”

Funding for the enforcement grants comes from the State Police Revocation Enforcement Fund and were made possible through Public Act 102-0237.

The General Assembly appropri ated $2 million for the grants and as money is accrued in the State Police Revocation Enforcement Fund, the amount the 32 law enforcement agen cies receive could potentially increase.

The grants will help pay for offi cers to conduct enforcement details now through the end of the grant period, June 30, 2023.

Gateway Services celebrates National Disability Employment Awareness Month

Shaw Local News Network

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month and Gateway Services, 406 S. Gosse Blvd. in Princeton, is taking the opportunity to highlight the importance of employ ment for everyone.

The history of National Disability Employment Awareness Month dates to 1945 when Congress enacted a law declaring the first week in October “National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week.”

In 1962, the word “physically” was removed to acknowledge the employ ment needs and contributions of indi viduals with all types of disabilities. In 1988, Congress expanded the week to a month and changed the name to National Disability Employment Awareness Month.

“We are proud to be a part of this year’s awareness efforts,” CEO of Gateway Services Tracy Wright said. “We want everyone to know that peo ple with disabilities have many abili ties and might just be some of the best employees you have ever hired.”

Gateway’s Community Employ ment Services program provides a variety of services to prepare individu als for jobs in Bureau, Marshall and Putnam counties. This may include job shadowing to learn about different jobs, building a resume or preparing for an interview.

“Employers can benefit from the program by knowing they have a

source of support, a resource for train ing or problem-solving,” Wright said. “Usually it’s a win-win situation.”

Corteva Agriscience is one local employer that recently established a partnership with Gateway Services.

“Corteva approached us about the possibility of labeling seed bags and we were quick to note that we no longer have a sheltered workshop,” Wright said. “After visiting the site, talking with the supervisor and learning of their plans, everything has worked out well.”

Corteva was quick to include indi viduals in their daily interactions and the employees have been treated the same as everyone else.

“At Corteva Agriscience, we’ve had a great experience working with employees hired through Gateway’s Community Employment Services program,” Administrative Supervisor at Corteva Agriscience Katrin Newton said. “We started with five workers this past year and anticipate that num ber growing with our packaging sea son later this fall. We’ve enjoyed get ting to know these employees in the process. Everyone always comes in with great enthusiasm and willingness to work hard and they do their jobs well.”

Employers can learn more by call ing Community Employment Services Supervisor Michael Brown at 815-8754548, ext. 255. For information, visit Gateway’s Facebook page throughout the month.

Resetich carries Red Devils past Bruins

Resetich ran for 324 yards, 6 TDs

By KEVIN CHLUM kchlum@shawmedia.com

PERU – The Hall football team trav eled down Route 6 to face rival St. Bede with its back against the wall.

The Red Devils entered needing a win to stay in contention for a playoff spot against the six-win Bruins.

Behind a dominant effort from star Mac Resetich, Hall now has a postsea son berth within reach after a 42-27 vic tory Saturday in a Three Rivers Confer ence Mississippi Division game.

“It was a must-win situation,” said Resetich, who ran the ball 39 times for 324 yards and six touchdowns and com pleted 4 of 5 passes for 104 yards. “We’re basically in a playoff situation right now. We can’t lose at all, so obviously it was a big win to get.”

Hall evened its record at 4-4 and will play Bureau Valley (1-7) in Week 9 in Spring Valley.

“It’s huge,” Hall coach Randy Tie man said. “Last week (in a last-second loss to Newman), everything that could have went wrong, went wrong. Against Morrison (an overtime loss in Week 4) where we didn’t recover onside kicks, this team could potentially have been 6-2 right now. We’re not, so we’re still fighting to try to get eligible.

“We’re going home for senior night and Bureau Valley is coming in. We’re not going to take them lightly. We’re going to come in Monday and go to work like we do every week.”

On Saturday, Resetich and his coun terpart John Brady traded punches early as Resetich raced for a 52-yard touchdown on the third play of the game and Brady countered with a 43-yard TD run on the Bruins’ first drive.

Resetich broke free for an 87-yard touchdown with 7:58 left in the second quarter. The Red Devils then took con trol of the game in the final minute of the first half.

Resetich scored his third TD of the game on a 7-yard run with 21.4 seconds left.

On St. Bede’s first play, Hall lineman Joel Koch blindsided Brady, knocking the ball loose. Tristen Redcliff recovered to give the Red Devils the ball on St. Bede’s 34-yard line.

Resetich connected with Joe Schrader on Hall’s first play and after

spiking the ball to stop the clock, he dropped back to pass but scrambled for an 11-yard TD with 3.1 seconds left to give Hall a 28-8 halftime lead.

“It really helped us going into the break,” Tieman said. “We had a lot of confidence going in. We knew it still wasn’t over and we still had to keep playing. They’re learning and they’re getting a lot better.”

The Bruins put together a nine-play, 45-yard scoring drive to start the second half, capping it with an 8-yard touch down pass from Brady to Connor Brown.

However, the Bruins never got closer than 13 points as they couldn’t keep Resetich out of the end zone.

Resetich scored on a 5-yard run, Brady countered with a 1-yard TD run,

Resetich responded with a 13-yard scor ing run and Brady connected with Ben Wallace for a 17-yard TD pass with 6:32 left before the Red Devils ran out the clock, including Resetich sliding down at the 1 with just over two minutes left.

“We had a horrible first half. We didn’t execute our game plan in any phase,” St. Bede coach Jim Eustice said.

“We got behind by too many. We figured we’d have to score almost every time we had the ball [in the second half] and we shot ourselves in the foot and didn’t exe cute after we scored on the first drive and we got behind by too much.”

Resetich has 1,867 yards and 25 TDs on the ground this season.

Saturday was his second game of more than 400 offensive yards this sea son, the sixth game he’s rushed for more than 200 yards and the sixth time he’s scored multiple TDs.

“He’s unbelievable,” said Eustice, whose team slipped to 6-2 with its second loss in a row. “He’s as advertised. Credit to coach Tieman and what he’s done with Hall this year. You have to give credit where credit is due, but we thought we had a good game plan, but we didn’t play as physical as we needed to play.”

Lady Panthers take fourth in TCC Tournament

By KEVIN HIERONYMUS khieronymus@bcrnews.com

Putnam County settled for fourth place in the Tri-County Conference Tournament.

The Lady Panthers fell to Woodland 21-25, 25-19, 25-19 in the third-place match of the TCC tournament Oct. 13 at Seneca

Leading the way for the Panthers (13-11-3) were their two all-tournament selections – Maggie Richetta with 14 kills and Tori Balma with 24 assists and three kills.

PC def. Henry-Senachwine 19-25, 26-24, 25-17: The No. 4 seeded Lady Panthers dropped the first set and trailed 21-7 in the second before rallying to defeat the No. 5 seeded Mallards in their first tournament game Oct. 10.

PC tipped with success in the first set, but six service errors and Henry’s adjustment to tipping itself helped the Mallards turn a 10-9 edge into a 21-16 margin on a kill by Abby Stanbary.

Although PC raced to leads of 9-4 and 13-6, four points by Stanbary later tied it at 15 before a big block and then a kill by Richetta helped close the set.

“I honestly don’t think they had a chance once we got a pass and ran an offense,” PC coach Amy Bell said. “In the first set, we were helter-skelter and out of system a ton. My setter was not touching the ball as much as she nor mally does, so we had to tip. … When we started getting passes where they were supposed to be, we could run a quick offense and swing aggressively. Honestly, as the match went on, we really just settled in.

“I always say that the matches on days when the girls are not in school are the toughest ones. We slept through the first set, but then we woke up and became the aggressive team I’ve seen all year.”

In the third game, Ava Hatton’s eight-point service run opened a 15-9 Panthers lead. A Talur Homann kill got Henry as close as 20-16 before a pair of Richetta aces ended the threat.

“Over the weekend, we didn’t block well and did close out blocks, so that was our goal tonight because when we do, the result is a lot of tip ping,” Henry coach Rita Self said.

“That was the case, we expected it and adjusted to it, but we just weren’t smart in all scenarios. We weren’t taking advantage of matchups when we got down, keeping the ball away from their bigger girls in certain rotations.

“We don’t see a lot of the quicks run very successfully and we didn’t block them at all at the end. I guess we weren’t prepared for those.”

Marquette def. PC 25-16, 27-25: Tori Balma had seven assists, five digs, three kills, three points, two aces and two blocks Wednesday, Oct. 12, as PC fell to No. 1 Marquette in the TCC semifinals.

Avery Moutray added eight digs, two points, an ace and a kill.

PC fifth at Mendota: The Lady Pan thers beat Peoria Christian 25-14, 25-13 to take fifth place in the Mendota Tour nament on Saturday, Oct. 15. In pool play, PC lost to Forreston 25-22, 25-17 and Rockford Christian 25-16, 25-17 while splitting with Ottawa 25-8, 23-25.

Balma had 55 assists, 25 digs, 21 kills, 15 points and two aces for the Panthers, while Richetta contributed 33 kills, 16 digs, 16 points, five aces and four blocks.

Balma surpassed 1,000 career assists during the tournament.
