It was a night for celebration at Robinson High School Friday night and it had nothing to do with Valentine's Day. Prior to Friday night's Little Illini Conference game against Red Hill, RHS recognized the 10th anniversary of the boys' basketball team's state championship victory at the conclusion of the 2009-10 season.
Tough competition resulted in just shy of a handful of Robinson High School wrestlers continuing their seasons over the weekend. Robinson was host for the IHSA Class 1A Regional Friday and Saturday and the Maroons managed to get four wrestlers to qualify for this weekend's Vandalia Sectional, while finishing fifth in the team standings.
Beating a team three times in a season is never easy and Robinson High School's boys' basketball team made that task as difficult as possible Tuesday night.
The eighth-seeded Maroons gave second-seeded Teutopolis everything they wanted and more, but still came up just short in a 63-58 loss in the semifinals of the IHSA Class 2A Paris Regional.
"I am proud of all of our guys and their efforts tonight," RHS head coach Mack Thompson said. "We just came up a hair short."
Jim Nowlan and I go back a long way, and I can't think of anyone I know who I respect more. That being said, I have a much less dystopian view of the future of newspapers, and particularly community journalism, than the one Jim shared his piece, "Stop the hand-wringing over decline of newspapers," a couple weeks ago. We are a much better product than we give ourselves credit for, and for those committed to community journalism, I believe we have a much brighter future than what some might think.
