Sophomore Chace Sterling led three players in double figures with 19 points to lead the Red Devils to a nonconference victory Saturday in Spring Valley. The BV girls notched 1 68-27 win for Illinois in the IHMVCU Iowa-Illinois Shootout at Wharton Fieldhouse in Moline.

Trailing St. Bede by as many as 16 points in the first half, Woodland's boys basketball team grabbed a three-point lead just before the conclusion of the third quarter and didn’t let it go on its way to a 59-54 Tri-County Conference win.

The Hall boys basketball team outscored Princeton 16-3 to close out the third quarter, ending on an 11-0 run. That proved just the ticket to send the Red Devils to a 52-49 Three Rivers East win.
