		Friday 
		afternoon's Lady Topper game at Redbird Arena in Bloomington-Normal was 
		a thrill ride for fans. As the team played against an equally 
		matched team of Cowden-Herrick, it was a hard battle beginning to end. In the end, however, the Lady Toppers came out on top and the fan section 
		exploded with excitement.  The Toppers will play today for their 
		first-ever chance at a state championship.

							| Coach Eric Leever: "We 
							have nothing to hang our heads about."  His 
							comment, made at the end of the first half, reflects 
							what we all feel. Though the team was slightly 
							behind at that time, they came back full of fight 
							and gave it their all.  While the scoreboard 
							reflects they were nine points short of a victory, our 
							scoreboard says they are winners all the way. The team took Mount Pulaski 
							girls basketball where 
							it has never been before, and we couldn't be 
							prouder! Final score: Aquin 55, Mount Pulaski 46 |
