RCA Girls are Top Seed in IACS State Tournament

Romeoville Christian Academy's girls' basketball team will be heading to Schaumburg Christian for the Illinois Association of Christian Schools State Tournament as the number 1 seed after finishing 18-1. Last year’s team finished around .500 and entered the same tournament as the 6 seed. Romeoville Christian returned all five starters which has helped the team immensely. This season the Kingsmen were led in scoring this year by Freshman Jessie Perez who averaged 12.5 per game followed by Junior Captain Angelina Byers with 9.3 and Senior Captain Lauren Johnson with 9.2. These three helped their team average a 13.7 point victory per game. Rebounding was big for RCA who averaged 39.3 rebounds per game as a team led by Junior Erica Ware with 11.2 and Junior Captain Casey Perez with 8.9. Jessie Perez also contributed 3.5 steals per game for the Kingsmen who are seeking their first ever IACS Championship in girls' basketball. The Kingsmen will take on the 8 seed Calvary Baptist of Chillicothe at 9:30 AM in a quarterfinal match-up. 

Last Friday the Lady Kingsmen ended their regular season on a winning note defeating the Crossroads Crusaders of Big Rock, IL by a score of 31-23. It was a slow offensive night for Romeoville Christian as they only had one player, Casey Perez, break double digits with 12. Casey also pulled down 13 rebounds making this her first double-double on the season. Jessie Perez added 5 steals for the Kingsmen. Romeoville will head up to Schuamburg for the IACS State Championship on Friday February 28.
