Indians' junior captures 160-pound championship in Class 3A state tournament on Saturday.
CHAMPAIGN–Minooka’s Kalvin Hill missed the first half of the wrestling season with a pair of ankle injuries. “I was out the first half of the year because of a football injury,” he said. “I worked in the weight room and the wrestling room. It paid off.” Once he returned, the junior steamrolled the competition on his way to winning the 160-pound championship Saturday night in the Class 3A state tournament at Assembly Hall on the University of Illinois campus. Hill (26-1) beat Proviso West senior Maleek Thurman (33-5) 5-2 in the title match. “It feels great,” Hill said. “Nothing was going to stop me from winning this state championship. This is one of the greatest things to ever happen to me. This has been a great experience for me.” A …

Indians, Wildcats combine to win 9-of-14 individual titles at Class 3A Moline Regional.
Orange and black. Green and white. Those were the dominant colors at the Class 3A Moline Sectional. And they belonged to the two dominant wrestling teams—Minooka and Plainfield Central.

Hill rushes for three touchdowns to push Indians to the Class 7A state football quarterfinals.
Saturday night's Class 7A second-round playoff game between No. 2 seed Plainfield South and No. 3 Minooka lived up to the hype — and then some. After a fierce struggle that featured plenty of twists and turns, Minooka junior Douglas Sachtleben intercepted a pass from Plainfield South's Sheldon Magee near the goal line to preserve the Indians' 41-38 upset of the host Cougars. Minooka (10-1) advances to the state quarterfinal round to host No. 5 Belleville East (9-2) next weekend. The time and date will be released Monday afternoon. "There were a lot of heroes tonight," Minooka coach Bert Kooi said. "In a football game like that, I guess there has to be." "We weren't at full strength tonight, and it's been that way most of the year," …

Cougars play host to Indians in second-round Class 7A football playoff tussle.
Although it's in its infancy, the Ridge Road Rivalry has taken off. Plainfield South earned bragging rights and ownership of the street sign by posting a 41-31 victory over Minooka a month ago in Plainfield. Now, Minooka wants revenge and the sign back. The Indians (9-1) will get their chance during a Class 7A second-round matchup against the Cougars (9-1) at 6 p.m. Saturday at Plainfield South. "There are a lot of things that go into this game and there always is when Plainfield South and Minooka play," Minooka coach Bert Kooi said. "It's a rivalry game to begin with, it's a conference game and it's the Ridge Road Rivalry. It'll be a great high school football game." "Right now it's up in the air, it's anyone's game and we'll see what …
