3 NUIC Regional Champs!
On Friday night, the Orangeville Boys Basketball Team traveled to Elgin for the Regional Championship game (their 3rd trip to Elgin that week). The Broncos claimed the championship and advanced to the Pecatonica Sectional where they will face the East Dubuque Warriors tomorrow. East Dubuque won the Stockton Regional with a win over the Milledgeville Missiles. This places 3 teams from the NUIC in the Pecatonica Sectional.
On a side note--kudos to Tyler Daves who started the Broncos on the road to their Regional title as he coached the teams there for many years previous. Congrats Coach Daves!
