Carterville's Alex Kimbrough was selected to the All-Tourney Team. Alex was outstanding all week finishing with 43 points in the four games.
The Lions will play the next two games at home this week. Tuesday night, the Lions will host the Vienna Eagles and on Friday night, SIRR Conference play begins as cross-county rival Herrin Tigers come to town.
You can hear the games on NewsRadio WJPF (AM1340/FM99.5 and wjpf.com) starting with pre-game coverage at 7:30 PM both night. We'll have our YouTube livestream as well.
Speaking of YouTube livestreams....
I'm sorry there were issues with our Youtube livestream this past week. Unfortunately, I was unable to get a good enough signal to livestream the games. It's hit or miss in that area, and it was a miss all week long. I tried several things to try and get the broadcast online with no success.
Hope to see you at the games this week at CHS.
