Rural Streater – The worst time for an Illinois High School Basketball Team is to hit a cold streak when the weather starts to heat up.
Unfortunately, what happened to the sixth seed Woodland Warriors, who had lost his fourth straight game and his season suddenly stopped in the quarter-finals of Class 1A Lexington Regional on Monday evening, in which the 13th seed corn Kriston Christian lost 44-41 in Warrier Dome.
“This is a long season,” Woodland coach Connor Kaminke said, “I just tried to tell the children, they do not define the last three games what we have completed. It is difficult to get out of our brain, but we had an incredible season, children worked their bums.
“It just smells that we have to go out like this.”
“I just tried to tell the children, these three games do not tell what we have completed. It is difficult to get out of our mind, but we had an incredible weather, children worked their butts. It just smells that we have to go out like this. ,

Nick Playsco had 14 points, nine ribounds and four assistance and Conor Dodge 10 points for Woodland, which ended its season 17–14. Single-session 3-point record-holder Tucker Hill added six points to two 3s and Jonathan Moore added five points and three stolen with five points.
Cyclone, now 12-20, on Wednesday night semifinals vs. Gibson City-Melvin-Sibli proceeds on the host site.
Cornerstone coach John Shipar said, “It is remembering very little banij, but defense is something we promote.” “This is going to win for us. I mean, keeping a team for 41 points, you have got a very good shot to win the game. ,
As it had a case in two previous losses, Woodland’s ability to make shots dried up at the wrong time on Monday. After a respectable inauguration-Ultter shooting performance, the Warriors were ahead 14–12 at the end of the quarter after making 6 out of 14 attempts led by Nine-points after the shooting performance, Woodland scored just five points in the second and third quarters. During those mid-periods, 3 out of 23 from the host area, 3 out of 7 from free-thro line and 1 out of 8 from 3-point distance.
“I think we scored 10 points in the middle two quarters and perhaps three field goals,” Kaminke said. “I think there was a stretch where we missed six pastes in a row, it looks great on the rim that the bus didn’t fall. Thankfully we preserved well to maintain those few runs, but [Cornerstone] Played enough to get the lead.
“We finally burst a small. This was not just enough. ,
Despite this, Warriors found themselves back only three points, 27-24, growing in the fourth quarter. He tied it 27–27 on a conver-plain on a conver-plain under two minutes in the final quarter, but the corrustone Christian’s Will Thoma (10 points, nine ribounds, four aids) responded with an interior bucket, to return the Cyclone 14 seconds later. It was a prominent that would hold visitors despite clutch buckets under the stretch from Moore, Kenny Uuts, Playsco and Hill.
Woodland shot 7 out of 11 in the fourth quarter, but it could not make 33.3% shooting (16 out of 48 of 48) including 31.6% (6 out of 19) from the 3-point range and his 42.9% clip (3) from the free-thro line was not included.
Cornerstone Christian did not shoot much better-36.6% (15 out of 41), 3-point arc to 11.1% (1 out of 9) and 56.5% from free-thro line (13 out of 23)-but it was enough to take Cyclone to a Woodland Squad from 2012-13 and end the winning weather.
“I give all the credit to my superiors,” Kaminke said about Utse, Hill, Moore, Breeden Folmer, Logan Steicwist and Isaac Folmer. “Our programs and culture are those where they are thanks to them.”
