Let's hear your Illinois Girls Area Top 10 lists... who they are, and why you are placing them where you are...

I will take a stab at it by saying the following:

1. Quincy Notre Dame (no chinks in the armor from playing local schools)
2. West Hancock (Titans playing good defense but questions exist from last year as to whether they can generate enough offense)
3. Illini West (just at the boys team has, inconsistency issues but are capable of winning big games)
4. West Central
5. Jacksonville Routt
6. Pittsfield
7. Central/Southeastern
8. Liberty/Payson
9. Macomb
10. Take your pick

10. Take your pick I guess we'll know more after tonight on the 1 & 2 teams. As for CSE, it was proven again this week that on a given night almost any team can beat almost any other, with CSE's loss to Unity. Who woulda thunk?

And then CSE turns around and thumps a pretty decent Monmouth Roseville team by a lot.

Exactly! On a given night!

I have no idea how to rank a top 10 in the area as the only two area teams Ive seen are QND and Macomb. I do know that Im excited for QND WH tonight though. Both teams are still very good but flawed from what I can gather. WH seems to have some really bad offensive droughts and from what I've read it seems like their guards are still maturing. QND is young as 2 freshman are in the starting lineup and has battled some injury problems. I think they will gel before the postseason, but they haven't had a chance to yet. Tonights game should be an excellent measuring stick for both teams.

Should be a great game. I'm expecting scores in the 40s, maybe 30s depending upon how the teams can shoot the ball. I think WH will try to slow the pace like last year and force QND to earn their points. I am really scared about the young WH guards being able to handle the QND press. Most likely Marley Hall will be helping them but I sure hope they are ready. If they can't get the ball up the floor, this game could get ugly.
