Mattoon Girl's Basketball Advances To Sectional Championship

Tuesday, 21 February 2017

Not one, not two, make it three wins over one opponent in a single season.

That's the accomplishment Mattoon girls’ basketball achieved last night over Effingham, but this third win was even sweeter.

Despite a 12-point halftime deficit, the Green Wave came back to top the Flaming Hearts 56-52 to advance to the sectional championship.

The road to a state title doesn't get much easier from here though as Mattoon now faces another number one seed in Rochester High School.

Rochester has steam rolled through its competition so far beating all of its opponents in the playoffs by double-digits.

The sectional championship tips-off Thursday at 7 p.m. at Decatur MacArthur.
