If you played or went to high school basketball games in Illinois, you know that March Madness originated here.
As I’m sitting here watching Warren at Waukegan in the sectional finals, it brings me wonderful memories of playing high school basketball.
But that’s not what this is about.
The greatest thing about high school basketball is the student section. That’s the one thing that’s missing from NBA games and a lot of college games. There’s no experience like being in a gym when you can’t hear yourself think and the building is shaking on its foundation.
As I’m writing this, Brandon Paul and Jeremy Richmond are battling in an epic battle. Both of whom are going to U of I.
To get back to the point, there’s nothing like watching a game at Waukegan. There are a couple of thousand people at every game and each basket is followed by deafening cheers.
So if you are a fan of basketball, do yourself a favor and watch the high school tournament that’s being shown on UPN and Comcast 63/100. The sheer emotion and game play is amazing. It’s more exciting than watching an early round big ten tournament game.
