Good Saturday Morning, Cougar Fans!
I have a couple of things for you this morning.
1st...I wanted to share with you a link to watch IC Alumni Khloe Damm play basketball today in Kankakee with her Black Hawk College teammates.
We never forget one of our own!
Sorry about the photo, Khloe...I had too!
Here is the link to Kankakee's YouTube Channel:

Also...don't forget that tonight is Meet the Cougars starting at 5 p.m. Admission is free, but we ask that you donate some water or other sports drink in place of paying a gate fee.
We look forward to seeing a packed gym once again to kick off the basketball season.

Happy Friday, Illini Central fans!
This morning, we got a chance to sit down for our 1st Illini Central Sports Network Podcast of the year.
In this episode, Senior Kolbi Johnson discusses her years of playing volleyball, life lessons from the game, the drive to be successful, her plans for the future & her leadership role that led to being the "Grandma" of this year's volleyball team.

If you have a second, take a listen. Have a great weekend.

Illini Central doesn't have any games on the schedule for this evening.
We thought with the ICHS Lady Cougar Basketball team getting their season started on Monday...we'd share the home game schedule.
We would love to see you at The Cougar Den for some games this season.
If you can't make it...each of these games will be broadcast LIVE on The Illini Central Sports Network.
Here is the link to our YouTube Channel where you can find games from the past as well the links for the ones in this graphic:

Happy Friday, Illini Central Cougar fans!
Early November is the calm before the Friday night basketball storm, but tonight our gyms will be empty, so we decided to share a couple more IC Athlete Spotlights. 8th graders Cerenitii Bard & Xavier Stark are the focus of these two.
The spotlights can be found in the News section of the Activities page on our website.
Here are direct links, but make sure to head over to illinicentral.org for all things Illini Central:
