1A/2A New State Championship Location

Seems reasonable. O'Brien field is a very nice venue.

Where is Peoria? South of I-80?

I'm pretty sure. I called directory assistance down there to find out where it was, but the accent was so thick I couldn't understand the person. Maybe someone built a baseball field in the corn down there, kinda like field of dreams.

Wow...one of those stimulative shovel ready projects I assume.

Not a far drive from St. Rita.

BiggerPapi, just remember we can still use a short stop 23 miles South!!! Definately could have used him last year.

St. Anthony's has one of the big trophies from 2007, fun times and memories that will last a lifetime.

Don't listen to Tuzi, we play better competition down South!!!!! He'd rather be a Bulldog than a Mustang any day.

Ha!

The way this state is shaped, no matter where you had the finals, I'm sure it would be inconvenient for someone.

BTW, I'd sure think the IHSA Bass Fishing State Finals would have to be held down south, huh?

Whats everyone think? With no perfect solution available not sure what else the IHSA could've done.

There's a couple nice ballparks down here in the boondocks of southern Illinois. Or maybe one of them will just pick up the DII CWS after getting snubbed by the I$HA again..

They held the most prestigious bass fishing tournament in the world, The Bassmaster Classic, in Chicago several years ago.

No, that was the Asian Carp Classic!
