QNC lost yesterday

No. 1 ranked Quincy Notre Dame (very arguable from my personal point of view), a girls basketball team that finished fourth in the state a year ago, lost Thursday night to Highland (not the community college in Freeport), 42-41.

Notre Dame went into the state semis with an undefeated record, but lost its final two games of the year in Normal. This year, QNC was undefeated up until Thursday night.

No. 10 Marshall (21-6)-- a team that plays Class 4A schools in the CPS (Chicago Public Schools) League -- No. 7 Freeport (26-3) and No. 6 Montini (25-4) still remain in regional play.

No. 2 ranked Richwoods is also alive.

The Pretzels will face Sterling for the regional championship game tonight starting at 7:30 p.m.

Should Freeport advance, the team will advance to the sectional semifinal against Hampshire next Monday at 6 p.m.
