Thanks again to Saluki senior linebacker Bryce Notree for bringing his passion and energy to the show tonight, and getting us fired up for the Illinois State game this weekend.

After a huge 6-0 win over Du Quoin, the Anna-Jonesboro Wildcats were selected as the Team of the Week.  Matt Varney and Coach Brett Detering discuss that huge win, building a powerhouse like A-J back up, a special fundraiser close to Coach Detering's heart, and the SIRR's conference realignment announced earlier this week:

IHSA Executive Director Craig Anderson spoke with Matt Varney about some of the burning questions surrounding Illinois High School Athletics during the era of COVID-19.  Why must IHSA ask for control of decision-making back when they are not a government entity? How can basketball players play while being expected to wear a face mask?  Is there any hope for fall sports like football, volleyball, and boy's soccer returning this fall?  All those and more questions were answered in this interview.
