Juniors Place Second at IHSA State Tournament
March 10-11, 2006 in Peoria at March Madness
Friday March 10th Confluence Junior
Center Coast Wheelchair Basketball team defeated the 2nd
seeded Peoria Wildcats 30-26 in their first of three round robin
games at the IHSA State Wheelchair Basketball Championships. Scoring
for Coast was spread evenly between Senior Justin Siebert, and 7th
graders, James Clark and Cameron Oestringer who each had 10 points.
Peoria threatened Coast several times closing leads and tying the
game once in the second half. Scoring for Peoria was Kevin McKee
with 14, Stefan Hall with 8, and Bre Smith with 4.
In their second game Coast faced the #1 Seeds
Windy City Warriors, a big team in numbers and size. They also have
many seniors. The first five minutes Coast played tough defense and
held the score to 2-2. The Warriors size proved to be too much for
Coast and they gradually spread their lead resulting in a final
score of 41-12.
Saturday March 11th at
1:30 Coast defeated the Rockford Chariots 49-14 to take second
place with a 2-1 round robin record. Scoring came from senior Justin
Siebert, 16 points, and 7th graders James Clark (16 pts), Cameron
Oestringer (11 pts), and Colin DeWitt (6 pts).

Coast again had a
close game with the Chairiots, but remained on top by three. Better
teamwork, a day of practice (yesterday's games) and the additional
leadership of Matt Glowacki allowed Coast to close the gaps on games
against the Rams and Wheelhawks. We are looking forward to more
competition after the first of the year.
