1981-82 State Basketball Simmons and Novesek

In 1982 Lawrenceville Illinois High School played Herscher High School in the State Basketball tournament.  Were you there? It was an exciting game! If you missed it, you can watch it here as well as interviews with Ron Felling.

The Lawrence County Historical Society has the original tape of that game and has posted it on their YouTube channel, lawrencelore.   Because of its age and original length, the video had to be produced for YouTube in three parts. Make sure you watch it in order, Part one, Part two, and Part three. Thanks to Phil N for preparing the video.


Championship final game against Monmouth will be aired Friday April 18.
