  Kayla Lindon knew her Parkview Christian team was young, but
• 0:26
  she also anticipated that they would be good. How good well,
• 0:32
  The Falcons coach received an early indication when her team
• 0:35
  won the Chicago Christian Thanksgiving Tournament. Seeing their caliber of play,
• 0:40
  I was like, wow, Lyndon said, we have a lot
• 0:43
  of potential. The potential is there to make history next week.
• 0:51
  Parkview Christian, with just one senior, is twenty six to
• 0:54
  three going into its regular season finale. The Falcons, they
• 1:00
  did number two in the Indian Creek Sectional, have a
• 1:03
  shot at winning the school's first IHSA regional title. Next
• 1:06
  week at Amboy, Parkview Christian opens regional play against Ottawa Marquette,
• 1:12
  a team that has already beaten by seventeen or Gardener
• 1:15
  South Wilmington, oh Win and the Falcons would likely play
• 1:18
  third seeded and regional host Amboy. We have looked at
• 1:23
  all the teams in our regional Linden said, if we're
• 1:25
  clicking on all cylinders, there are not too many teams
• 1:28
  that can beat us. That's if we're doing well. The
• 1:32
  Falcons have four sophomores and two freshmen on their roster.
• 1:35
  Leading the way is sophomore Tessa new freshman Ren Stoddacher
• 1:39
  and junior Abbey Carlisle. Ren and Abbey are getting ten
• 1:43
  to fourteen rebounds a game, Linden said their beasts on
• 1:46
  the board. Girls' basketball success is nothing new for Parkview Christian.
• 1:52
  The program went seventy seven to nine over a three
• 1:54
  year period from twenty twenty one to twenty twenty four,
• 1:56
  with the record thirty wins. In twenty twenty two, won
• 2:01
  the Association of Christian School's International Tournament and took third
• 2:04
  at the National Christian School Athletic Association Tournament. But this
• 2:09
  is just Parkview Christian's second year competing in the Illinoishigh
• 2:12
  School Association playoffs. Getting some hardware would be amazing. Every
• 2:16
  team's goal, Linden said. Parkview has not had any hardware
• 2:20
  in an IHSA series. We've done some homework, watched game film,
• 2:24
  but we're focused on our team. Also in the Indian
• 2:29
  Creek Sectional, Yorkville Christian sixteen to eleven, is looking to
• 2:32
  build off winning the program's first regional championship last season.
• 2:37
  The Mustangs are the No. Four seed in a regional
• 2:40
  at Serena, but are perhaps better than their seed would indicate.
• 2:45
  Yorkville Christian is seven to zero against Class one A
• 2:47
  schools this season. Its non conference schedule included four games
• 2:50
  at the Montine Christmas Tournament and a game at Class
• 2:53
  three A, fifth rank Dixon this month. We're relying on
• 2:57
  that tough schedule to prepare us, Yorkville Christian could coach
• 3:00
  John McCadam said. We feel pretty confident. We have the
• 3:03
  pieces in place. We just have to play to our abilities.
• 3:07
  Yorkville Christian opens regional play against the Newark Serena winner.
• 3:10
  The Mustangs just won at Serena last week. Should the
• 3:13
  two advance, Yorkville Christian and Parkview Christian could face off
• 3:16
  in a sectional final. Yorkville Christian won the regular season meeting.
• 3:21
  Yorkville Christian is coming off of forty eight to forty
• 3:24
  two win over Bishop McNamara, a game in which Hope
• 3:26
  commit Peyton Wallin scored thirty two points. She's our focal
• 3:34
  piece and everybody knows that. McCadam said, that's where the
• 3:38
  younger girls, the Heron Sistory and Riley Keana Gay have
• 3:41
  at various times stepped up. We're not just a one
• 3:44
  person team in Class four A. Oswego East seventeen to
• 3:51
  ten is the eighth seed in the East Roar Sectional
• 3:54
  and opens with nine seeded Nuqua Valley at the Benet
• 3:56
  Regional on Tuesday. The Wolves beat the Wildcats three in January.
• 4:03
  Should the Wolves win, they'd likely face No. One seed
• 4:06
  Bene twenty four to four in a regional final. It's
• 4:10
  a daunting task, but Oswego East is coming off and
• 4:13
  eye opening seventy three to sixty nine at number three
• 4:15
  seed Naperville Central last Saturday, Seniors Aubrey Limberti and Desire Merit,
• 4:21
  both four year starters who could finish one two on
• 4:23
  Oswego East career scoring list, each had twenty one points
• 4:26
  in that game. If that doesn't show where a high
• 4:28
  caliber team, I don't know what does. Merritt said. We're
• 4:31
  trying to do what we can to win. Anything can happen.
• 4:35
  Ten seeded Yorkville plays fifth seeded Lockport in a regional
• 4:39
  semifinal Tuesday, at Yorkville, the winner likely facing Bowling Brook
• 4:43
  in a regional final, while eleven seeded Oswego faces seven
• 4:47
  seeded Plainfield North, a team that split two games with
• 4:50
  during the regular season, in a regional semifinal Monday, with
• 4:54
  the winner likely get regional host Walbonsee Valley in a
• 4:58
  regional final. In Class three A, six seeded Plano faces
• 5:03
  third seeded Ottawa in a regional semifinal at elisal Peru Tuesday,
• 5:07
  And in Class two A, seven seeded Sandwich faces second
• 5:10
  seeded and regional host Winnepego in a regional semifinal Monday,
