The DePaul Prep Rams took on the Notre Dame Raider (Quincy) in the IHSA 2A Third Place game at the Peoria Chiefs’ Dozer Park. Unfortunately, the Rams came up on the short of end of the crappy scoreboard the Dozer. 7-2.
Even so, it was great experience. It was a little surprise how few members of the press covered the finals. No one except me from Chicago and guy from the St. Louis Post Dispatch, Garen Vartanian, his story is here: https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/columbia-rolls-state-championship-game-230351543.html. It appeared in the Post Dispatch first but its behind a pay wall now). There were a couple guys from Shaw Media covering the 1A games. Maybe it’s just the lack of sports coverage in general or maybe it’s just that high school baseball does not generate a lot of interest.
Nevertheless, it did happened. My photos will prove it. Here are the photos from the third place game.
My last event of the school year. God willing I will be back in the fall.
