Re: 2021-22 Illinois Discussion
I'll give my Southern Illinois thoughts. The race for the 618 will be between Carbondale and Granite City [in AA], and should be comfortably be taken by Southwestern in A. Giifti Benti is a very good Lit/FA player for Carbondale, and should lead them to their typical level of success. Granite City g...

He has put up very good ...
