2028 @MetamoraBBB Sam Koch had a strong spring for our 16U @MidProAcademy team. His new jump shot showed improvement from 3 and the mid range. He has also shown more aggression in his game. 6’4 guard has plus length and plus athleticism. Excited for High School ball in June!
What a day for Metamora!
The Redbirds bring home the IHSA 2A boys track and field state championship!

@ib327athletics@DunlapAthletics@wchs_308sports Add another one for Metamora!!
Jaiduan Cranford anchors the 4x200 to a victory by overtaking Mt. Zion on the final leg.
Huge win for the Redbirds, who are hunting down a team state title.
@ib327athletics@DunlapAthletics Metamora’s Zach Born wins the 2A 800 in 1:51.18!
A come from behind effort as he clips IVC’s Aiden Duhs by 27 hundredths of a second.
Some clips of our spring skill work during 8th Hour 🏀 class. We are blessed to have a class period where coaches can work with our players everyday.
Here’s a look at what we’ve been doing on Tuesdays and Thursdays in April and May. Open gym starts after class is over.
@Mike_Jagacki Great way to look at building your offense!
In college, I realized how difficult guarding the Princeton offense was when preparing in practice for teams that ran it.
I knew when I got into coaching that we would run Princeton stuff in some form.
Just a reminder as all of these NBA combine & pre-draft shooting drills make their rounds on social media. Every NBA player is a great shooter during their rehearsal… when the shots have very little variability, are self-paced, pre-determined & without any defense or decisions.
@CoachMarcusMTXE@MetamoraBBB I played at Richwoods too! They got rid of the Mid State 6. Pekin left after 2006 and Woodruff closed a few years later. The 4 Peoria Schools now play in the Big 12 with Danville, Bloomington public schools, and Champaign public schools.
Our kids in 8th Hour Basketball each put up over 2,000 shots over the last 6 weeks going 3x per week at about 120-150 shots each class.
We did a ton of differential learning with various footwork, arcs, and movement as well as some decision-making, and live/pressure shots.
@StMaryHoops@MetamoraBBB 14 Shot Test was 7 spots (corners, wings, slots, and top) going around and back for a total of 14 at the beginning and end each day. We wanted to track something for all 6 weeks.
230 is 2 min, 30 sec shooting with a partner alternating btw HS 3s, NBA 3s, and mid range shots.
