Kingman Gym @ Ottawa

A MUST 👀 Super-Sectional! One of the loudest gyms I’ve ever been to! Over 2,500 in attendance. The Pirates are outstanding hosts. There’s a reason Kingman is one of Best Gyms in Illinois. You want that rowdy March Madness atmosphere, you come to Ottawa 🔴⚫️

There are a few tickets available for the Ottawa Super-Sectional. They are listed on the IHSA page under GoFan.

Congratulations to Ottawa High School Head Boys Basketball Coach Mark Cooper on becoming the all time winningest boys basketball coach at Ottawa.

[Bob Bartman @bob_bartman]

Coach Cooper has been an incredible mentor and friend to me over the years. I’m honored to be on his staff and to learn from one of the best. This doesn’t happen by accident. He’s an extremely hard worker and cares deeply about his players, past and present.
