There were no cheerleaders, concessions or raffles on Friday when the Tuscola boys basketball team hosted Arthur-Lovington-Atwood-Hammond in the first high school basketball game in Central Illinois since March 2020. https://t.co/YvHBssdk1O
It was all Tuscola in the second quarter as the Warriors lead 33-16 at halftime over ALAH. @jalen_quinn hit a last second 3-pointer before the halftime buzzer and Grant Hardwick had 13 points in the second quarter. Quinn had 10 points in the half.

All eyes are on @TuscolaAD and how it goes with tonight's games. So far it has been a very professional and controlled night. Fans have been great and everyone has been genuinely thrilled to be here. 25 fans for each team which are made up of players' family members.
Also interesting to note, no jump balls this season. Visitors get the ball at midcourt.
Extra "media timeout" around the 5 minute mark of each quarter to allow players to breath. Players are playing with masks on.
Tuscola and Arthur-Lovington-Atwood-Hammond JV playing. Not typically newsworthy but today as the first high school game in Illinois to be played it is pretty great.
