Tigers Win 7-1. Casey Tyrell threw a complete game only giving up 5 hits and had 3Ks. Matt Marchiniak with a HR and 3RBIs. James Love, Jimmy Anderson, and Christian Chignoli each with an RBI. Tigers improve to 24-4 and 8-0 in conference. #setthetone#4marco
I've done some cool stories in my life. ๐ But I've never done one on a high school athlete who is retiring as the school mascot... ๐ค Until now!!
Excellent stuff from @CaseyTyrell2 on being @jwhstiger!! ๐
Keep Doing Great Things!!
Before I get started...
I, Uncle Curt of South Suburban Hoops, would like to apologize to the Joliet West Basketball community for not knowing enough about #1, Valparaiso commit, Justus McNair.
What I'm tryin' to say is that I knew of him, but I didn't know him, because y'all are too freakin' far down on I-80.
Anyway, this kid was utterly ridiculous tonight on offense and almost pulled off an upset in a 68-66 losing effort against the Homewood Flossmoor Vikings
Every time I inquired about the Regional Finals against Rich township, everybody I talked with said that there was no answer for #1 as he was the best player on the court and single handedly beat the Raptors.
That's all anybody would tell me and they didn't seem surprised, which really peaked my interest.
BET... ๐๐พ
So today, I get a chance to see this guy up close and personal at Rich Township Sectionals and MAAAAN...
He did NOT disappoint.
Hezzie, floater, hard drive to the basket, Deep Three.. #Bucket
Left side, right side.. Attack. And 1... #Bucket
Had me screaming like a little girl all game from his change of pace and desire to win.
Very pleasant to see as Mr McNair ended up with a cool 26 points to end his high school career in the Sectional Semi...
Absolutely nothing to hang your head about sir, you impressed the EL outta Uncle Curt today!
Continued Blessings at Valparaiso -I'mma def be checkin in to see your collegiate progress @justusmcnair1 ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
A really nice celebration this afternoon for @JolietWestAD Girls Bowling ๐ณ team winning the @IHSAState Championship yesterday!! It was the Tigers ๐ 2nd state title (2016), and they bounced back from a 2nd place finish last year to do it this season!!
Keep Doing Great Things!!!
Carson wins 10-2 & finishes in 3rd place! Season record 42-2. Thatโs the highest finish at the state tournament by a Joliet West wrestler since 1992. #TPW4#tigerpride
