The largest amphibious invasion in human history began in the dark.
At dawn on June 6, 1944, nearly 7,000 vessels carrying 160,000 Allied troops closed in on the beaches of Normandy.
Through courage and sacrifice, they secured a foothold in Nazi-occupied France and began the liberation of Western Europe.
Today, we honor the heroes of D-Day.
We share our condolences with the family of Carl Poelker, the longtime head coach at Millikin and founder of the McKendree program. He was loved and appreciated and will be missed by many.
East St. Louis senior forward Jamison White is suspended for tonight’s game. There needs to be consequences for actions but the alleged adults in the room — refs and @IHSA_IL — need to be able to say “maybe we overreacted” to White’s reaction after getting shoved down.
As our season moves into its final phase, we are again this season asking for some help financially. With a growing roster and aging resources we are looking for donations to help supply our athletes as they compete.
thank you for your contributions.
