JaMonte Williams and Fabio Da Rocha leading a run for Parkland, who’s up 36-35 with 14:56 left in the second half.

Parkland down 29-24 at the half. The main problem is they’re fouling too much. Champaign’s JaMonte Williams leading the way with 9 points.

Mary Henson gets a standing ovation at halftime. Trent Sherfield (Danville native who plays for the Denver Broncos) also gets a standing ovation for pulling out the 50/50 winning ticket.

Parkland down 16-15 at the under 8. Lots of good looks but can’t capitalize. Kirkwood seems to travel a lot.
