Basketball notebook

OGLESBY — The 1987-88 and 1988-89 Illinois Valley Community College men’s basketball teams will be inducted into the IVCC-LPO Hall of Fame class of 2013.

The 1987-88 and 1988-89 teams are being honored together because they shared many of the same stars: Mark Cooper, John Freeman, Adrian Hutt, Chris Daniels and Corey Akers – and the same Dean Riley-led coaching staff.

The 1987-88 team finished 27-9, won the college’s first Region title in 29 years and captured third at the Division II National Junior College Athletic Association championships at University Center, Mich. – the highest finish in school history. Daniels was Region IV tournament MVP and Riley won Region IV Coach of the Year for the N4C conference co-champion Apaches (12-2).
