The IHSA Class 1A girls’ sectional is playing on the Hilltop this week and Illinois Valley Community College couldn’t be happier.

It is the first time IVCC has landed an IHSA event. IVCC athletic director Tommy Canale said being able to “showcase our great facility is beyond words.” He said they will continue to explore bringing future IHSA events to IVCC.

“This is a great event to host, and we are happy we are given the opportunity to do so,” he said. “All of us are excited we were selected and hope to continue to do so in the future and maybe add one in the boys’ side one day soon. I am very proud of what IVCC has to offer everyone in our area, not just in athletics, but also in academics. We are a quality institution. I feel this exposure will help us in our recruiting efforts as others get a first-hand look at our facility.
