The Road to Champaign
”

In his thirteenth year of coaching, Bill Geist took his Redwings to Champaign after winding up a suc- cessful 1981-82 season with an Elite- Eight status. After winning both the regional and sectional tournaments, the team travelled to the DeKalb Su- persectional to take on the Rockford Boylan Titans. Finishing their season with an overall record of 26-3, the Redwings conquered the Titans at Northern Illinois University ' s Assembly Hall 56-43. Setting their sights on the Class AA State Tournament, the Redwings, followed by hundreds of fans, travelled to Champaign to take on tournament-favorite Quincy. In a Friday night quarter-final game, the Redwings proved their strength matching the Quincy Blue Devils. However, Quincy ' s talented players and a 63 game winning streak out- lasted the Redwings, and they pulled ahead in the final quarter. The Red- wings were defeated by Quincy 65- 45. The team was greeted by faculty and students in a Monday morning pep-rally honoring their players for attaining the Elite-Eight status and for playing a wonderfully exciting season. %nt

We turned out in droves for March Madness games, screaming Moser! Moser! ; Osh! ; Collins! Collins! P.C. ' ; Juice! ; and Big Mack Attack! in honor of our starting five. Basketball fans crawled out of the woodwork and parents stood to see the games; their enthusiasm sparked our cries of Defense! Defense! During the regional final game against Naperville North, we per- fected our new Whoosh-Face! as the Wings sank 21 perfect free throws. From there we cheered the team on to victories over West Au- rora, Glenbard North, and Rockford Boylan as they earned their passage to the Elite-Eight and Assembly Hall. But we had known from the begin- ning — had shouted Where ' re we goin ' ? State! State! since Naper- ville Central. And finally we were there, surviving long bus rides and frantic searches for lodgings near Cham- paign, battling it out with the Quincy fans. Watching their disjointed attempts at Whoosh, we nudged each other as if to say — now the originators are here — Here ' s how it ' s done! As fans we gave our all, as a team they gave their all. And then there was the last chant — We are proud of you, say, we are proud of you! Sweet Sixteem
