The Watseka boys game at Watseka vs Milford on Feb. 13 will be this season's "Throwback Game."
This year we are recognizing the 72 year history of the Iroquois County Tournament.
There will be a 12 page program filled with history and information about the County Tournament that was played from 1926-1997.
Players, cheerleaders, and coaches that participated in the County will also be recognized.
Fans are encouraged to dress as the time period they were in school, as if they were at a county tourney game.
Students should dress in the decade that their parents would have been in.
Both teams will be wearing commemorative warm-ups and the Warriors will be wearing replica uniforms honoring the 1975 State 3rd place team.
The JV game will tip-off at 6:00pm followed by the varsity game.
