Illinois Basketball Fact: For decades the News Gazette & the Chicago Daily News All-State Teams were considered by Illinois basketball fans to be the true All-State Teams. The Daily News published their team prior to the state tournament & the News Gazette after the tourney.

Basketball Museum of Illinois Team of the Week: The 1934 Quincy Blue Devil Team (31-2) coached by Sam Storby made their 1st trip to the state finals & they made the most of it by defeating defending state champions Thornton 39-27. Their "fly paper sticky defense" did the trick.
