Class 5A playoffs: Peoria High travels to Lemont to open the playoffs. If the Lions win, they'd advance to play Morton. Last year the two teams played a wild second-round playoff game in the rain at Peoria Stadium, won by Peoria High, 38-34.

Illinois State hosts Northwestern in a basketball exhibition game Sunday. ISU great Doug Collins will see his alma mater play his son's team. Doug will share the bench with both teams and that will create a different vibe, according to Doug, his son Chris and ISU's Ryan Pedon.

Peoria Christian may be the most improved volleyball team in central Illinois. The Chargers are now 26-5 after winning the ICAC Tournament. They avenged losses to Brimfield and Illini Bluffs teams, which beat them 2 weeks ago. Great effort on this point in the championship match.
