It probably came as no surprise to fans of McKendree University or Vandalia grad Eric Hobbie.

Within the last week, the American Midwest Conference men’s basketball coaches met to make their preseason selection for the best team in the conference, and seven of the AMC coaches were of one mind. They cast their first-place votes for the McKendree Bearcats, who finished with 49 points. Park University finished second with 42 points and one first place vote.

ST. ELMO – Brownstown coach Toby Harms knew he had a challenge on his hands once Patoka was upset and had to settle for playing in the silver flight of the Egyptian-Illini Conference Tournament last Thursday.

After his team beat Mulberry Grove (25-14, 17-25, 15-8) and lost to St. Elmo (12-25, 9-25) last Tuesday to advance to the silver flight, Harms immediately knew what his team needed to do to be successful against the No. 2 seed two days later.
