Less than two weeks after Governor JB Pritzker and the Illinois Department of Public Health announced high school sports would return, the Clinton Maroons will hit the hardwood tonight taking on Cerro Gordo-Bement at Clinton High School.
As of late as last Thursday afternoon, first-year head coach Dan Luketich did not know what the schedule would look like. He says in the meantime, they are trying to keep things simple.
After tonight's opener against Cerro Gordo-Bement, the Maroons hit the road for three straight games at Meridian, Central A&M and at Decatur St. Teresa.
The Maroons have 16 games in total on the schedule with non-conference matchups set with Fisher, Champaign St. Thomas More, Arthur-Lovington-Atwood-Hammond and Maroa-Forsyth.
Usually a marathon of a season, basketball wraps up in just six weeks.
