Stillman Valley's postseason run ended by defending 2A champion Peoria Notre Dame
MANLIUS, Ill. (WTVO/WQRF) — Stillman Valley didn't have an easy road trying to get to the IHSA Girls' 2A State Tournament. First, they had to get by Byron for a sectional championship. Then Monday night they had to get by defending 2A state champion Peoria Notre Dame at the Bureau Valley Super-Sectional. That test they couldn't quite Notre Dame jumped out to a 10-0 lead and the Lady Irish never trailed. They shot the lights out from behind the arc. Stillman Valley got as close at eight points in the fourth quarter before falling All-State guard Taylor Davidson had a magnificent final game for the Cardinals. She scored 31 was countered by Peoria Notre Dame's Julia Mingus with 25 points and Lexi Baer with 21 Valley's final record is 32-2. For highlights and postgame reaction, watch the media player above.
