The boys high school basketball season in Central Illinois continues to provide more questions than answers, even 20 games into the season.
Following a week where several top squads lost, Tremont broke out to win the Heart of Illinois Conference Tournament as a No. 6 seed, and Metamora regained its stride, the question that applies in each scenario is ‘Who is actually good and can make a deep postseason run?’
