PEORIA — Friday night was all about flipping the script at Peoria Notre Dame.
The matchup between Richwoods and PND’s girls teams wasn’t 5:30 p.m. undercard. It was the 7 p.m. main event, a bout between two trains that had been waiting to finally collide and entered the night at undefeated in Big 12 play
