Seven Clinton High School signed national letters of intent to pursue athletics as they move on to college. 

Noah Bass signed with The College of DuPage to play football, Ethan Fulmer will play football at Millikin University, Kael Morlock signed to wrestle at Joliet Junior College, Addison Douglas will join the dance team at Southern Illniois-Edwardsville, Drew Moser signed Wartburg College in Iowa to run track and cross country, Addie Koritz will attend Central College in Iowa, and Heidi Humble will play softball at North Park.

Humble says she was looking for a school that had what she wanted to major in.

Moser liked the campus of Wartburg and compared the community to Clinton. He is excited because the campus is very small and when the weather gets bad, there is access to all the buildings without having to step outside.

Three athletes signed national letters of intent in the fall giving Clinton one of its largest - if not the largest - group of seniors to move on to commit to play sports in college. 

We'll have more coverage of this event next week on Regional Radio. 

Normal West used a quick start and held off a late charge by Taylorville in a 5-4 win Thursday afternoon from Taylorville High School.

Kade Beckmier, Clark Durbin, Jacob McWard, and Blake Ladage recorded hits. Ladage added an RBI and Odam had a stolen base for Taylorville. 

The Tornadoes are 12-18 overall. 

Normal West goes to 19-14 overall. 

Cayden Rose's two-run doube in the bottom of the sixth inning gave Maroa-Forsyth a 4-3 as the Trojans held to just get by Prairie Central 4-3 in Class 2A Regional semifinal play Wednesday from the Bloomington Central Catholic Regional.

Wyatt Mammen stuck out ten and led Lincoln to a 4-1 win over Limestone Wednesday from Bartonville in non-conference high school baseball action.

In likely his final tuneup before Regional play next week, the Lincoln senior was lights out as he allowed only an unearned run and zero hits with four walks. He threw 54 of 103 pitches for strikes.

Griffin Shaw drove in two for the Railsplitters. Colby Glenn, Michael Lucas, Branden Wurth, and Trey Schilling had hits as well but Lincoln did not record an extra base hit.

A quick three-run first inning put the Railsplitters up early and Mammen held that lead all the way to the seventh. 

Glenn closed out the victory for Lincoln with a scoreless inning of relief and recorded one strikeout.

The Railsplitters improve to 22-9 overall. They are at Springfield Southeast this afternoon.

Riley Hendren drove in three runs and two Normal Community pitchers combined on a two-hit shutout Wednesday in an 11-0 win over Danville in Big 12 Conference high school baseball action from Normal.

Hendren's two-run home run in the first inning helped Normal Community jump out early. Kyle Beaty added a two-run shot in the second inning. 

Luke Railey, Owen Cavanaugh, and Luke Drengwitz added RBIs for the Ironmen. Kaileb Hackman hit a double and stole two bases while Dexter Niekamp hit a triple. 

Luke Klunke struck out five in three hitless innings. Jack Richards fired two scoreless innings of relief with three strikeouts and permitted two hits.

The Ironmen tie a school record for wins going to 30-3 overall and stay undefeated in the Big 12 Conference at 12-0. They travel to Lincoln-Way Central this afternoon.

In a game heard on WEZC and online at dewittdailynews.com, Luke Teschke's two-run double saved Monticello from a very slow offensive performance as the Sages walked off Warrensburg-Latham 3-2 in the bottom of the seventh inning from a Class 2A Regional semifinal high school baseball game in Monticello Wednesday.

The Sages only mustered three hits through six innings against Cardinals right-hander Brody Garver. 

Ike Young - who was masterful on the mound for Monticello - tattooed the first pitch he saw from Garver to start the seventh inning but Warrensburg-Latham right-fielder John Hall made a great play on the ball for the first out. 

Colton Vance walked following Young's unlucky out and then Dylan Brown reached on an error that set up first and third with one away. Carter Foran hit a ground ball to third and a bobble at first base brought the first Sages run in and set up first and second with one out.

Illinois State-commit Luke Teschke sent the first pitch he saw from Garver high and deep to right field and Hall could not track down this fly ball. With an aggressive lead from first base, Foran was on the heels of Brown all the way to home plate as the Sages mobbed Teschke up the third base line.

Youn permitted two unearned runs in seven innings for the Sages. The junior - with D-I scouts watching - was brilliant in keeping his team in the game. He struck out eight and walked one.

Garver allowed three runs, one was earned, on four hits with two walks and zero strikeouts. 

The Cardinals finish its season 18-11 overall. 

Monticello advances to a Saturday Regional championship against the winner of Thursday's semifinal matchup between Clinton and Tri-Valley. The Sages are 29-4 ovearll.

A late push by Tolono Unity sent them past Monticello 10-4 in Class 2A Regional semifinal high school softball action from the St. Joseph-Ogden Regional Wednesday.

The Lady Sages tied the game at 4-4 after taking an early 2-0 lead. But the Lady Rockets' bats came alive and scored six unanswered runs to put away Monticello.

Sadie Walsh paced Monticello finishing 2-for-4 with an RBI. Avery Schweitzer was 2-for-4 with a run scored. Cassidee Stoeffel and Reese Patton drove in runs for the Lady Sages offense.

Monticello finishes its 2024 campaign 19-13 overall.

A trio of sophomores has been a stabilizing presence in the Clinton Maroons pitching staff this spring.

Jack Manning, Brock Wilson, and Preston Curtis have been a pleasant surprise described by Coach Nate Ennis. While it has been somewhat surprising, Coach Ennis says he knew the three were capable of being this good.

Manning has been able to add more velocity from experience as a freshman into his sophomore season and learned quickly you cannot leave pitches over the plate as kids at the varsity level will hit those mistakes hard.

Wilson worked hard in the off-season to increase his velocity coming into this season. He has also been working on learning his opponents and learning how to approach them.

Curtis worked in the off-season on his mechanics and to improve his velocity. He's been a very reliable and impressive reliever for the Maroons. He says his approach is simple - shut down his opponent.

Coach Ennis credits Curtis for the way he has thrown in his first taste of varsity action calling him the team's most consistent pitcher. The first-year coach says Brock Wilson has been dominant at times while Manning is very consistent with his approach.

The trio of sophomore pitchers helped the Maroons achieve its first 20-win season since 2007 and its first conference title in 20 years.

Clinton opens the postseason Thursday at the Monticello Regional. They will take on Tri-Valley in Regional semifinal play at 4:30 pm. Hear Thursday's action on WHOW and all its digital platforms. 

Clinton could not keep up with Tri-Valley as they rolled to a 15-5, five inning, run-rule win in high school softball Regional quarterfinal action from Downs Monday evening.

Brooke Reeves drove in two runs for Clinton while Heidi Humble and Hadley Humble each drove in a run.

Clinton ends its season 10-15 overall. 

It's off to a Regional semifinal for Tri-Valley at the Normal U-High Regional.

Hayden Romano pitched four innings of one-run ball leading Monticello to a 6-1 win over Okaw Valley in a final tuneup before Regional play this week from Bethany.

Romano allowed a run, one hit, issued one walk and struck out four.

Dylan Brown paced the Monticello offense going 2-for-3 with a double and two RBIs. Luke Teschke was 1-for-2 with a double and an RBI while Colton Vance drove in a run for the Sages.

Michael Lucas' bottom of the seventh-inning run-scoring single broke a scoreless tie and Lincoln walked off Williamsville 1-0 in non-conference high school baseball from Lincoln High School Monday afternoon.
