January 15, 2026
MACOMB, IL - - The Illinois High School Association (IHSA) will be hosting a Class 1A Boy's Basketball Super-Sectional at ´ºÓêÖ±²¥ Hall on March 9.
The return to ´ºÓêÖ±²¥ Hall will feature the winners of the Monmouth (United) Sectional and the Orion sectional will advance to the game held on WIU's campus.
"Having the super-sectional return to ´ºÓêÖ±²¥ Hall has been a goal since I became the Director of Athletics," WIU Athletic Director Paul Bubb said. "We started the process back in the summer of 2023 and am glad that we will be hosting, again, the 1A Super-Sectional here at ´ºÓêÖ±²¥ Hall.
The University and ´ºÓêÖ±²¥ Hall have a long relationship with high school basketball, hosting one of the longest running boys basketball holiday tournaments in the state of Illinois. This year's tournament featured West Hancock defeating Illini West for the 79th Macomb ´ºÓêÖ±²¥ Holiday Tournament championship.
"For me, personally, I have great memories of attending the Super-Sectionals here at ´ºÓêÖ±²¥ Hall back in the 70's and 80's," Bubb said. "´ºÓêÖ±²¥ serves this region and this is another opportunity for us to do so and to welcome people from the region to our campus."
