Now, many young basketball players in Central Illinois will look up to Peters as their hero.

JOLIET — Baseball is a game of inches. A pitch an inch more outside. A glove an inch more to the right. A swing an inch more out in front. If all — perhaps even one — of those things happened, Normal Community would have been playing for a Class 4A baseball state title. But none of those minute measurements favored the Ironmen as they endured a 2-1 loss in eight innings to Libertyville in Friday’s Class 4A state semifinal at Slammers Stadium in Joliet.

BLOOMINGTON - The first official practice of Normal Community's baseball season began inside the school's gym, where head coach Ryan Short pointed out an eyesore. "We looked at that wall where all the orange [state] banners hang and we said 'There's a hole and we haven't put a baseball one up there in a while,'" Short said. That void will be no more after the Ironmen won Monday's Class 4A Illinois Wesleyan Super-Sectional 2-0 over Aurora Waubonsie Valley at Jack Horenberger Field.

BLOOMINGTON - It wasn't easy for Normal Community, but it wasn't supposed to be. The pendulum was heavily swung - twice - in favor of O'Fallon in Saturday's Class 4A Illinois Wesleyan Sectional title game. But the Ironmen were just that: grizzled, tough and confident competitors that came out of a seven-inning gauntlet with a 10-8 victory.
