Marquette Academy announced yesterday that they would not be participating in the proposed IHSA winter basketball season if it does take place against the current recommendations of both the Illinois Department of Public Health and the Illinois State Board of Education.
The announcement comes after The Catholic Diocese of Peoria informed the schools in their diocese (including Marquette Academy) they would not be participating in the proposed winter basketball season.
Marquette Principal Brooke Rick confirmed the school will not field teams during the IHSA’s increasingly abandoned but as of now basketball winter season.
St. Bede Academy athletic director Nick McLaughlin said that while St. Bede doesn’t technically “have to adhere to Peoria Diocesan policy,” the school does “try to align to the diocese standards.”

On the North Side, Javier Báez won his first Gold Glove Award, becoming the first Cubs shortstop to take home the honor since Don Kessinger in 1970. Anthony Rizzo claimed his fourth Gold Glove Award for first base. Rizzo picked up his second in a row and is now tied with Mark Grace for the most Gold Gloves by a Cubs first baseman.
