It wasn’t the outcome we hoped for but we couldn’t be more proud of the Varsity Boys 🏀 team and the coaches. Huge thanks to everyone who came out and supported the Minutemen in the Elite 8. #LexGoPurp

Super-Sectional Ticket Information Update (12:00 pm)
- Will we be able to buy tickets at the door? Yes, but expect long lines. ISU is short staffed and is strongly encouraging everyone to buy tickets digitally to speed up the process. If you need to buy a ticket you can use the North ticket window or Eastside entrance.
- Who needs to buy a ticket? Everyone 2 years and older must have a ticket to get in the arena.
- Is there a "clear bag policy"? No, but all bags are subject to search. ISU staff strong discourages anyone bringing a bag into the arena. Large backpacks will not be allowed. No outside food or drink.
- Will the game be streamed? Currently, we have been told that NFHS will be broadcasting the game but there is not a link available at this time. Please watch for updates on the NFHS website throughout the day.
**Please keep an eye on the school website and Facebook for more information throughout the day.

As a result of the success of our varsity boys' basketball team advancing to the Sectional Championship this Friday at 7pm in Watseka, we will be rescheduling our Spring Concert for our 5th-12th band and choir students. We want to make sure that both our basketball team and our music programs are given the attention and support that they both deserve and not competing against each other if we can help it. Therefore, we will be moving our Spring Concert to an open evening on the events calendar on Tuesday, March 15th at 7 p.m. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes. We hope that you consider attending both events and continuing to support our Minutemen!
