Host, NHSCA Sports Hour

One of our favorite interviews this year was Gina Nolan of Geneva High School.

Gina joined Trish and myself on January 16th to talk about her return to the bench after her battle against breast cancer.

Today we're happy to report that Nolan and the Vikings have advanced to the Illinois Class 4A quarterfinals.

Geneva advanced to the Round of 8 with a hard fought 55-53 win over Cary-Grove in the Jacobs Sectional final last night. Click here to read the game story of how the Vikings won it in the last seconds.

On Monday, Geneva will face Zion-Benton in the Super Sectional match-up in Barrington.
