One week ago in New Lenox, the Providence Celtic girls varsity basketball team defeated the Joliet Catholic Academy Angels 61-58. The two Roman Catholic schools went after each other for 32 minutes. Revenge. For someone to seek revenge against another fails to follow the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. After the heart-breaking defeat the Angels suffered to their bitter rivals, we believe the Roman Catholic Diocese of Joliet would absolve the Angels in their quest for revenge. Behind a career-high 32-point performance...
After Tuesday's 58-56 overtime loss to arch-rival Joliet Central (3-2, 3-1), the Tigers of Joliet West were looking to bounce back at the expense of the undefeated Plainfield South Cougars on Friday night.

In 2019-20 Joliet West won 29 games and were SPC East Champs...
For anyone who watched Tuesday night's East Suburban Catholic Conference opener for both Benet Academy and Joliet Catholic they would have been amazed to learn it was game No.1 for the Hilltoppers. It was just the second game of 2021 for the visiting Redwings. Despite in-your-face defense by both schools, turnovers were at a minimum, and the game resembled a late-season ESCC battle instead of the ESCC opener for both schools. Benet Academy (2-0, 1-0) prevailed 55-47. The difference in the game turned out to be a 6-foot-2...
