On Saturday, March 15, the IHSA hosted the 22nd annual Wheelchair State Tournament at the Activities and Recreation Center on the campus of the University of Illinois. 4 teams competed: the Peoria Wildcats, coached by Mike and Katie Van Cleve; the LWSRA/Synergy Hawks #2, coached by Thomas Duffy and Keith Wallace; the Chicago Skyhawks, coached by Daniel Ferrira and Pierre Nealon; and the 2025 State Champion LWSRA/Synergy Hawks #1, coached by Curtis Lease.

Check out the IHSA website for a digital program. Some of these players will be competing in the NWBA National Tournament later this month. Good luck!

A special thanks to all volunteers, fans, and parents; and to IHSA Associate Executive Director Stacie Henry for making this such a special event!
