Summer is officially here and many basketball programs have taken part in various shootouts across the Land of Lincoln.
Many of the biggest and most popular shootouts host state title-contending teams from larger classes, but smaller schools can find themselves busy too. One of them is the Brimfield Indians, who traveled to Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais to take part in a small-school shootout on June 22 and came away with plenty of encouraging signs for the year ahead.
Most high school basketball teams in Illinois can find shootouts not far from their own backyard, but a special connection allowed Brimfield made the trip to ONU.
