Now we need a cross country state championship!
NORMAL, Ill. - Not many schools in Illinois can say they have gone 93 years between state basketball championships.

Hinsdale Central now can.

The school's first title was won by the boys in 1909. This time it was Hinsdale Central's girls who did it with a stunning 43-38 victory over No. 1 Marian Catholic in the Class AA title game at Redbird Arena on Saturday night.

"I can't even describe it—it's terrific," said Hinsdale Central coach Steve Gross, whose teams are 94-4 over the last three seasons.

Melanie Ploger led the Red Devils, who finished the season winning 28 consecutive games, with 17 points—10 of them in the fourth quarter. The 5-foot-5-inch junior hit two big three-pointers to send the Red Devils (34-1) out to a 36-21 lead with 6:17 remaining.

"There was a lot of pressure on them—we were the underdogs," Ploger said."Our team took what they gave us. They were leaving me open.

"I can't even believe it."

The victory gave Hinsdale Central its 64th state athletic title. Only New Trier, with 78, has more.
