In local girls' soccer -- PCS' Cortney Allenbaugh scored three goals over the weekend to total 25 on the season - the area's best total and her team, the Chargers head into the state series seeded #1 in the Region. Not too far behind her in the scoring race are Holly Bennett of Morton, Kayla Mueller and Kayla Campbell of Morton also, Sam Miller, Jill Sidler - the only sophomore form the list of top scorers, and a few others who just all happen to be Morton Blaze Club members and alumni....
In fact, only three of the area's top 10 scorers has NOT played for the Blaze! Pretty impressive.
Pekin HS, Morton, and PCS are the three top teams in our area.

Notre Dame's Tyler Les is reportedly going to have a new head coach at UC-Davis tomorrow -- a familiar name -- but not yet confirmed..
