This is a CRAZY weekend for basketball teams in the QCA. One team just finished a trip to the state tourney, another is back at State for the second straight year. One local school is making its deepest playoff run in 13 years, and another is hosting a Sweet 16 game.

The UTHS boys' basketball team is playing in Collinsville, IL, tonight for a 4A Sectional championship. Hundreds out students will be making the 250-mile trip for tonight's game, and one local business is making that trip a little bit easier.

The United Township Panthers & Rock Island Rocks played tonight in a 4A basketball sectional. This is a HUGE rivalry and the two schools asked the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) to move the game, originally scheduled to be played in Normal, to Moline's Wharton Fieldhouse.

Former Rockridge H.S. and University of Iowa standout Tyson Blaser has been named head baseball coach at United Township H.S. in East Moline.
