There will be a lot of Iowa basketball teams in both tournaments.

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.

I'm a United Township grad, and I happened to be at their game versus Rock Island last Friday night. UT's DeAnte Walker hit an incredible last-second shot before halftime, and the video eventually found its way to ESPN's SportsCenter! Walker's shot was featured as part of the Neighborhood Top Plays, which showcases the best fan-captured highlights of the week.
