High School Girls
The Illinois state girls high school final is set. Reigning champion Plainfield is poised to defend its state title; however, Rockford has proved a worthy opponent and will be vying for the 2015 trophy.
Fallbrook has been wearing a target for the previous five years – the consequence of winning consecutive girls high school national championships – but in 2015, that mark seemed closer than usual.

The Valkyries knew it was going to be a special year, but the Pennsylvania team had something to prove heading into last weekend’s girls high school state championship.
