Illinois High School Basketball - Mendota routed by Princeton

February 7, 2025: Mendota, IL 61342

Princeton Tigers (Princeton, IL) boosters left the game satisfied Friday as they witnessed their basketball squad triumph over the host Mendota Trojans (Mendota, IL), 62-38 in a league match.

With the victory, Princeton upgrades its record to 13-12 on the year. The Tigers host Byron (Byron, IL) to face the Tigers in a non-league match on Saturday, February 8. The Tigers enter the match with a record of 18-6. Byron won 62-59 in their recent league match against Dixon (Dixon, IL)

The Trojans now sport a 17-8 record. They put it on the line next when they travel to Stillman Valley for a non-league match on Wednesday, February 12.
