The Reed-Custer Comet diamond squad plays host to Chicago International Charter School/Longwood in preliminary round action of the Wilmington IHSA Regional Tournament on Monday, May 14th.  Game time is 4:30 PM.  The Comets (9-26) were seeded 4th in the 6 team affair, which includes RC, four Chicago teams and the host, Wilmington.

Head Coach Jerry Cougill had this to say about the upcoming action.  "It's a vastly different set up for us in Regional play this year.  Only us and Wilmington are from our area.  Because of that, we know very little of the teams in this tournament.  It should be very interesting and I'm glad we get to host the first round."

The winner of the tournament advances to the Coal City Sectional on May 23, 24, 26.

Here are the seedings and playing schedule for the Regional tournament.
