<p>What are the key matchups to watch out for in Wednesday's Sectional Semis Across the State? Here is a look at some of the 3A and 4A important ones to keep tabs on!</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>4A</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Bolingbrook vs Neuqua Valley</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>#1 vs #2 2028 Part 2</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This one is pretty easy. The two best players in the 2028 class and probably the two best overall prospects regardless of class go at it yet again as [player_tooltip player_id='2531981' first='Cole' last='Kelly'] leads Neuqua Valley vs Bolingbrook and [player_tooltip player_id='2531973' first='Brady' last='Pettigrew'].</p>

<p><strong>Simeon vs St. Ignatius</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Spark Plug PGs</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We are going to go with the x-factor of spark guards for both teams. Which one can have the better game between Kayden Williams (Simeon) and [player_tooltip player_id='2531962' first='Amir' last='Tucker'] (St. Ignatius) could decide the winner.</p>

<p><strong>Lockport vs Marist</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Venckus Twins vs Barnes/Thomas on Wing</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Junior wings [player_tooltip player_id='2125671' first='Nojus' last='Venckus'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2125668' first='Nedas' last='Venckus'] are tearing it up this season for Lockport as they are not letting anyone tell them this group is a year ahead of schedule. Marist has been building to this year. [player_tooltip player_id='1552445' first='Charles' last='Barnes Jr'] has been their go to player and [player_tooltip player_id='1552436' first='Karson' last='Thomas'] is his running mate on the wing. Now or never for the Marist seniors!</p>

<p><strong>Loyola vs Evanston</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Slow vs Fast Pace</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Loyola wants to use the shot clock and run long possessions. Evanston wants to run getting up and down. The PG matchup of [player_tooltip player_id='1552480' first='Trey' last='Williams'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2531970' first='Ben' last='Ojala'] is a fun one of savvy lead guards.</p>

<p><strong>3A</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Wheaton Academy vs Providence</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Does Providence Have an Answer for Schroeder?</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2125634' first='Hayden' last='Schroeder'] is the best big man in the junior class. Does Providence Catholic have any answer for him?</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Wauconda vs Deerfield</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Underrated Senior Scoring Guards Salemi vs Nagler</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Two under the radar senior guards that get buckets in [player_tooltip player_id='2830800' first='Tony' last='Salemi'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2217962' first='Evan' last='Nagler'] will play key roles in this game!</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>East Peoria vs Kankakee</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>#1 Senior vs #2 Junior</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The best senior wing in Kankakee's [player_tooltip player_id='2105360' first='Lincoln' last='Williams'] vs the state's top junior wing [player_tooltip player_id='2125674' first='Quinton' last='Kitt']. They are both posting monster numbers! Must see TV!</p>
