The COVID-19 pandemic has shut down sports and all "non-essential" life the past two months leaving the future of the 2020 SBL Playoffs up in the air. While there have been no updates to report regarding finishing the SBL season, two of our league's own have made headlines in recent days for their news in the Peoria area. 

Daniel Ruffin was recently named head men's basketball coach at his alma mater Peoria (Central) High School, replacing his father.
