Homewood resident Cage, Marist win 4A volleyball state title

Marist knew they could do it, even if few outsiders did. The RedHawks were supposed to lose during several legs of the Class 4A postseason bracket but never did. They defied the doubters, all the way up to and including a 2-1 win over Benet Academy Nov. 16 at CEFCU Arena in Normal.  “The mindset was just ‘Fight.’ That’s something we say a lot, especially once the playoffs started,” junior Cassidy Cage, a Homewood resident, said.
