SLIAC

[hopefan]

Was just looking at women's SLTAC standings, and what stood out to me was not the top part of the standings but the bottom part...  Eureka at 0-20, 0-11 in conference....

so I looked to 2024-25 season... they were very successful... first year coach Mike Hedrick had turned around a progam that had been losing to becoming a respectible winner, 16-11, 11-7 in conference, a first round win in the conference tourney.

But poof... after a successful first season, Hedrick moves from Eureka Ill to South Carolina for a High School Head Coach, Athletic Director Job.   Just a strange move to come north for a college coaching job, to be successful, then to decide to return to HS coaching.   $$$?  Family??? different aspirations.....who knows.

And the program now... winless, not even competitive, yet had players back from the winning team of the year before...

Likely stories never to be told, but personally I'm very sorry to see... I totally enjoyer travelling up to Eureka in the past before retiring to Florida... great atmosphere....
