SPRINGFIELD, IL (Trevor Lawrence – Springfield Journal Register- Please Click to read the full story. Here is an excerpt) The moment wasn’t too big for Lanphier High School in front of its hometown crowd Tuesday night at the Prairie Capital Convention Center. The Lions — attempting to become the eighth Lanphier team in history to reach the boys state tournament — fired on all cylinders and blitzed Centralia 64-38 to capture the Class 3A Springfield Supersectional. Centralia’s Javon Williams Jr., a two-time all-state quarterback on the football field, led the Orphans with 19 points. Berry added 16 as Centralia went 15-for-33 from the field and ended the season 22-10. Williams and Berry scored all but three of the Orphans’ points Tuesday.
