MACOMB, IL – The Bomber Boys Varsity basketball squad ended their 2023 regular season on a high note on Wednesday night, beating Monmouth-Roseville at home 53-35.
The Bombers finished the regular season with a 23-5 overall record and a 4-1 Prairieland conference record, which set them in second place behind Illini West.
Next up is their bid in the postseason, which they have entered with a #2 seed ahead of the Canton Sectional that starts on Monday.
