🏴‍☠️ Very deserving honor for a great team!

Congratulations to the 1956-57 Ottawa Boys Basketball Team on being named a Class of 2026 inductee into the Illinois Valley Sports Hall of Fame Legacy Team category.

Led by legendary coach Gil Love, the Pirates finished 29-6 and placed third in the IHSA one-class state tournament.

A special recognition for a truly historic Ottawa team.

Nice article highlighting the history behind some of the area’s gym names — including Kingman Gym and Love Gym. A lot of tradition, memories, and great basketball have come through those doors over the years.
