CHAMPAIGN — Phoenix Gill wasn’t wearing orange and blue on Friday. St. Ignatius has a maroon and gold color scheme. But he did have number 13 on his back at State Farm Center, just 50 or 60 feet below where his dad Kendall’s 13 hangs in the rafters.
Kendall Gill was sitting with the other parents, wearing a St. Ignatius baseball hat and Illinois lettermen’s jacket as he hung on every play in the Class 3A state semifinal game against Simeon.
