The Ottawa and Geneseo girls basketball teams met Wednesday for a little summer scrimmage on a big stage – Wintrust Arena, home of the WNBA’s Chicago Sky.
After the former conference rivals’ early afternoon scrimmage, the Pirates and Maple Leafs remained in the Windy City for that evening’s Sky game against the Connecticut Sun. The first-place Sun defeated the Sky 83-75.
