And the crowd goes wild! No joke, and with good reason. Fans of the Mount Pulaski Lady Toppers had plenty to cheer about Thursday night, and cheer they did. The team took out the Illini Central Cougars with an impressive 80-point spread. In addition Erika Leever scored her 1,000th career point, making her one of only eight in Lady Topper basketball history to do so.

This week LDN is happy to share with its readers photo contributions from not one but two really great photographers. Thanks to Teena Lowery, who shoots often and shoots well with a camera instead of a basketball. And thanks to Ron Siebert, who also submitted some really great shots of the game, including this one. See more from both contributors in the albums below.
