The official Homecoming Banquet for the Hebron Green Giants in 1952.
On the night of March 22, 1952, Hebron, with a population of 700, shocked Quincy, population 44,000, in overtime to win the Illinois State High School Basketball Championship in Champaign. Hebron’s student body only numbered 98.
In the championship game, Hebron beat Quincy 64-59 in overtime. Center Bill Schultz, who played with his ribs taped after suffering an injury in the semifinal contest, scored 24 points. The Green Giants outscored Quincy 6-1 in the overtime period to clinch the victory.
Hebron’s 1952 tournament victory was watched on television and listened on the radio but more than a million fans. Hebron won 35 out of 36 games losing only to Crystal Lake during the 1951-1952 season. They will forever remain the smallest high school to ever win the basketball crown in Illinois. In 1971, the IHSA (Illinois High School Association) rules changed so a small school like Alden-Hebron High School would play in a small school competition instead.

AHHS COMMUNITY SERVICE: On Sunday, April 24th, AHHS students volunteered at the Hackmatack National Wildlife Refuge future site in Hebron, IL.
From Pete Jackson, Friends of Hackmatack Stewardship Coordinator: "The students all worked very hard and we took a break to discuss why we are doing what we are doing- restoring old farmland to become a part of the Hackmatack National Wildlife Refuge. Every student worked very hard! The rain did shorten the morning a bit but we got so much done and the way the kids seemed to roll with the sudden onset of rain was very cool!"
AHHS Students: Don't worry if you missed out on this volunteer day. Hackmatack workdays will be offered at some other sites this spring and again in the fall. Thank you again to Pete Jackson and Ron Erdmann for making this great partnership with our students possible!

AH Elementary: All last week, Miss Otter's and Mrs. Spraker's third-graders were learning about alternative energy and learning more about how we can take care of our planet.

Awesome job 3rd Grade!
