## Resource

On Sportsline this week, Ty Taylor and Jim Taylor open the show discussing a slow week in local spring sports with rain and cold temperatures wiping out most of the schedule, talk about the IHSA softball and track and field postseason assignments that were released this week, look ahead to the opening week of baseball and softball games in the TRAC this week, and end the opening segment with a long discussion on the meaning of Illinois advancing to the Final Four by touching on some of their favorite (but mostly least favorite) moments as fans before they head to Indianapolis. Then, Sherrard High School girls' track and field coach Todd Volkert joins the show to discuss the 2026 season for his program. (1:01:19) Ty and Jim close the show with more Illini talk. (1:17:06)
