Stew-Stras graduate John Giesler lost his battle with cancer Friday. As Illini Central basketball coach from 2003-2014, John’s teams won 208 games, a state championship in 2013, and third place in 2012. Last week, Steve Allen from the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association presented Giesler with his induction plaque. He’ll be inducted posthumously next month. Visitation will be this Saturday (April 21, 2018) from 1:00-5:00 p.m. in the Illini Central High School gym.
