B4G Talk Show #6: HILL, WILLS & PETERSON — SOUTHERN ILLINOIS ROOTS, RIVALRIES & WALKING WITH GOD

We filmed Episode 6 of the Ballin4God Talk Show, sponsored by Rend Lake Cabins In The Woods. In this episode we had three guests on.

SIU Head Football Coach Nick Hill from DuQuoin came on and shared his journey. Hill was an all-state basketball and football player in high school. Played basketball at Western Kentucky for a year, then came back and played football for the Salukis. He chased the pro route and tried out for the NFL. Now he’s been the head coach at SIU the last 10 seasons.

Our second guest was Rend Lake Warriors basketball coach Tim Wills. Wills is a Benton grad and played for Coach Rich Herrin. He hooped at Rend Lake and SIU-Edwardsville. He talks about how college ball changed his life and shaped who he is today.

Our final guest was Gage Peterson, senior at Waltonville. Gage talks about his time as a Spartan, some rivalries, and teammates from over the years.

We apologize for the camera issues in this episode. We believe we found the problem and will have it fully fixed for the next episode, The Christmas Special. Please stay tuned and listen to Coach Wills and Gage Peterson. Both were amazing guests and super understanding. The rest of this episode is audio-only, so make sure to still listen.
