CHAMPAIGN — The latest and greatest accomplishment by Sean Taylor as coach of the Moline High School boys basketball team is one that will not be forgotten. The Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Famer with over 650 victories at five schools guided second-ranked Moline to its first state title in the state's largest classification in Saturday's Class 4A championship game — a 59-42 victory over top-ranked Benet Academy. Moline is just the second Illinois Quad-Cities team to win a state title, joining Rock Island, which won the Class 3A title in 2011.
