Raiders tame the Wildcat's

NORMAL - Two top ranked teams faced off in the first Class 4A Final on the evening Wheeling (32-1) and Bolingbrook (23-4). According to the Wildcats’ Ashley Wilson “we can beat Bolingbrook if we play our game and don’t let Morgan Tuck dominate.”

Wheeling’s Satavia Taylor scored the first points of the game and started a 6-0 run in the first quarter.

Bolingbrook answered back in the second quarter with a 8-2 run of their own led by Ariel Massengale and Mecedes Griffin. The Raiders went on another run of 7-3 at the end the half including a 3 pointer from behind arch.

At the half, Bolingbrook led Wheeling 30-23. Tuck had 10 points followed by Massengale with 9, while Bianca Szafarowicz leads the Wildcat's with 11 points.

The Wildcat fans were super charged for the game. They even had giant size picture cut outs of the starting line up to cheer on their team.

Wheeling’s motor started turning in the third quarter, as they went on another 5-0 run in pursue of the Class 4A title to bring the Wildcats within 4 points at the 3:15 mark, but Bolingbrook answered right back extending the lead to 10 points.

In the final quarter, the Wildcats decided to use defense to get back in the game. They held the Raiders scoreless for about 3 minutes until freshman phenom Tuck scored an uncontested lay-up.

This was the spark Bolingbrook needed because Massengale scored the next 6 points. Tuck and Massengale both finished the contest with 18 points which led the Raiders to a 53-40 win over the Wildcats

At the time of this writing, Bolingbrook will face either Young or Geneva for the Class 4A title Saturday evening.
