CLASS 4A GIRLS BASKETBALL SEMI-FINALS
Sophomore phenom Morgan Tuck knocked down 28 to advance to the Raiders
fifth consecutive appearance in a state title game. "My team got me
going," Tuck said. "They told me to be tough in the post and not just
let people push me around. So I took their criticism and went out and
tried to play better."
On the other side of the ball, Hersey's Megan Rogowski struggled
offensively going 1-for-18 from the field and finishing with 7 points,
all but two from the charity stripe.
"They played great defense and put a lot of pressure on me," Rogowski
said. "When I got shots off they weren't my normal shots I like to
take."
The Raiders have won 23 in a row. They haven’t lost since Dec. 18, 2009
when they played Long Beach Poly (Calif.) in the Nike Tournament of
Champions in Phoenix, Ariz.
“I could tell they were starting to get winded,” Bolingbrook guard Ariel
Massengale said. “Our experience helped us, and when they got tired we
just kept pushing.”
******************
“I was in the post and the [Young player] had her arms wrapped around me
and they called the foul, and we were still sort of tangled up and I had
the ball and kind of took the ball away,” Liston said. “There were no
exchanged words.”
The Dolphins went into halftime with a 24-16 lead. In the second half,
Young began pulling away and went on a 9-0 run.
“We were able to wear them down and contain Tricia,” Young coach Corry
Irvin said. “We were hoping not to give her a career night. We feel
Alexis can hold the other team’s best player.”
The table is set for the Class 4A finals... R-E-M-A-T-C-H!!! It’s going
to be a Young vs. Bolingbrook state championship rematch game for the
third year in a row. WHEW!!! We'll be at the baseline for the 8:15pm
contest.
