GIRLS BASKETBALL

WINDY CITY CHAMPIONSHIP
Young 73, Bogan 38

Congratulations to the Whitney Young Dolphin girls basketball team on winning their 6th City championship. The second ranked Dolphins pretty much dominated from start to finish in this contest against Bogan. Ms. Kiana Johnson led the team with 16 points and 14 of those came in the first quarter.

Bolingbrook 54, Homewood-Flossmoor 41

The top ranked Bolingbrook Raiders came into the game against HF without two players, Ariel Massengale and Falon Edwards, and was able to get a win. The team was led by sophomore phenom Morgan Tuck, who finished with 20 points and 10 boards, plus she added 3 blocks.

"This (victory) means a lot," said 6'2" sophomore Tuck. "It gets out confidence up and we want to continue that going into the playoffs." To hear more from Ms. Tuck, click here.

The Vikings did make a game of it closing the Raiders lead to one in the third quarter, 24-23, on an outside jumper by sophomore guard Charnelle Read, who finished with 10. But turnovers were key in the loss as the Vikings turn the ball over 21 times and the Raiders were able to capitalize and hold them off coming down the stretch.

This victory officially clinched the Southwest Suburban Blue conference for them. And right now, the Raiders have won 46 straight league games.
