Bolingbrook aka The Brook 83 Oswego 60:

Game was within striking distance early but Bolingbrook led pretty much the entire game. Lead was 16-11 after one, and 35-29 at recess. Third quarter Bolingbrook exploded with steals, runout layups, and baskets in transition. Outscored Oswego 22-10 in the third quarter for a 57-39 lead and that was all she wrote. Bolingbrook is still playing without senior point guard Michigan Tech commit Trey Brost, but senior Joey Aniceto (#5) played a great floor game and scored some big baskets and made some nice assists to teammates. Pettigrew is the best two end player in the class, scoring, defending on the ball, and jumping passing lanes for steals all while guarding Vahl who ended up with 30 points but on 24 shots.
