Mekhi Young Game Report: @ Rich Township

On Tuesday, Thornwood had to settle for second even though Mekhi Young put up the best numbers he has all season. Young went 7 for 11 en route to 17 points and three steals, good enough to set a new career-high in points in the process.

Young and Thornwood will challenge Kankakee at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. The Thunderbirds had to take a loss when they last met the Kays, but Young had little to do with the loss: he posted 14 points. Can he match (or beat) that performance? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
