The Marian Catholic Spartans will challenge the Perspectives Leadership/Technology Warriors at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Both come into the match bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Marian Catholic took a loss when they played away from home two weeks ago, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Friday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 52-49 win over De La Salle.
Meanwhile, two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Perspectives Leadership/Technology walked away with it. They put the hurt on the Titans with a sharp 69-46 victory on Wednesday. Given the Warriors' advantage in MaxPreps' Illinois basketball rankings (they are ranked 134th in Illinois, while the Titans are ranked 273rd in Illinois), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Perspectives Leadership/Technology is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last ten games. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-9 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 67.1 points over those games. Marian Catholic pushed their record up to 24-7 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home.
