On Thursday Jesus Mitchell-Hightower racked up double-digit points for the very first time. He posted 11 points along with seven boards and three steals, but sadly Dyett still had to take a 49-44 loss at the hands of Perspectives-IIT/Joslin. We marked that as the best effort he's had all season, even better than his performance on Saturday (when he put up eight points) (Gamescore: 12 vs. 11.6).
Mitchell-Hightower and Dyett will take on Thornwood in a holiday battle at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. The Eagles will be headed into this one with a sizable disadvantage in the rankings (they're ranked 347 places lower in Illinois), but they're not letting that get them down. Will they be able to pull off an upset behind Mitchell-Hightower? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more basketball content.
