Wheaton/Herman-Norcross led 31-30 at the half against Park Christian School on Friday night, however, the Falcons tied the game 57-57 at the end of regulation, forcing overtime.  The Warriors were able to get a one-point win, 62-61, scoring 5 OT points to 4 for PCS.

 

“Very good basketball game, close most of the way,” commented Wheaton/Herman-Norcross Head Coach Jordon Roos. “Pretty good defensive game by both teams, both teams struggled to finish in the lane. We got complacent at the end while also missing a few close shots which helped Park Christian tie it up. Went to Overtime, got to the free throw line and played good D which ended up helping us get the Win.”

Wheaton/Herman-Norcross shot 34% from the field and made 30% (9/30) 3-pointers.
