Video: Highlights of Friday's Benet/Naperville North Game
Naperville North gave the state's top team all it could handle in Friday's regional title game, but Benet survived to reach the East Aurora Sectional.
Unbeaten Benet Academy had beaten by 21 points back in December, but in the rematch, the Redwings saw their dreams of winning a state title flash before their eyes.
The Huskies executed their game plan to near perfection and senior Matt LaCosse hit two of the biggest three-pointers you'll ever see, one forcing overtime, the other forcing double overtime. But Benet managed to survive, and moves on to the East Aurora sectional next week. The Redwings will face East Aurora in the semifinals Tuesday. Downers Grove South and Glenbard East meet in the other semifinal Wednesday.
