The DePaul Prep Rams (29-4) defeated the St. Viator Lions (24-10) 63-23 in the 3A Antioch Sectional semi-final Tuesday evening.
DePaul’s defense ruled the day. St. Viator was basically limited to perimeter shots in the first half scoring just ten points in the first half. The Rams held St. Viator’s best player, Henry Marshall, an MIT commit, to ten points of the Lions 23 total points.
The Rams move on to play #3 seed Deerfield (24-7) on Friday evening at 6:00 in Antioch. In a mild upset, Deerfield defeated #1 seed Lake Forest 33-31 in the sectional semi last night. Interestingly, St. Viator took Deerfield to overtime but lost to Deerfield 36-32 the day after Christmas. That was a long time ago so I am not sure it means much. Deerfield has no wins over ranked teams.
