The Lane Tech Indians pulled off an impressive victory over the New Trier Trevians 57-47 in their inaugural game at the Chicago Elite Classic.
It was my first game seeing Lane this year. The Elite Classic did not have rosters for the press so I don’t know the players. But it didn’t much matter. The Indians picked up right were they left off victory over a historic programs.
The pictures will have to do for this game. I was concentrating on the photos and not so much on the story.
I hope you like the photos.
New Trier Girls Beat Evanston 46-45 on Late Free Throws
The second Evanston v. New Trier matchup of the last night (Jan. 11, 2019) at Evanston was even better than the first as the Trevian girls topped the Wildkits 46-45. With time running out, New Trier point guard Tinah Hong drove the baseline drawing a foul. Just a cool as can be, with the game on the line, she stepped up to the line and drained the tying bucket—nothing but net. Then, after an Evanston time out, Tinah again stepped up to the line and drained the game winner—nothing but net. Evanston had a few seconds but couldn’t get up a shot to win.
I got some good shots of this game. Some of the photos are a little too grainy but they are pretty well lit. I hope you like them.
Evanston Tops New Trier 54-46 in Conference Showdown
Great game. Wildkits held off a late charge by the Trevians and came away with a convincing 54-46 victory. My third time seeing Evanston this year. Each time they have come out victorious in tight games over quality opponents—St. Viator, Uplift and now New Trier. I love the Evanston gym. It has such a stadium quality—and video scoreboards. My favorite gym in the area, well at least today.
As for the photos, it was not my finest work. I got to the game a little late so I was a little rushed. I hope you like the photos.
