About this Article

It’s been written before, and surely will be written again. Tom McCormack-led Conant squads consistently wear down their opponents, and Thursday night at Palatine was a textbook example. While the Cougars admittedly struggled offensively, their persistence and relentlessness led to a key road triumph as Conant rallied from a 3-point fourth quarter deficit in claiming a 40-37 Mid-Suburban West victory.
