About this Article
No Naperville Central late heroics this time. Neuqua Valley wasn't having it. Najee Smith scored 21 points, twin sister Malia Smith 13 and No. 2 seed Neuqua exacted a measure of revenge for a 1-point December loss in dominating fashion with a 58-40 win over the No. 3 Redhawks in Tuesday's Class 4A Oswego sectional semifinal.Galleries by Category
