About this Article

The DuPage Valley Conference boys basketball championship race came down to the very end, and then some. Not until Glenbard East's Tahron Harvey rose to deflect a shot just inside the 3-point arc by West Aurora's Spencer Thomas with two seconds left in double overtime could the Rams claim the outright title over the host Blackhawks, 76-75 on Wednesday. The title, initially denied when West Aurora guard Jontrel Walker capped a 20-point fourth quarter with a 33-foot, 3-point swish from the left sideline as regulation time expired, is the third in four seasons for Glenbard East (18-6, 13-1).
