About this Article

It wasn’t as if the Vernon Hills girls basketball team didn’t come ready to play Saturday. The Cougars did. But there aren’t many teams in the state — in fact this season there were none — that could deal with what Quincy Notre Dame threw at the Cougars on this day. QND jumped out to leads of 9-0 and 15-2 and by the time Vernon Hills recovered it was too late. The Raiders used that start to fuel an eventual 62-45 win over Vernon Hills in the Class 3A girls basketball state championship game at Redbird Arena.
