Posted March 09, 2009 11:00 pm

When: 7:30 p.m. today.

Outlook: What's Glenbard South's reward for winning its first regional title since 2000? Public League champion North Lawndale, which claimed the Class 2A title last year. The Raiders have recovered well from their slide late in the regular season. The potent offense is back led by 6-foot-6 Jordan Harks, who scored 29 points in Friday's 75-63 win over Riverside-Brookfield in the Glenbard South regional final. If guards Louis Erkins and Ralondo Shumate also play well, the Raiders could give the Phoenix a scare. North Lawndale is enduring some adversity. Illinois State-bound Terry Johnson has been nursing an ankle injury while Jonathan Mills, committed to Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, is suing North Lawndale for being ruled ineligible after an accusation of cheating on a test.
