Libertyville rolls past Lake Forest

Three players scored in double digits for Libertyville's girls basketball team, leading the Wildcats to a 56-31 win over visiting Lake Forest in their North Suburban Lake finale Tuesday night.

The news got even better for Libertyville when it learned it won at least a share of the NSC Lake title thanks to Lake Zurich's victory over Stevenson.

Alex Haley scored 12 points, and Olivia Mayer and Kerry Risley added 10 points apiece for the Wildcats.

Coupled with Stevenson losing to Lake Zurich, Libertyville (19-6, 9-3) pulled even with the Patriots (8-3) in the loss column. Even if Stevenson defeats Lake Forest on Friday, the Patriots will finish in a first-place tie with Libertyville, but the Wildcats defeated the Patriots twice in NSC Lake play.

That means Libertyville will represent the NSC Lake in the conference championship game for the third straight year and will be seeking to capture its third title in a row.

Libertyville led Lake Forest 18-8 after one quarter and 32-12 at half.

Grant 56, Lakes 35: The Bulldogs started strong, leading 16-2 after the first quarter and going on to win their home game.

Morgan Jahnke and Kassie Stimpson scored 13 and 12 points, respectively, for Grant, which improved to 7-16 and 5-6 in the North Suburban Prairie Division, while avenging a four-point loss a week earlier.

Terese McMahon scored 15 points for Lakes (11-13, 8-3). Ashlee Cunningham had 8.
