What to watch: Christian Liberty (17-10) looks to win a title in its third year as an IHSA member and lost last year's regional final at home to North Shore 67-58. But the Chargers hope Wednesday's 57-55 comeback win in the rematch on Mike Hennek's baseline jumper with five seconds left is a sign of good things to come. Senior guard Luke Comerouski (14 ppg), who has scored more than 1,000 career points, leads the way but helping make the Chargers more dangerous was the addition of senior guard Kyle Moriarty (14 ppg) and the return of big man Ben Thomas in late January from injury. The Chargers are 14-5 since late December and have been big-school tested early in the season by Elgin, Stevenson and Buffalo Grove,

Advancement: The winner advances to the Feb. 29 Mooseheart sectionl semifinal.
