Daily Herald report

Class 3A Sycamore regional final

No. 3 Aurora Central Catholic (14-13) vs. No. 1 Rochelle (19-11)

When: 7:30 p.m. Friday.

Outlook: On Wednesday, Aurora Central denied Rochelle a rematch of the Northern Illinois Big 12 East title game it lost to Kaneland a week ago today. One day after Rochelle dispatched Sycamore 62-38, the Chargers beat Kaneland 63-53. ACC is tested-tough, eight of its losses to 4A schools with its only Suburban Christian Conference Gold losses coming against 26-1 Wheaton Academy. Guys like Ryan Harreld and blockmaster Robert DeMyers — who scored 22 and 11 points, respectively, against Kaneland — won’t back down. Harreld, Joe Medgyesi and Joey McEachern must handle Rochelle’s full-court pressure work it up-tempo. Rochelle offers shooter Matt Rosenwinkel and David Newton, who at 6-foot-6 can score at the arc or the post.
