Scouting Naperville North vs. Benet

Daily Herald report

Class 4A Naperville North regional final

No. 9 Naperville North (16-11) vs. No. 1 Benet (28-0)

When: 7:30 p.m. Friday.

Outlook: The Huskies, who lost 62-41 to Benet in early December, take their shot against the state’s top-ranked team with the advantage of playing on their home court. Six-foot-6 Huskies post player Matt LaCosse was a force against Oswego in the semifinals, scoring a team-high 24 points. The Huskies also will need 6-4 Jon Mengel and 6-5 Jake DuPré to counter Benet 7-footer Frank Kaminsky’s dominating presence. Jovonn Griffin adds experience to the Huskies’ backcourt. Benet’s guard play is a clear strength with Dave Sobolewski and Matt Parisi, who knocked down five 3-pointers in Wednesday’s semifinals.
