Senior guard Mike Bobek made 1-of-2 free throws to give Andrew a 28-25 lead over Marian Catholic and the T-Bolts held on to win their first regional championship since 1990 despite a cold-shooting performance.
Lincoln-Way Central 6-8 senior center Brad Foster (right) erupted for 33 points in the Knights' 89-77 victory over Eisenhower. He chipped in a double-double (13 points and 10 rebounds) in a 54-37 loss to Andrew that knocked Lincoln-Way Central out of the Class 4A playoffs.
Brad Foster finished his career at Lincoln-Way Central in high style, scoring 46 points in his final two games with the Knights.
Lincoln-Way North's Ashley Weringa (right) follows the flight of a shot during a game against Richards. Weringa placed second in the Class 4A Three-Point Shootout finals at Redbird Arena in Normal.
Providence's 6-8 Mike Marietti scored 39 points in a 91-70 regional semifinal victory over Julian. He followed that up with 17 points and seven rebounds in the Celtics' 63-53 victory over Lemont. Marietti made 8-of-10 shots as Providence won the regional championship.
Marist's L.J. McIntosh scored 30 points, pulled down seven rebounds and came up with five steals in the RedHawks' 76-61 regional semifinal victory over neighborhood rival Brother Rice.
