Three starters pick up their third foul in tight third quarter of Thursday night's L-W North Sectional title game, but Spartans don't bend or break against the RedHawks.
The second half of Thursday night’s Lincoln-Way North Sectional championship game couldn't have started any better for Marist. It took only six seconds for it to happen, and some fans probably hadn't made their way back from the restrooms or concession stand when Marian Catholic standout Simone Law was whistled for her third foul. The Loyola University-bound senior retreated to the bench, and 40 seconds later Marist's Jetaun Rouse made a pair of free throws to cut Marian's lead to 24-20. The Redhawks would later cut Marian’s lead to 27-24 on a bucket by Asiana Bey and seemingly had momentum in their favor. That was until Jasmine Matthews and Jamie Johnson ignited the Marian crowd with back-to-back three-pointers to make it a 33-24 game. …

Marian Catholic 57, Marist 42. Foul trouble plagues the Spartans, but team depth helps finish off the Redhawks.
The Hot Read: Marian Catholic standout Simone Law picked up her third foul just six seconds into the second half and didn't convert a field goal after halftime. But Marist couldn’t take full advantage in Thursday night’s Class 4A Lincoln-Way North Sectional final. Marist trailed 24-18 at halftime but couldn’t get any closer than 24-20 in the second half. Marist's Randyll Butler split a pair of free throws with 1:50 left in the third quarter to make it a 35-30 contest, but Marian closed the quarter with a 7-0 run to take an impressive 42-30 lead into the final quarter en route to a 57-42 victory. Patch's MVP: Marian Catholic's Jasmine Matthews scored 14 points, but just as important was her leadership in the third quarter when starters …

After suffering a December setback to the Spartans, the RedHawks feel like they're ready to turn the tables.
Marist and Marian Catholic are two teams that possess high-powered offenses and skilled defenses. Both have excellent forwards who can shoot from the outside and put the ball on the floor and drive to the basket. The pretense for Thursday night's girls basketball sectional championship matchup at Lincoln-Way North has all the hallmarks of a classic. Simone Law leads the way for the Spartans. At 6-0, the senior forward and D-I recruit (Loyola) will be matched in the post by Marist's 6-1 junior center Asiana Bey. The Spartans are coming off a 72-58 victory over Homewood-Flossmoor. The RedHawks defeated Lincoln-Way East 52-38. When the teams met back in December, it was the Spartans winning by a count of 67-58. The two are long-time rivals …

RedHawks' junior Asiana Bey puts in the work on offense and defense to help Marist advance in Class 4A Shepard Regional.
Marist junior center Asiana Bey said she knew the RedHawks' matchup vs. Shepard on Wednesday night carried a do-or-die type feeling with it--and she wasn't about to let her season end. "I just wanted to come out really strong because I didn't want this to be our last game," Bey said after Marist defeated Shepard 62-24 in a semifinal game at the Class 4A Shepard Regional. "Coach (Mary Pat) Connelly told us all week that we couldn't be nice to teams because this is playoff time. So, I just kept that in mind." Bey lead the Redhawks with 13 points and four rebounds. She said she focused her her attention on getting to the net as well as guarding it. "I just kept thinking to score and play defense as best as I can," Bey said. "I just want to …

Marist 62, Loyola 32: Redhawks continually get second-chance points and shut down Ramblers' formidable guards.
With postseason tournaments right around the corner, Marist seems to be playing its best basketball at exactly the right time. The RedHawks dominated the glass on Thursday night, coming up with a plethora of second-chance points in their 62-32 victory over GCAC rival Loyola Academy. Thursday night’s win was Marist’s 10th in a row. The Redhawks (20-4) haven’t lost since falling to Morgan Park in the Hillcrest Holiday Tournament. “From the beginning, we wanted to control the boards so we could run the basketball, and we did,” Marist coach Mary Pat Connolly said. “Everybody crashed the boards and we got the outlets out quick and we were able to convert on those.” It was all Marist from the start as the RedHawks jumped out to an 18-8 lead …

Sophomore guard JeTaun Rouse scores 23 points as Marist rolls to a 52-35 girls basketball victory over Homewood-Flossmoor.
JeTaun Rouse and the Marist RedHawks brought their 'A' game on Wednesday night, as they claimed third place in the Hillcrest Holiday Tournament with a 52-35 girls basketball victory over Homewood-Flossmoor. Marist coach Mary Pat Connolly said she wasn't allowing her players much room for error. "We were a little bit more composed," Connolly said. "We had a little shorter lease on players. We were trying to control our turnovers, and we were trying to refine everything that went wrong (Tuesday)." The RedHawks bounced back from a loss to Morgan Park to raise their record to 11-4 overall and 3-1 in the tournament. "The girls did a a great job of crashing the boards," Connolly said. "The girls did a good job of keeping things under control and…

Redhawks girls give bigger Mustangs a battle for more than three quarters before fading in the fourth.
After winning their first two games of the Hillcrest Holiday Tournament, the Marist Redhawks had hopes of reaching the championship game. But then, along came Morgan Park. The Mustangs used their size advantage to turn back Marist 62-42 in a semifinal game Tuesday in Country Club Hills. "I just thought that Morgan Park was way better than us," Marist head coach Mary Pat Connolly said. "They were bigger bodies, they were stronger. They killed us on the boards. They have some great players and we'll be there in the future, but tonight wasn't our night." Marist (10-4 overall) will battle for third place Wednesday night against the loser of Hillcrest vs. Homewood-Flossmoor. Junior center Asiana Bey, who led Marist with 12 points and seven …
