This is more like it

From the Lake County News Sun:

With Jereme Richmond coming up huge in crunch time and four players scoring in double figures, Waukegan High’s boys basketball team beat highly regarded Maine East 62-52 in Park Ridge on Tuesday night in a non-conference game.

The win evened the Bulldogs’ record at 12-12 heading into Thursday’s tough game at powerful Loyola.

Richmond had just four points in the first three quarters, but scored 12 of the Bulldogs’ last 15 points after Maine East pulled within 47-46 with 5:45 remaining. Richmond also hit six straight free throws down the stretch.

“Play hard … be aggressive,” is what Waukegan coach Ron Ashlaw said he wanted from his players this week.
