Hot shooting from the outside got Lincoln-Way North off to a torrid start in Saturday’s Oak Lawn Holiday Tournament championship.
Then the Phoenix went inside to Valen Manns to deliver the knockout punch.
North jumped to a 20-10 lead after one quarter and Manns’ 10 third-quarter points assured there would be rally for Sandburg as the Phoenix captured the tournament title for the third time in four years with a 60-46 win.
