McLean Boys

On Friday night, the McLean Highlanders finished up their regular season with a heart-rending 52-50 loss in overtime, but they wouldn't have to wait long for revenge. In the first round of the Liberty District playoffs, the No. 5 Highlanders ousted No. 4 South Lakes 55-53.

With less than 10 seconds to go, the score was locked at 53 and McLean had possession.
