Johnsburg 56, Lakes 42: At Richmond-Burton, the Eagles did not get off to good start and played from behind in the fifth-place game of the Northern Illinois Holiday Classic.

"We have improved in many phases of the game but still lack the consistent energy it takes to always compete," Lakes coach Pete Schneider said. "I am not disappointed in our start to the season. I am disappointed in our performance today, but overall some good things are happening. We need to get stronger taking care of the ball, and our defense is still not where we can compete. We know we can score but need consistency on the defensive end."

Nicole Denman led Lakes (7-7) with 9 points and some good defense, Schneider said. Natalie Pawlak added 7 points in limited minutes due to an injury.

Lake Forest 49, Phillips 37: At Wheeling, the Scouts earned their first win in the tournament, as Grace Torkelson totaled 12 points and 11 rebounds.

Lake Forest (7-7, 1-2 tourney) also received 10 points from Katie Hanson and 10 points and 11 rebounds from Brooke Green.
