Palatine splits a pair at Lake Zurich

It was a split decision for Palatine's boys basketball team in the Martin Luther King Jr. tournament games hosted by Lake Zurich on Monday.

Against Streamwood, senior guard Lamon Berry led the way with 19 points, which included a total of five 3s, three of them in the fourth quarter.

A slow start was the key, as the Sabres won the first quarter 19-6. Johnny O'Shea had 8 points and Julian Campbell and David Balanganayi had 6 apiece for Palatine.

Against Waubonsie Valley, Campbell, a freshman, led the way with a game-high 15 points. He had 3 field goals in the fourth quarter as the Pirates outscored the Warriors 12-7.

Berry finished with 8 points and Balanganayi had 7 for Palatine (13-9).
