Wednesday night’s first Class 4A Naperville North boys basketball regional semifinal between Lake Park and Addison Trail was anybody’s game during the first half.

Geneva downed Lake Park 57-45 in a boys basketball game Wednesday night.

Wheaton Warrenville South’s boys basketball team attempted to encapsulate a lifetime of memories into Friday night’s game in Wheaton.

Saying that the basketball teams from Lake Park and St. Charles North are evenly matched would be an understatement of sorts. A little more than a month after Lake Park edged St. Charles North, 51-49, in Roselle, the North Stars (14-12, 8-4) earned a measure of revenge Tuesday night during their 39-36 DuKane Conference victory over the Lancers (20-5, 10-2) in St. Charles.

For Lake Park, unselfish basketball means winning basketball. Combined with tenacious defense, it translated to a 41-30 win over Geneva on Wednesday night in the DuKane Conference.

Amazing what a difference one half can make.The Lake Park boys basketball team found itself down by 12 points at halftime against undefeated Batavia Wednesday night.The Lancers came back to win by that same amount, 63-51, dealing the Bulldogs their first loss of the young 2021-22 season.
