If you take away the two middle quarters, Wilmington’s varsity boys basketball team hung close with a tough Peotone team during their final game of the I-8 Conference Tournament.
In fact, just one quarter in, the Wildcats held a three-point lead over the Blue Devils thanks to a buzzer-beating three-pointer from Jon Gholson to make it 15-12.
In the second quarter there was a momentum swing as Wilmington struggled to make their baskets, getting outscored 10-6, as Peotone reclaimed the lead heading into half-time, 22-21.
