The Broncos' Daniel Hong knocked down 8 consecutive free throws in overtime as Barrington bounced Libertyville 56-47 Friday in the Class 4A sectional final at Barrington before 2,500 fans.
Barrington will be making its first supersectional appearance since 2002 when current Barrington athletic director Mike Obsuszt was head coach. Barrington had to come from behind three times against a stout Libertyville team to get the game into overtime. "I feel that it is the will of these kids," Tucker said."We were going to keep fighting until the end. They came together as a team and I felt our defense created a few opportunities."Bonder scored 9 of his 17 points in the first quarter. That along with some scrappy play and a pair of baskets by Will Buchert enabled the Wildcats to score 10 unanswered points to lead 14-6.
Libertyville surged ahead with large leads twice in the second half. And on both occasions, Barrington fought its way back.
