Moments after host Homewood-Flossmoor claimed a 55-46 Class 4A
sectional semifinal victory Wednesday night over longtime rival
Thornton in Flossmoor, the large H-F student cheering section moved
down to the court to greet its heroes. "They were all shaking our hands," said a smiling junior standout
Julian Lewis, whose 12 points, six rebounds and outstanding defense
played big roles in the win.
