Sekou shot 67% below the arc to score 7 points but the point/shooting guard contributed several key statistical categories to help the Cardinals to victory. The 6’0” guard grabbed 5 rebounds and dropped 4 assists. His high flying block of a shot on a fast break by the Comets shocked the crowd as Harris pinned the shot on the glass.

5) Plainfield – Junior Chad Lewis 6’4” {ER-12}
While Justin, Dii’Jon, Denzel, and Sekou provided the offense, Chad gave Justin a day off from doing the Windex cleaning. Chad grabbed a personal season high and game high 11 rebounds.
