OK, be honest. If you saw this one coming, raise your hand. Really, it’s OK. There’s no harm in admitting you didn’t expect North Scott to be playing in its fifth straight substate final.

There were two basic problems for the Lancer boys’ basketball team in Friday night’s rematch with the Pleasant Valley Spartans: offense and defense. Add that the Spartans were white-hot shooting when it mattered most, and it added up to a 51-33 defeat for the Lancers, Coach Shamus Budde's most lopsided loss in recent memory.
