ELGIN — Colton Wright’s 23rd rebound proved to be the biggest of the night as his putback with time running out gave Elgin Public-Pope John a 53 to 51 victory over Spalding Academy.
Continuing a trend of close games this season, the Wolfpack trailed the Shamrocks for all but 40 seconds of the final quarter, yet found a way to win and that’s all that matters in basketball — how many games you win and lose.
EPPJ 53, Spalding Academy 51
Shamrocks…..21 10 14 6 — 51
EPPJ…………12 19 10 12 — 53
