With the score knotted up at the half it was almost certain the game would come down to the wire. The Kingsmen topped the Eagles by a score of 56-50 in double overtime. Both teams were led by their stars, Westlake was led by Junior Nathaniel Cessna who scored 30 points, however Romeoville's senior captain Jake Janson would score 38 to help seal the deal for the Kingsmen. Janson coming off a triple-double Thursday night went 14-16 from the free-throw line and 10-20 from the field. With the 3rd win in four days the Kingsmen improved to 7-9 on the season.
