Manual HS beats #1 team in the state

[Da Coach]

Chicago North Lawndale high school won the Illinois Class 2A state title last year over Manual, and this year they were ranked the #1 team in the state, regardless of class.
But Manual got a bit of revenge yesterday by upsetting the #1 North Lawndale team--

Lawndale will not be in the Class 2A state tournament this season,
as they moved up to 3A.
Note that Lawndale now has Terrence Johnson, who transferred there after committing to ISU, and Johnson had 14 (13 according to the Trib).
Paris Gulley had 22 and was the best player on the floor, and Manual's CJ March scored 20.
Manual led by as many as 17 in the 2nd half befoe Lawndale came back.
