On Friday, Jan. 12, the Libertyville boys basketball team beat their rival Mundelein, 80-54, on their home court in front of a packed gym. The Wildcats’ big victory allowed them to snatch the first-place spot in the North Suburban Conference standings as their conference record moved to 4-1.

Wearing their special centennial white jerseys, which feature their last names on the back, LHS scored more than half of their points from behind the arc, sinking a total of 15 three-pointers. The physical game consisted of the referees calling multiple fouls for both teams including three technical fouls, one towards the Wildcats and two for the Mustangs.
