Throughout the summer, we will recap the top on field and on court moments with the CCC Games of the Year.
From Athletic Director Rob Blissitt, "In a down to the wire thriller, Daley was able to pull off a victory against the very strong Olive-Harvey club. Zac’cai Armstrong who was instrumental all game with his presence around the rim, tipped in a missed attempt by Octavius Parker with 5.4 seconds to go. Justin Jones was able to get up a quality shot at the buzzer, but to no avail and the Bulldogs were able to upset the Panthers at the Dog Pound. Game was a classic rough and tough Chicago basketball game… Another very exciting CCC duel during a crazy season!
