Simeon wins thriller over Brother Rice in OT

Simeon and Brother Rice just played what was one of the best High School Basketball games of the season in the IHSA Playoffs.

The two teams met Friday night at Brother Rice in the Class 4A regional final, with a trip to sectionals on the line and it didn’t disappoint. The game went into overtime where freshman phenom AJ Casey stole the show.

With the game tied at 73, Casey was able to sky for a rebound and managed to get a put-back off in time for the game-winner, sending Simeon to the sectionals with a 75-73 win.
