Libertyville's special season came to end Monday night.
The Wildcats fell behind New Trier early and could never recover, losing 54-48 at the Class 4A Now Arena supersectional in Hoffman Estates.New Trier will be making its first trip to the state finals since 2004.
Libertyville came into the game winners of their last eight games and 13 of their last 14 games. The Wildcats had advanced to the supersectionals for the first time 1994. "It took us too long to get comfortable out there," Zyrkowski said."We needed to come out with more energy."Leading 8-7 late in the first quarter, the Trevians started hitting from long range. Logan Feller knocked down a three-pointer and Ian Brown followed with two more.
But that was as close as they Wildcats would get. Brown then canned his fourth triple of the game at the end of the third quarter. The Trevians added a quick basket to begin the fourth quarter."We just fell short," said Buchert, who finished with 15 points."We left everything out there. I love these guys and the effort we have had all season."
