🏀Game of the Night

Barrington 65, La Salle 60

A big-time boys basketball game had two big time shots and the Barrington boys basketball team hit them both.

Staring down a loss, Robert Gianfrancesco hit a jumper to send the Eagles to overtime and that's where Ryan Realejo came through clutch with a 3-pointer that propelled Barrington to a 65-60 win over La Salle.

The gym was buzzing for the matchup and the teams put on a show. The Rams - led by All-Stater Nick Tarro - looked ready to pull off the upset over the Eagles, but Gianfrancesco hit an eight-foot baseline jumper at the buzzer to knot the game at the buzzer and force overtime.

It wasn't the second biggest shot of the night. With Barrington trailing 60-59 in the extra session, Realejo buried a 3-pointer with 43 seconds left in overtime to give the Eagles the late lead and the eventual victory. The win keeps the Eagles' record unblemished in this Division I clash with the Rams.

Barrington's CalebSatisfield scored a team-high 20 points, Colin McDermott added 19 points and Ryan Rigamonti had 14 as Barrington improved to an impressive 7-0 in Division I play.

The teams were separated by just a point at the break and the fourth quarter began with Barrington holding a 3-point advantage, but Rams did what they did all night – hang around. Nick Tarro scored a game-high 22 points for La Salle, and Kayleb Ruszczyk drilled five 3-pointers to finish with 15 in the loss.
