Indians win thriller

MINOOKA — If Friday night’s Minooka-Plainfield North boys basketball game is a pre-cursor of what is to come this basketball season, then fasten your seat belts.

In a wild game that saw a combined 41 turnovers, it was the Indians who stood tall, defeating the Tigers 58-57 on a layup from junior Adam Alexander with 10.5 seconds left.

At the outset of the game, Minooka was able to capitalize on early Plainfield mistakes, going up 6-0 on back-to-back three pointers from seniors Darrin Myers and Adam Holstine. After a North timeout, the Tigers bounced back, ultimately cutting it to only a 16-15 lead for the Indians after the first quarter.

I will support it if it helps to lower my property taxes
I oppose it because I don't believe it will impact property taxes and I will just pay twice
