Red Devils Play in McDonald's Shootout

Hinsdale Central's girls basketball team loses 49-39 to Chicago Bogan Monday. The McDonald's Shootout featured 31 teams from Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin.

In its only game in the 21st annual McDonald's Shootout Monday afternoon, Hinsdale Central’s girls basketball team fell 49-39 to Chicago Bogan.

The Shootout is a three-day event held over the Martin Luther King holiday weekend at Willowbrook High School. It features 31 teams from Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana.

The Red Devils (2-18) jumped out to a 14-13 lead in the first quarter, thanks to two free throws by sophomore forward Lily Sarros. Hinsdale Central fell behind in the second quarter, 21-16, but battled back to pull within two points of Bogan, 21-19, on a three-pointer by freshman Maddie Roglich.

However, Bogan (13-9) closed out the quarter with a 10-0 run and led at halftime, 31-19.

“We had a bad stretch in the second quarter,” said Hinsdale Central coach Tom McKenna. “But a couple of times we cut their lead and I thought we were still in the game.”

The Red Devils did cut Bogan’s lead to 31-25 in the third quarter, but they wouldn’t get any closer to the Lady Bengals the rest of the contest.

Senior Christine Rush led Hinsdale Central with 19 points. She also added six rebounds and two steals. Sarros contributed seven points and a team-high 10 rebounds.

“I thought our kids played really hard,” McKenna said. “Earlier in the year, we would have gotten blown out by 20 or 25 (points).”

The Red Devils are off until Saturday when they travel to Glenbard West for a West Suburban Silver game against the Hilltoppers. Tipoff is at 6 p.m.
