Sandburg 68, Lincoln-Way East 57: Nick Lehnerer erupted for a career-high 27 points as the Eagles jumped to a 40-27 first-half lead and staved off the Griffins in a Southwest Suburban Blue matchup Friday night in Frankfort.
The Skinny: There was only one thing missing from Nick Lehnerer’s highlight-reel shooting performance in Sandburg’s 68-57 boys basketball victory over Lincoln-Way East on Friday night in Frankfort.
