Richwoods came into Friday’s Class 3A state semifinal with confidence, knowing that they had one game-changing forward, Lathan Sommerville, in their corner.
DePaul College Prep, however, had two.
With Rams forwards, 6-foot-7 Jaylan McElroy and 6-foot-6 Rashaun Porter spearheading a prototypical shutdown DePaul defense, Richwoods was its victim, falling 52-41 at the State Farm Center in Champaign.
