Wheaton Warenville South will play Glenbard West for the Class 4A sectional title on Friday afer the Tigers downed Benet 46-39 in Wednesday's semifinals.
Mike Healy leaned toward the court Wednesday and barked out"pressure, pressure pressure!" as his Wheaton Warrenville South charges swarmed. WW South, with its unique, hyper-aggressive ball pressure, can make it seem like there are seven players on the court. It looks uncomfortable to face, and it apparently is -- just ask Tigers' senior guard Danny Healy.
"Every game we try to bring more defensive intensity. That's been our staple all year," said Robinson, who had 10 points and 4 steals, all the thefts in the first half."I just try to bring the defensive intensity. I know that will keep us in every game." This time, the Tigers made certain to take the fight to Benet, their full court pressure dialed up to 10 from the jump.
Benet, scoreless for a five-minute stretch bridging the first and second quarters, trailed 20-11 at half. Healy's free-throw shooting, 9-for-10 for the game and 7-for-8 in the fourth quarter, was a big reason. History that went the other way in his family, a 2017 sectional semifinal loss to Naperville North, burned hot with the younger Healy.
