The Normal Community Ironmen played aggressive, fundamentally sound defense and withstood a sizable Moline home crowd advantage to tip the Maroons 60-40 on Wednesday night.
The Ironmen jumped out to an 8-0 lead and held the edge for the entire game, maintaining a 24-18 cover at the half.
In the second half the NCHS road-weary fans and cheerleaders watched their players use crisp passing to break the press and the half court zone. While the defense turned in a comparable half, the offense stretched the lead to 25 midway through the fourth quarter.
Normal extended its record to 25-6 on the season, and plays East Saint Louis on Friday night in the sectional championship game.
