Description: It didn’t matter the crowd favored No. 4 Memphis East (TN). Nor did it matter the Mustangs had beat them just two weeks ago at the Culligan City of Palms Classic. No. 12 Simeon (IL) was out for revenge and served a cold dish of it Saturday night.

It didn’t matter the crowd favored No. 4 Memphis East (TN). Nor did it matter the Mustangs had beaten No. 12 Simeon (IL) just two weeks ago at the Culligan City of Palms Classic. The Wolverines were out for revenge and served a cold dish of it Saturday night.

Led by 24 points and nine rebounds from do-it-all wing Talen Horton-Tucker, Simeon took down Memphis East 78-73 in overtime to close out the ARS Rescue Rooter National Hoopfest in Memphis, TN.

For the Wolverines, this was another big-time win before heading to the Spalding Hoophall Classic next weekend to face No. 1 Montverde Academy (TN). And for the Mustangs, the preseason No. 1 squad, it’s back to the drawing board after losing three straight games before district play.
