After more than 500 miles on their bus and losses to all three — Glenbrook South 53-40, Normal 47-42 and Bogan 67-42, the Hawks had a 7-9 record on January 11.

The Hawks have not lost since.

On Monday night in Park Ridge, Maine South (14-9) outscored Chicago Sullivan 20-9 in the fourth quarter and rolled to their seventh consecutive win, 55-37.

South was again led by their 6-foot-5 junior Marko Anderson.

Six-foot-7 junior Nik Ostojic chipped in with nine points and grabbed six rebounds for the red-hot Hawks.
