Foster’s free throws help Joliet West survive

By Laura Funk

Joliet West senior guard Da’Von Foster’s two free throws in the final minute helped the Tigers clip SouthWest Suburban Blue foe Sandburg 63-62 in double overtime Friday night.

“I knew I had to make both free throws for us to win the game,” Foster said of his two points that put Joliet West (11-12, 4-7) ahead with 54 seconds left in the second overtime.

The Eagles (8-14, 4-7) ran the clock down to :10 before calling timeout to set up for their final shot.
