ST. CHARLES – The first battle of St. Charles is taking place a little earlier than scheduled this season.

With East and North matched up on opposite sides of the 54th Annual Ron Johnson Thanksgiving Tournament brackets and a loaded field ahead of each team, the odds seemed long that the crosstown rivals would meet in tonight’s final.

But North held off a late Downers Grove South rally to advance to the 7:45 p.m. title game with a 53-48 win while East blew away perennial power St. Joseph, 71-53, to set up the showdown.
