STREAMWOOD – When the basketball wound up in the hands of Jake Asquini 60 feet from the basket with one second left in the third quarter Friday, there was a sense in the Streamwood High School gymnasium that – given the way the St. Charles East sophomore had been shooting after halftime – he might just make a shot from that distance.

He didn’t, but almost every other shot Asquini took in the second half was on target.

His 15 points – all after halftime – helped the Saints (14-8, 7-3) to a 61-43 victory as they attempted to stay alive in the Upstate Eight Conference River Division race.
