ST. CHARLES – Eleven players took the court for the St. Charles East boys basketball team Friday and – unfortunately for the Saints – none of them really had an answer for slowing down Elgin’s Arie Williams.

The 5-foot-9 senior guard burned East for 35 points to help the Maroons (13-13, 3-9 Upstate Eight Conference River Division) edge the Saints on senior night, 70-67.

“It was nice to pull one out,” Williams said. “We’ve been struggling down the stretch [of games] all year, so to pull this one out on the road and kind of spoil their senior night like St. Charles North spoiled ours was pretty nice.”
