Next month, girls powerhouse basketball teams Bolingbrook and Montini will play more important games when the postseason rolls around. But on Monday night, the top-ranked and defending champion Class 4A and 3A teams in the state battled in front of a loud crowd of more than 3,000 fans at Willowbrook High School in the 21st McDonald's Shootout. Bolingbrook, the Class 4A power, beat Montini, 79-63, in a wild and physical battle to close out the 17-game, three-day showcase. Because of the class difference, these teams will not face each other in postseason play, but this game had the feel of a playoff game. "This is more intense than the state finals because this is in a smaller gym as opposed to a college arena," said Montini's Whitney Adams, a Naperville resident who had 22 points including six 3-pointers in the setback. "Everything is condensed and so loud. It's a lot of fun knowing that if you make a shot the whole crowd will go crazy and you can't help but to smile." Bolingbrook is ranked first in the area by the Tribune. The Raiders improved to 13-2 and have not lost to a team from Illinois since the state championship game in 2008. Montini (23-1) entered this year’s battle ranked third in the area by the Tribune and has also made some national polls. "What a great atmosphere," said Bolingbrook's Ariel Massengale, who had 20 points and four assists. "Everyone is right there - almost right on the court. We didn't get into the hype or the audience - we just played our game."
