It was the final lead for the Kougars as they were out-scored 12-4 to end the game.
Armon Williams (Oak Forest HS) led Kishwaukee in scoring with 18 points, while Butler and Austin Patterson (Morris HS) followed with 13 points each. Deon Merrill (Naperville North HS) was the only other Kougar in double figures with 10.
