Downers Grove North's Campbell Thulin is a force to be reckoned with, setting the tone for her team's relentless motor and suffocating defense that has propelled them to one of the best seasons in program history. The junior guard, who has scored a game-high 18 points in recent victories, including a crucial win over Hinsdale Central that clinched the West Suburban Conference Silver championship.

Her enthusiasm is contagious, with the team playing music on the bus and bringing it into the locker room to create a fun environment that carries over throughout the game.

Coach Stephan Bolt credits Thulin's energy as a key factor in the team's success, saying "We play music on the bus... We don't let the energy go down. We have to carry it throughout the game." The coaching staff has done an excellent job of implementing practices that translate to the court, and the Trojans are starting to make shots and execute their game plan.

Thulin's teammate Ady Fanta chipped in with 12 points and five rebounds, while freshman Eva Yerkovich added seven points. The team's stifling defense has been a major factor in their success, with players ready to help each other out when someone gets beat off the dribble.

In other news, Carmel freshman forward Liv Johnson set the school single-game scoring record with 39 points in a win over Benet. She has already received offers from several top programs and is sure to be a force to watch during the playoffs.

The Super 25 rankings remain unchanged, with Nazareth still leading the pack at number one. Loyola Academy jumps up to number two after winning the GCAC Tournament, while Waubonsie Valley remains in fourth place despite having a tough match-up against Naperville Central on Tuesday.
