30 point scoring outburst books Lyons’ spot
in holiday tournament championship
Lyons Township's Nick Zeisloft came into Wednesday's Jack Tosh Holiday Classic semifinal matchup against Brother Rice holding a late Christmas present for the Crusaders. As the game unwrapped, that present turned out to be a 30 point scoring explosion, leading the Lions to a comfortable 86-62 victory over Rice to send them into the tournament finals, set for Thursday at 7:15 p.m at York High School. Despite a massive individual performance, Zeisloft attributed Lyons' impressive tournament run to the group's collective effort.

Rough, scrappy game culminates with
Lions’ 60-37 rout of 0-2 Queen of Peace
First year Lyons Township head Coach Katie Meyers began her coaching career with a comfortable win Friday evening as Lyons overcame Queen of Peace, 60-37, in the LT Invitational Tournament. "We feel good, it's definitely a step in the right direction," Meyers said. "But, we weren't capitalizing on a lot of our positives. We have a lot to work on, but the girls should be proud of tonight." Despite the lopsided final scoreline—which earned the Lions victory in their 2010 season opener—the game was mistake-ridden from both sides, especially early on. "In the beginning of the game, I think we were very sloppy because of first game nerves," Lyons senior guard Lindsay Esposito said. "We have a lot to improve on and we know what we have to do to…
