Morton College's 92-86 win at the College of DuPage December 11th marked the first time since the 2001-02 season that the Panthers put up 90 points or more on the Chaps. It was Morton College's third straight win and sixth in the last seven games.
Brooks Brothers
The Chaps hope they've seen the last of Morton College sophomore guard
Jordan Brooks, who scored a game-high 29 points with a season-best five three-pointers. Brooks dropped 21 with five threes vs. Chaps a year ago.
Brooks fell a point shy of matching his career-high of 30 against Milwaukee Area Tech earlier this season. He also was a three away from matching a career-best of six trifectas done last season vs. McHenry.
Brooks was 9 of 12 overall from the field and 5 of 8 from three.
25 or 6 to 4
Kevin Cathey Jr. registered back-to-back performances of 15 points, five rebounds and five assists by going off for 16 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists vs. the Chaps. The sophomore guard's line vs. South Suburban was 15-8-6. It was the fifth time in his Morton College career that Cathey reached those numbers.
Simon says
Simon Tesfit matched his Morton College high with 12 points vs. the Chaps. The sophomore guard dropped a dozen points on Illinois Valley in the Panthers' opener back on November 1st.
Danny does it
Danny Thompson's 15 points gave him back-to-back double-figure scoring games for the second time in his Panther career and sixth overall.
Revenco and repeat

Cristian Revenco's last five games. He's had two 8 point and 8 rebound game and an 8-point, 7-rebound showing vs. COD.Â
