Curie beats Kenwood 64-50.
Justin Oliver had 15 points and 6 assists. Kendall Holliday added 14 points and 9 rebounds and Saquan Commings scored 11.
It will be Curie vs. Lincoln Park in the city title game on Friday at UIC. I believe it is the 125th city championship.

Chicago guard Justin Oliver career-high 39 points in a 71-67 Curie Condors win (15-1) vs Bolingbrook at the Steve Pappas Shootout. The unsigned senior from Chicago Public League’s top team shot 14-20 (5-7 3s)
Curie senior Justin Oliver is just an old school baller. He makes shots, constantly makes plays and puts pressure on opponents. What an impressive performance here against Bolingbrook — and still a quarter left. Oliver has poured in 32 pts and created for others along the way.
That was a fun one.
In what was the best individual performance I’ve seen this season from a player, Justin Oliver pours in 39 points in leading Curie to a 71-67 win over Bolingbrook.
The senior guard’s shot-making throughout the game was at such a high level.
Canelo to Terence Crawford before losing to him:
“Mention one elite fighter, just one!”
Crawford: “YOU!”
“So when I beat you are you gonna be a nobody? When I STOMP A MUDHOLE in your a** are you gonna be a nobody? You gonna be just like everybody else”
