Clearly there's a heartier breed up North...
The "Lake Effect" pros from @EPA_Hoops (as in Lake Erie, PA) and @DMEatSJNAmbb (as in Wisconsin) shrugged off this snow-nado that wiped out prep ball yesterday in the rest of the Eastern USA.
And turned it into an OT thriller to get everyone heated up. Erie Prep prevailed 91-85
Ps. They were already at the locale on Sunday because they played there on Saturday
