North Catholic (3-0) led 24-16 at the break, but pulled away in the second half. The Trojans outscored the Golden Eagles 13-5 in the third quarter and 13-7 in the final frame.

"North Catholic is very, very good," said KC coach Justin Magestro. "They shoot the ball well. I was a little nervous playing them for our first game knowing they had two games in, but I think we had our chances in the first half.

"We had way too many unforced turnovers. We only shot 50 percent from the free-throw line and were out-rebounded. We missed probably six layups. We were out-hustled too. When you play a great team, you can't do that.

"This is one of those games that's a learning opportunity. Three-quarters of the way through the season you can say 'hey that game made us a lot better.' We have to do a better job taking care of the ball. Overall I wasn't disappointed. We had chances in the first half but let it get away in the second half.

"My hats off to them. They will have a great season. This game will make us better and we'll grow from it."

Tuesday's matchup featured a trio of players who made the All-State Team last year — Lewandowski, Rocco, and Fields.

North Catholic ended Lakeview's playoff run in the 2nd round of the PIAAs last season. The Trojans ended up losing to Freedom Area in the Class 3A semifinals.
