It was only fitting that Blake Peters turned out to be the hero on his historic night.
The Evanston senior climbed to No. 1 on the school s career scoring list Wednesday night, but his legacy won t be that of a scorer - just of a winner.
Peters converted a pair of free throws with 1.5 seconds left in the third overtime as the Wildkits escaped Park Ridge with a 54-52 Central Suburban League South division marathon win over Maine South.

Peters reputation as a Maine South-killer was established with that memorable full-court shot he made to sink the Hawks his freshman year. Wednesday, he scored a game-high 23 points, 16 of them coming in the fourth quarter and the overtime periods.
