After taking the CCIW outright with a record of 23-3 in the regular season, the Titans fell flat in the championship game against the Thunder of Wheaton College. Returning to Shirk Center for Wheaton was Nate Haynes who has played there several times during his high school career at Normal Community.
The bucket just seemed to close every time the ball hit the rim or glass when the Titans put up the ball hitting only 23 of 47 shots from the floor and only 15 of 27 free throws. The Thunder faired better, opening up the hoop for 25 of 45 from the floor and 30 of 33 from the free pass line.
Dylan Overstreet led the Titans with 15 points, Tyler Peter for the Thunder with 29. NCHS product Nate Haynes finished with 16 points and 6 rebounds.
