It is part of Glenbard Township High School District 87, which also includes Glenbard South High School, Glenbard East High School, and Glenbard West High School. Glenbard North High School, or GBN, and locally referred to as "Glenbard" or "North", is a public closed campus four-year high school located at the corner of Kuhn Road and Lies Road in Carol Stream, Illinois, a western suburb of Chicago, Illinois, in the United States. That's a tribute to the way they play and they're so unselfish. They've given our staff, our school community and our community something that we've never seen in our school before. That's who they are and what they're about. "I loved that they just didn't go down without swinging. "We knew it was going to be a Herculean effort, but I loved that our kids kept playing," Tigers coach Mike Healy said. The Tigers were paced by Rourke Robinson's 12 points, while Healy had 6 points. We have to evaluate, start tonight and tomorrow morning in our preparation how we can we effectively control and how we're going to handle ourselves." They're going to have a different game plan in general, and we're on a college court, so that changes also. "They're going to have a different approach. "(Larkin is) way better (now) than they (were) when we played them," Hilltoppers coach Jason Opoka said. Glenbard West won their regular-season meeting against the Royals 64-43 on Jan. supersectional Monday at Northern Illinois University. Glenbard West next faces Larkin in a 7:30 p.m. In the fourth quarter Tigers forward Tyler Fawcett and Hilltoppers guard Paxton Warden traded 3s, but Huff soon connected on a layup and Renfro slammed home a dunk to put the exclamation point on the game. A 16-3 Hilltoppers' run to open the third quarter broke the game wide open. Glenbard West forced nine Tigers turnovers' in the first quarter on the way to a 30-17 halftime lead. Fight and claw, give it everything we got." No one I'd rather do it with, and (if) that's how we're supposed to go out, that's how we're supposed to go out. I was fighting for practice tomorrow with my guys (and) sharing doughnuts after practice. I wasn't fighting for a state championship. "It's hard to think that this is the end," Tigers senior guard Danny Healy said. It culminated in the program's first sectional final since 1981. WW South (32-3), like Glenbard West, had a historic season. The Tigers, on the other side, fought back tears exiting the court. It's a fun group of guys to play with and we're going to soak in every second together." But we're really excited with where we're at right now. We definitely want to achieve higher goals than just to make it there and we want to ultimately win state win the whole thing. "… Just being able to create that history and that legacy is a really cool accomplishment for us. "It's for sure an awesome accomplishment," Huff said. Princeton commit Caden Pierce added 10 points for the Hilltoppers. Gonzaga recruit Braden Huff finished with 19 points, while Renfro had 8 points and 5 rebounds. It just means so much because we were once a fan, so it's just cool to see all of them coming helping us out for sure." "After the game we had so many people giving us high-fives (and) photos. "We're just really thankful for the whole town coming together," Hilltoppers senior forward Ryan Renfro said. Glenbard West, a 34-1 juggernaut, soon lifted its first sectional title plaque since 2007.
