Senior Joe Hamilton (No. 3) of Glenbard East’s boys basketball team is pictured late in the fourth quarter of the Rams’ Upstate Eight Conference game against Streamwood on Feb. 19. Hamilton scored on the play to cut the Sabres’ lead to 76-69. Streamwood defeated the Rams 79-72 in Lombard. Hamilton scored 10 points in the game. Glenbard East earned its first victory of the season earlier in the week, winning a conference home game against Elgin. One day after battling Streamwood, the Rams played their third home game of the week, facing Naperville Central in a non-conference contest. The visiting Redhawks beat Glenbard East 59-54. The Feb. 20 loss to Naperville Central sent the Rams’ overall record to 1-5.
