Glenn Robinson III and Lake Central upset by South Bend Adams

It was a chaotic day on Saturday in the Indiana state playoffs and Lake Central fell victim to the upset bug. Lake Central led by as many as 10 points in the third quarter but fell victim to South Bend Adams’ full court press down the stretch. Adams knocked off Lake Central by a final score of 76-72 and ended Glenn Robinson III’s high school career.

Robinson had 29 points in the loss but missed a pair of free throws in the final minute while Lake Central was trailing by one. Lake Central was 18-of-33 at the charity stripe for the game. Here’s Robinson’s coach, Dave Milausnic, on Robinson’s game and career:

“The numbers are the numbers,” Milausnic said. “The last quarter is no reflection on (Robinson’s) career. He’s been an unbelievable player. He’s one of the best players in the state. Everybody’s awfully proud of him.” (Photo: Sun Trib)
