With just 1:09 left to play and Glenbrook North leading Taft by three points, sophomore Josh Fridman hit the court hard and waved for a trainer to come over. He was holding his shoulder and it was clear he wasn’t going to be able to finish the game.
Fridman had played very well up to that point, displaying guile and skill that few point guards in the area have shown this season. But now the Spartans were going to have to hold off Taft’s late charge without him.
