And I think the combination of the great matchups put together and then the commitment from the schools to make it work &#8211; you don\u2019t hear too often about a school donating proceeds to another charity because schools need all the fundraising and income they can get &#8211; but it\u2019s a unique show of generosity to our foundation that we appreciate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Evanston High School played first-time host to the event, which had been at Loyola the previous six years, and featured three programs from Chicago&#8217;s North Shore &#8211; Loyola, New Trier and Evanston \u2013 versus Chicago and suburban schools Jacobs, Saint Patrick and Homewood-Flossmoor.<\/p>\n<p>The foundation was started by Mike and Mariann Stanton after the death of their four-year-old son Danny in 2010. Tom, Danny\u2019s uncle, was an assistant coach at Loyola at the time and learned the news of Danny\u2019s death one Saturday after practice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Loyola head coach Tom Livatino] was there with some of the other coaches,\u201d Tom Stanton recalled. \u201cHe knew from the very beginning the devastation of what happened with our family. He wanted to start a shootout of some kind, and given we coached together, decided to make our charity the beneficiary every year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The marquee game, Evanston\u2019s victory over Homewood-Flossmoor, was televised live. As a show of unity, all six teams wore shirts with the foundation\u2019s name on it during warmups, and PSA announcements were made throughout the day with statistics and information about epilepsy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPartnering with Danny Did makes this special,\u201d Livatino said. \u201cOur saying at Loyola is \u2018Men for others,\u2019 and this is one of those things where it\u2019s more than basketball, [it\u2019s about] an organization and a family that\u2019s very special to us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The organization also announced that next year\u2019s event will be hosted for the first time at New Trier.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In Game Action\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the day\u2019s first game, Jacobs defeated New Trier in convincing fashion, 63-49. Jacobs got off to an early lead and never let up, led by junior Ryan Phillips, who led all scorers with 23 points. Sophomore Spencer Boehm was New Trier\u2019s leading scorer with 11 points as the team dropped its second game in as many days.<\/p>\n<p>Saint Patrick got off to a strong start against Loyola behind 15 points in the first half from senior Alton Thompson. But Loyola outscored Saint Patrick 23-10 in the third quarter and held on to win 69-60. Senior Ramar Evans led the way for Loyola with 19 points and junior Kevin Cunningham added 18 in the victory.<\/p>\n<p>In the evening\u2019s prime time game, host Evanston led by as many as 14 in the first half, but Homewood-Flossmoor narrowed the lead to three at the end of the third quarter behind senior Jeffrey Boyd, who scored a team-high 18 points. The Wildkits, however, outscored the Vikings 17-10 in the fourth quarter and won 60-48, led by seniors Chris Hamil with 17 points and Nojel Eastern with 13.<\/p>\n<div class=\"featurecaption\">Photo at top: In its seventh year, the War on the Shore was held at Evanston High School for the first time.
