During the J.V. game against Waukegan, there was a brief span during the game when the Warriors had six players on the court.

The J.V.'s lost the game 32 to 50.

The closest score of the season came against Barrington on November 19. Maine West led during the first half but gave the ball away too many times and finally lost a heartbreaker 45 to 49.
