Here we are the CPS Title Game: This is an unexpected matchup between Whitney Young and Morgan Park. Young is a serious contender for 4A Title while Morgan Park is a serious contender for 3A Title. Should be a great game here's the breakdown: WHITNEY YOUNG(22-3) VS MORGAN PARK(26-2)- Whitney Young has had a dominant run in the CPS Playoffs beating everyone by at least 17 points. They are playing great basketball at the right time of the year. Jahlil Okafor(6'10" center) has been dominant in the paint, Paul White(6'8" forward) has done a great Scottie Pippen imitation and LJ Peak(6'5"forward) has been his slashing self. All are juniors but Whitney Young's backcourt will be key. Morgan Park is still high over their upset of Simeon in the semifinals, DePaul signee Billy Garrett Jr(6'4" guard) has played very well, his backcourt mates Dayton signee Kyle Davis(6'0" guard) and Markee Williams(5'9" guard) make up the best backcourt in the state but a small and quick front court will be key. My prediction: While Morgan Park's backcourt is better, Young will dominate on the front line and get Morgan Park into foul trouble. Also Young has been dominant the whole tournament, and even though Morgan Park has had the toughest road to the Finals, I have Whitney Young winning the city title by 8 points. THERE YOU HAVE IT, SHOULD BE A GREAT ATMOSPHERE TONIGHT!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS AND PEACE TO THE CREATURES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Breakdown Chicago Public League SemiFinals!!!!!!!
This is the best high school post season tournament in the United States, better than the IHSA State Tournament. The semifinals will have two contenders for the 3A Title(Morgan Park,Orr) and 4A Title(Simeon,Whitney Young). This should be a great night at Chicago State on Wednesday night: 5pm ORR (23-2) VS WHITNEY YOUNG (21-3)---- I was at the game almost 2 weeks ago when Orr won the Red West Title at Young 50-47 on a 3 point buzzer beater by Jamie McDowell. Both teams were missing players who will be playing in this game Marlon Jones(Orr) and Paul White(Whitney Young). Orr is a controversial #1 seed in the tournament. I think the ankle injury to Orr's Tyquan Greer will decide this matchup. Look for Jahlil Okafor to dominate this time: WHITNEY YOUNG BY SIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SIMEON (22-2) VS MORGAN PARK(25-2)------ This will be a highly charged matchup because of the post game shoving match the last time they played a couple of weeks ago, which was a Simeon three point victory , then a 17 year old student at Morgan Park was killed outside Chicago State after the game. Also Kyle Davis(Morgan Park) has been talking trash about Jabari Parker(Simeon) in the papers. I think this will not bother Simeon one bit. They have a more disciplined team which will make the difference. I expect Parker to dominate Morgan Park on the interior along with Russell Woods(Simeon). Benches are about even and Morgan Park has the edge in the backcourt. As I said Simeon's discipline and the fact they have won these big games in the city and state over the last two years gives them the edge. Morgan Park will be too jacked up to play with discipline in this game: SIMEON BY EIGHT!!!!!!!!! Well there you have it: I will make my predictions and breakdown of the Final which will be played on Friday. GOD BLESS AND PEACE TO THE CREATURES!!!!!!!!
