Chicago Public League Semifinals!!!!!!

Today is the CPS or Chicago Public League semifinals, I plan on being out at Chicago State tonight. Should be some great basketball once again, I was 2 for 4 in predictions on Sunday(smh). Let's see if I do better today. CURIE VS HYDE PARK 5PM- These teams finished 1st and 2nd in the Red Central this year. First game Curie dominated, 2nd game was a three point game down to the last shot. Will the 3rd time be the charm for Hyde Park? Hyde Park is here on the strength of their guards Marcus Smith (6'2" senior) and Cashell Dixon (6'2" senior) both are very underrated. Inside game consist of Kendall Ivy (6'3" senior) and Antione Pike (6'5" junior). Curie is ranked #2 in the nation with National Player of The Year candidate Big Cliff Alexander (6'9" senior) signed with Kansas and the Stamps brothers Joe(6'2" senior) and Josh(6'5" senior). Not sure Hyde Park can slow down Alexander enough. Prediction: Curie moves onto the Final. WHITNEY YOUNG VS ORR 7PM- This will be a war between 1st and 2nd place teams in the Red West. Young won the only matchup between these two teams in regular season, the 2nd game was cancelled due to weather. For Young of course #1 player in the country Jahlil Okafor(6'11" senior) signed with Duke. Also Paul White(6'9" senior) signed with Georgetown who was key in the lone regular season matchup, the third big gun is Miles Reynolds(6'3" senior) signed with St Louis who suffered a bad gash on his forehead in quarterfinals vs Morgan Park. He gutted it out and will probably play tonight. As for Orr the key will be inside once again with Marlon Jones (6'8" senior) and Tyquaan Greer(6'5" senior) who had a monster game in the quarterfinals. Orr needs All-City Player Louis Adams Jr(6'4" senior) to be at his best to beat Young. As it is I think Young is too experienced and poised to lose this one. Prediction: Young moves onto the Final and a Clash of the Titans Jahlil Okafor vs Cliff Alexander two of the top 3 Players in the Country. THIS IS MY RANT FOR TODAY!!!!!!!! I WILL BE HERE TO PREDICT THE FINAL ON FRIDAY NIGHT!!!! GOD BLESS AND PEACE TO THE CREATURES!!!!!!!!
