First 15 days of the Illinois High School Basketball Season

Well a great start to the high school season. Ryan Boatright (Connecticut signee) of East Aurora(Aurora) has a fabulous triple double of 55 points 10 rebounds and 10 steals vs St Charles North in second game of season. Anthony Davis(Kentucky signee) of Perspectives MSA(Chicago) is averaging 38 points a game and has had 1 triple double for an 0-6 team. Wayne Blackshear(Louisville signee) of Defending City Champ Morgan Park(Chicago) is dominating so far in a 2-0 start. Also Mycheal Henry(Illinois signee) of Orr(Chicago) is off to a fabulous start also. As for teams Whitney Young (Chicago) has had a shocking loss to Southeast(Springfield) at the Springfield Shootout. And Defending 4A Champ Simeon(Chicago) is looking like it could be one of the best teams of all time in Illinois in dismantling of Defending 3A Champ Hillcrest(Country Club Hills). Surprise team has been Notre Dame (Niles) with a 7-0 record. Leaders have been Quentin Chievous(son of Missouri All-American Derrick Chievous) and unsigned Rodney Pryor. Also getting help from 3 point specialist Ryan Tompkins. Most disappointing team has been Evanston with a 4-3 record. Tough sledding under new coach Mike Ellis. We will know more after Christmas Tourneys. Chicago Public Schools Tournament will probably be the best in the country even without Whitney Young(Chicago). 50th Annual Proviso West Tournament will be great as usual. This is my rant for today. Happy Holidays to everyone and God Bless.
