Illinois Class 4A and Class 3A State Finals Picks

WELL IT'S PEORIA AND THE STATE FINALS, COULD IT BE A PUBLIC LEAGUE PARTY OR WILL DOWNSTATE TEAMS TAKE BOTH TITLES?????? HERE WE GO: CLASS 4A: Simeon(Chicago) vs Proviso East(Maywood)- Rematch of last years State Title Game, Proviso East is looking for revenge for a 2 point loss, and Simeon is looking for history and a 4 peat. For me it comes down to this Proviso East team does not match up as well as they did last year. Jabari Parker will finally dominate at the State Finals and Kendrick Nunn and Jaylon Tate will provide steady guard play against Proviso's pressure. Sterling Brown and Paris Lee will not be enough, Simeon moves on to the title game. PREDICTION: SIMEON BY 10. Stevenson(Lincolnshire) vs Edwardsville- This will be size vs speed and execution, Edwardsville starts 4 6'5" guys and they are a steady and well rounded team. Stevenson has super sophomore point guard Jaylen Brunson who controls games, he will have to control this game for his young sophomore laden  team to advance. Garrett Covington a Western Illinois signee is one of the best kept secrets in the state of Illinois, a 6'5" guard who can hit the 3 and slash to the basket. This team from near St Louis will move on to the title game. PREDICTION: EDWARDSVILLE BY 8, TITLE GAME: Simeon(Chicago) vs Edwardsville- Edwardsville has the size and talent to stay with Simeon, but Jabari Parker, Kendrick Nunn will not be denied being this close to title Number 4 to close their stellar careers in dominating style. PREDICTION: SIMEON WINS BY 14 WINS A 4TH STRAIGHT STATE TITLE!!!!!!!!!!!                              CLASS 3A: Morgan Park(Chicago) vs Bartonville Limestone- Morgan Park has been dominant in the State Playoffs winning every game by at least 20 points, Billy Garrett Jr,Kyle Davis, and Markee Williams are a great backcourt and will control this game. Limestone's shooting guard Hank Matthews the coach's son will try to keep his team in the game but Morgan Park advances in blowout fashion. PREDICTION: MORGAN PARK BY 22. Cahokia vs Orr(Chicago)- Cahokia has motivation as they might lose their athletic programs after this season, they have point guard Keenan Minor, 6'7 big man Vincent Jackson and top junior 6'7" Darius Austin while Orr is also here for the 1st time counters with juniors Marlon Jones 6'8" and Tyquon Greer 6'7"but Orr's guards will decide this one Jamal McDowell and Simeon transfer Brandon Clemmons will control this game, Orr moves on. PREDICTION: ORR BY 8, TITLE GAME Morgan Park(Chicago) vs Orr(Chicago)- These two   Chicago Public League powerhouses have not met yet this season, Orr's Jones and Greer will have to dominate inside to put Orr over the top in this one, but I say Morgan Park has enough inside firepower to counter act that with Xzavier Taylor 6'9" and Josh Cunningham 6'7" to go along with Garrett Jr, Davis, and Williams, Morgan Park wins it's first State Title in 35 years to make it a Public League party in Peoria. PREDICTION: MORGAN PARK BY 12.   THERE YOU HAVE IT: CHICAGO PUBLIC LEAGUE HAS DOMINATED THE STATE ALL YEAR AND IT WILL SHOW THIS WEEKEND!!!!!!!! THIS IS MY RANT FOR TODAY, GOD BLESS AND PEACE TO THE CREATURES!!!!!!!! SO LONG FOLKS!!!!!!!!!!
