Illinois Class 4A And Class 3A Supersectional Capsules And Predictions!!!!!!!

Now it's SUPERSECTIONAL TIME, one game away from the State Finals in Peoria, season is winding down and it's sad in a way but here it goes: CHICAGO STATE UNIVERSITY: New Trier(Winnetka) vs Simeon(Chicago)- Some media members are trying to con us into believing New Trier has a chance to beat 3 time defending champ Simeon. News flash media NEW TRIER HAS NO CHANCE, too big, too strong, too intelligent, too well coached. Simeon's senior laden team led by McDonald's All-American Jabari Parker and Kendrick Nunn will overpower New Trier. Princeton signee Steven Cook has had a great playoff run but Simeon defensive stopper Kendall Pollard will shut him down. PREDICTION: SIMEON BY 25. HINSDALE CENTRAL: West Aurora(Aurora) vs  Proviso East(Maywood)- Rematch of last years Supersectional which was won by Proviso East, Proviso East will win again on the strength of the speed and quickness of SMU signee Sterling Brown, Illinois State signee Paris Lee and Brandon Jenkins. PREDICTION: PROVISO EAST BY 10. DEKALB(NORTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY): Boylan Catholic(Rockford) vs Stevenson(Lincolnshire)- Rockford Boylan's 6'6" senior big man Ben Grygiel could give Stevenson's sophomore laden team problems but I think super sophomore point guard Jaylen Brunson will trump that and take this young team down to Peoria earlier than scheduled. PREDICTION: STEVENSON BY 7. NORMAL(ILLINOIS STATE UNIVERSITY): Marian Catholic(Chicago Heights) vs Edwardsville- This is a tough one to call Marian Catholic has beaten bigger teams all season and Edwardsville has 4 starters at 6'5", but i think Marian Catholic's quickness and Tyler Ulis's ability to control the game from the point guard position will prevail. PREDICTION: MARIAN CATHOLIC BY 6.                                      CLASS 3A  This might be the better Final Four down in Peoria as you could have 2 powerhouse teams. DEKALB(NORTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY): St Francis(Wheaton) vs Bartonville Limestone- Limestone upset Washington in regionals and has a very goos sophomore point guard of their own. PREDICTION: BARTONVILLE LIMESTONE BY 10. JOLIET CENTRAL: Morgan Park(Chicago) vs Hillcrest(Country Club Hills)- This will be Morgan Park's toughest test yet because Hillcrest is a tough hard-nosed team who has been to this level before. I think too much talent at the guard positions in DePaul signee Billy Garrett Jr,Markee Williams, and Dayton signee Kyle Davis will be too much. The 3A Favorite moves on to Peoria. PREDICTION: MORGAN PARK BY 14. SPRINGFIELD: Cahokia vs Chatham(Glenwood)- Peyton Allen is a fabulous player who has come back from illness to get back to one of the best players on the state. But he alone is not enough for the talented Cahokia team led by Keenan Minor and super junior Darius Austin. PREDICTION: CAHOKIA BY 10. HOFFMAN ESTATES: North Chicago vs Orr(Chicago)- Best super sectional matchup in either 4A or 3A, a lot of talent on the floor and some edge here. These teams were supposed to play on MLK Day at the Young MLK shootout, but Orr backed out saying they wanted to wait until Supersectional. Well here it is and North Chicago's coach Gerald King Coleman said Orr was scared of North Chicago. Well between North Chicago's Javarious Amos-Mays, Kurt Hall, and Jayquon McCoy, and Orr's Marlon Jones, Louis Adams Jr, Tyquone Greer this will be entertaining and fast paced. Key to me will be Orr's point guard Jamal McDowell and North Chicago's point guard Emmanuel January and which one can stay in control of his team? North Chicago is looking for it's 3rd straight trip to Peoria and Orr is looking for it's 1st. This to me will be the difference, North Chicago moves on. PREDICTION: NORTH CHICAGO BY 5. THERE YOU HAVE IT, GREAT DAY TOMORROW AND EXCITING END TO THE HIGH SCHOOL SEASON IN THE CHICAGO AREA. THIS IS MY RANT FOR TODAY, GOD BLESS AND PEACE TO THE CREATURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
