Simeon vs Whitney Young Round 2 Class 4A Sectional Final!!!!!!!
I Know people are going to say I am being presumptuous for saying this, but this is the true State Title Game in Class 4A. It's too bad it's happening in a Sectional Final, this could be an all-time Classic Game. I think part of it has been taken away with Whitney Young playing back to back days. Two teams that are ranked in the Top 10 Nationally. Here we go: Simeon(Chicago) vs Whitney Young(Chicago)- BACKCOURT: Jaylen Tate and Kendrick Nunn(Simeon) vs Austere Madison and Myles Reynolds(Young)-Tate has been solid most of the year at point guard and he will team with Nunn who's a high flyer and 3 point shooter, at Illnois but unfinished business here. Madison has grown on me, he doesn't shoot a lot but can make shots, he does his job gets it to the scorers, Reynolds is a knockdown 3 point shooter. Both teams are very good defensively in the backcourt. ADVANTAGE- SIMEON. FRONTCOURT: Kendall Pollard,Jabari Parker,Russell Woods(Simeon) vs LJ Peak, Paul White, Jahlil Okafor(Young)- Lots of star power here, you have a McDonalds All-American(Parker), defensive stopper in Pollard, and a glass cleaner in Woods. But Young has three Top 50 National juniors on their frontline and Okafor will be a McDonalds All-American next season. To me a no brainer on advantage here. ADVANTAGE-WHITNEY YOUNG. BENCH: Donte Ingram,DJ Williams(Simeon), Joseph Toye(Young)- Simeon's bench is not as good as at the start of the season, Robert Smith has shortened his bench but Young has practically nothing coming off it's bench. ADVANTAGE- SIMEON. COACHING: Robert Smith(Simeon) vs Tyrone Slaughter(Whitney Young)- Both have won State Titles, Smith has a State Record 5 State Titles on his resume, Slaughter I will say is much improved as a coach, let's his players play with more freedom than usual, but..........ADVANTAGE: SIMEON CONCLUSION................ I DON'T THINK THIS WILL BE THE CLASSIC THAT PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR, PARTLY BECAUSE OF THE SNOW CHANGING THE SCHEDULE, AND YOUNG HAVING TO PLAY BACK TO BACK DAYS WITH NO BENCH TO SPEAK OF. ALSO SIMEON IS ON A MISSION FOR HISTORY TO WIN 4 STRAIGHT STATE TITLES. MY PREDICTION IS........................ SIMEON BY 8 AND MOVES ON TO MAKE IT 4 STRAIGHT TITLES!!!!!!! PS KEY WILL BE IF PAUL WHITE SHOWS UP, HE HAS NEVER SHOWN UP VS SIMEON, CAN HE DO IT THIS TIME??????????
