IHSA CLASS 3A SECTIONAL FINALS!!!!!!
Well what we have here? Defending 3A Champ Morgan Park is still alive and looks like they have upped the engines. Sectional Final time, here we go: ANTIOCH-North Chicago vs Carmel(Mundelein)- North Chicago seems to be serious about playing some defense(they haven't played much of it all season). Their big three Murray State signee Jayquan McCloud(6'4" senior), Toledo commit Kurt Carr(6'6" senior), Javarious Amos-Mays(6'4" senior) are big time scorers. Jamario Shelton(6'2" junior), and football Arnold Shead(5'9" senior). Great lineup for them they finished 2nd as sophomores. Carmel is a team that is newly into the very good team category. Jack George (6'9" senior) can do some damage inside as North Chicago does not have much size. Carmel's backcourt is key they have to take care of the ball to have a chance in this game. PREDICTION: NORTH CHICAGO. VOCATIONAL-Bogan(Chicago) vs Hyde Park(Chicago): This is going to be a war, Chicago Public League teams battling it out. Luwanne Pipkins (5'9" junior) scored 45 points on Tuesday vs Chicago U High, also Bryce Barnes (5'9" sophomore) is a key in a 4 guard backcourt. Antonio Thomas will be huge on the interior for Bogan. Marcus Smith(6'2" senior) and Cashell Dixon(6'2" senior) is an underrated backcourt and this will be an entertaining game watching the backcourts. I would pick Hyde Park but they are missing their coach for suspension for playing 1 too many regular season games. PREDICTION: BOGAN. WESTINGHOUSE-Orr(Chicago) vs Fenwick(Oak Park): Normally this would be Orr all the way but they are missing a big gun Tyquaan Greer(6'6"senior) was shot last weekend and is out for the season. Orr finished 4th last season in 3A. As it is they still have All City Louis Adams Jr(6'4"senior), Malcolm Jones(6'9" senior), Isaiah Hayes(6'2"senior), and Armani Ousley(6'1" senior) who is back from grotesque ankle injury suffered in regular season game vs Whitney Young. Fenwick has Northwestern signee Scott Lindsey(6'5" senior), Mike Smith(5'11" sophomore) running the show. Dan Dwyer(6'8" senior) is the inside force. Fenwick will try and control tempo, I still think Orr is too strong though. PREDICTION: ORR. HAMPSHIRE- Lutheran(Rockford) vs Sycamore: I don't know anything about either of these teams, I have heard good things about Lutheran so: PREDICTION: ROCKFORD LUTHERAN. HIGHLAND-Cahokia vs Marion: Same as the last one don't know much except Cahokia finished 3rd in 3A last season and they still have St Louis signee Darius Austin(6'5" senior) and Drake signeeCJ Rivers (6'3" senior). PREDICTION:CAHOKIA. MATTOON: Lincoln vs Central(Champaign): Lincoln has been in the Top 5 in 3A all season long, and Central upset undefeated and #1 in 3A Lanpher Springfield on Tuesday. Tough one to call but: PREDICTION:LINCOLN. RICH EAST-Morgan Park(Chicago) vs Catholic(Joliet):Defending 3A Champ Morgan Park is poised for another run with Josh Cunningham(6'7" senior), Lamont Walker(6'5" senior), Charlie Moore(5'9" sophomore), Alonzo Chatman(6'7" sophomore) and Jarrin Randle 5'9" sophomore). A lot of talent on that team. Joliet Catholic is known more as a football school, they have only 3 seniors on their roster. Well.....PREDICTION: MORGAN PARK. BRADLEY UNIVERSITY-Notre Dame(Peoria) vs Morton: This is a total guess. PREDICTION: PEORIA NOTRE DAME. THERE YOU HAVE IT CLASS 3A WHICH SOME OF THE TEAMS I FRANKLY HAVE NOT SEEN BUT OH WELL!!!!!! THIS IS MY RANT FOR TODAY, GOD BLESS AND PEACE TO THE CREATURES!!!!!!!
