IHSA CLASS 4A SECTIONAL FINALS!!!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow night is Sectional Final night in the two largest classes in Illinois. Simeon's run of 4 straight 4A State Titles was ended last night by Whitney Young so we will have a new champion in 4A. Here we go: EAST AURORA-Benet Academy(Lisle) vs Geneva: Upstart Geneva is heresurprisingly 6'7" junior Nate Navigato is a division 1 prospect his supporting cast will have to show up again to knock off top seeded Benet and 6'9" Xavier signee Sean O'Mara. Guard play will be key if Geneva can pressure Benet's guards into turnovers as their guards are average we could see an upset. PREDICTION:BENET. BARTLETT-Morton(Berwyn-Cicero) vs Glenbard North:Morton is a good program and has a very good coach with Weisner Perez(6'6" junior) is very good from 15 feet in,Greg Carter is an explosive scorer and this team plays great team ball, do not know much about Glenbard North who is another cinderella squad. PREDICTION:MORTON. MARIST- Whitney Young(Chicago) vs St Rita(Chicago): Young is very focused on a State Title after slaying their nemesis the last few years Simeon. With the #1 player in the country Duke signee McDonald's All-American Jahlil Okafor(6'11" senior), Georgetown signee Paul White(6'9" senior) and St Louis signee Miles Reynolds(6'3" senior) the big three will be tough to stop. Very good supporting cast with Rodney Herenton Jr(6'2" sophomore) and Erwin Henry (6'2" senior) playing big roles in Simeon victory. St Rita has underachieved most of the season with Northwestern signee Vic Law(6'7" senior), Catholic North Player of The year Dominique Matthews(6'2" senior), his brother Kentucky commit Charles Matthews(6'6" junior) who has come alive lately, and Myles Carter (6'7" junior) another division 1 prospect this should be a great collision. PREDICTION:WHITNEY YOUNG. EAST MOLINE-Edwardsville vs Normal: Don't know much about these downstate teams except Edwardsville finished 4th last season in Class 4A and point guard Shawn Roundtree(6'2" senior). PREDICTION:EDWARDSVILLE. ELGIN-Auburn(Rockford) vs South(Elgin): Great backcourt for Auburn of juniors Antoine Pittman and Laytwan Porter controls the tempo for them, South Elgin is the surprise of the tournament after beating Top Seed Larkin in first round. Their Coach is suspended for scheduling 1 too many games. This is the game they will miss him. PREDICTION: AUBURN. THORNTON-Marian Catholic(Chicago Heights) vs Homewood Flossmoor: Marian is led by the incomparable point guard, Kentucky signee and McDonald's All-American Tyler Ulis(5'9" senior) but Army signee Terrone Parham(6'7" senior), Kijana Crawford(5'9" senior), and John Oliver (6'3" senior) are keys also to their uptempo game. 6'7" senior Tai Odiasse is key for Homewood Flossmoor as he had huge numbers in the loss Thanksgiving to Marian Catholic, their guards will be key they have to protect the ball against the fast and quick defense of Marian Catholic to have a chance. PRECICTION: MARIAN CATHOLIC. LAKE ZURICH-Stevenson(Lincolnshire) vs Fremd(Palatine): Stevenson to me is the best team in the state, they have lost 1 game this season which was without a key player being suspended guard Matt Johnson(5'11" junior). Johnson has ben that third guy this season to support super point guard Jalen Brunson (6'2" junior) and Conner Cashaw(6'4" junior). Matt Morrissey(6'3" senior) and Parker Nichols(6'5" junior). They can hit three point shots from all 5 spots on the floor and will be tough to beat. Fremd is the only undefeated team left in the State of Illinois. They have Cornell signee Riley Glassman(6'4" senior) and Xavier Williams along with 6'6" senior Ben Carlson. This will be speed and fast breaking(Stevenson) vs methodical and slow down(Fremd). Who will win? PREDICTION: STEVENSON I WILL STICK WITH MY STATE CHAMP PICK!!!!!! MAINE SOUTH-Loyola(Wilmette) vs Maine South(Park Ridge): Maine South has the home court advantage and this is top seed(Loyola) vs second seed(Maine South). Loyola has three perimeter three point shooters in Kevin Kucera(6'0" senior), Jack Morrissey(6'1"senior), and James Clarke(6'1"senior) with Griffin Boehm(6'4"junior) doing the dirty work inside. For Maine South it's Caleb DeMarigny(6'3" junior), George Sergeant(6'7" junior), Andrew Palucki(6'3" senior) the keys. Maine South wants a methodical slow down game, Loyola will run a little bit and also run half court offense to get open three point shots. Should be a low scoring game. PREDICTION: MAINE SOUTH. THERE YOU HAVE IT MY PREDICTIONS AND BREAKDOWN OF THE GAMES!!!!!! I'll be at Thornton to see Tyler Ulis's last game in the Chicagoland Area. THIS IS MY RANT FOR TODAY, GOD BLESS AND PEACE TO THE CREATURES!!!!!!!!
