Thoughts on Season:
Extremely talented group, filled with varsity starters. Had 4 game winners on the season from 4 different players.
Standouts:
Jack Kalbas, 5’10 PG, Addison Trail 2017; clutch shooter, always makes the right play for his team. Plays with his heart and leaves everything out there.
Freddie Clay, 5’10 PG, Willowbrook 2017; pass first PG with great vision. Always guards other teams best perimeter player willingly. High IQ
John Detloff, 6’5 C, St. Francis 2018; John dominated inside until breaking his foot during summer school ball. Was averaging 17 points and 13 rebounds per game in 15 spring games.
