Sam Shafer Wins Player of Week
Congratulations to Lincoln Way East 2018 small forward Sam Shafer on winning the latest PrepHoopsIllinois Player of the Week Award! He got 43% of the vote narrowly beating out second place finisher Fenwick freshman DJ Steward who had 39%.
Shafer earned the award with a monster performance against undefeated and nationally ranked Bolingbrook. He went off for 31 points and 11 rebounds in a win over the state’s top ranked team. Shafer has had a consistent season posting quality numbers, but this was definitely one of his biggest games of the season. He is a plus shooter from the perimeter that moves well without the ball and is a quality athlete. Rebounds well from his wing position. Should be a prospect that gets D1 attention this spring with the Illinois Wolves.
Congrats again to Shafer on the PrepHoopsIllinois Player of the Week Award.
