Who looked to have the better team between the Chicago schools?

Anyone know how the box score looked? Stewart, Novosel, Smart and Sanford? How did the scoring break down?

Kentucky High School basketball is much better than most of us think.

 

I moved from Kentucky many years ago, our kids played sports and now live in Chicago suburbs. I am able to see several games a year in Kentucky (some regular season, 10th region andstate tourneys, 5th/3rd) and watch a fair amount here.

Kentucky teams can play with the Illinois and Chicago teams. The best teams in Illinois are not always the Chicago teams but overall the Cook County teams are stronger than the downstate ones. It is sort of like Louisville, Lexington and the rest in Kentucky. The Chicago public league is particularly strong year in and year out.

Catholic beat a very strong team in besting Simeon althuogh they are down a bit from last year. The #1 team is Young that just beat Scot County by 3 or 4. Young has 6 Div 1 players. Scot Co. must be playing very well without Mackey to play with Young. I see oak hill beat up Hales Francison that has a very talented team.

I wish more Kentucky schools could play the Illinois schools. They would be competitive games.

I believe this was Simeons' first game so I can see why they would be easily rattled against a team like LexCath.

I saw that as well. It looked like in one website I saw that Simeon was ranked the #1 preseason Chicago team but you wonder how much of that is from last year with Rose leading their team. Anyways, still a good win for the Knights as they continue to get things going. You have to figure with football ending and the Knights getting at least Corvin back that they'll begin to improve more as they add an athletic ball handler to the mix.

Agreed. I love Corvin's game. He is a real garbage man who dives for loose balls and fights for rebounds like no one else on the team.
