Chicago Private Schools!!!!!!!!! Terrible.

Once again this year an excellent team from down south made it to the state championship, but they werent able to win it because of the CHEATERS from the north. The IHSA never does anything about the Recruiting violations that take place every single year in Chicago public schools. Teams like Breese Central and Massac County take the players from ONLY their school and they are able to compete each and every year, and every year they take high hopes to the state tournament only to be beat by these All-Star teams from Chicago. This year Seton Academy beat a Very VERY good Massac County in the State Championship by 20 points and it wasnt even close. The problem is though that two of Seton Academy's top players transferred in from Peoria just for their senior year and the rest of the team was select players from all over Chicago. Some people might say that its just a coincidence that all these players transferred in for the same year on the same team BUT, i dont because of this... "I came here because I believed in Coach Ken," Thomas said. "A lot of coaches talked to me about going to their school and promised me different things. I had never heard of Seton, but I knew Coach Ken would build a champion here and help me get to the next level." This was a quote from one of the Seton Academy players.. For one thing why would you come to the school if you didnt ever even here of it, obviously things were promised to them.. TERRIBLE, recruiting to win a small class state championship, let us play a real team from Chicago not a select all-state team and see how many titles we win.

D Wade... Making His Case

Dwayne Wade has been known as a star in the NBA since he got into the league. He is know for his nickname Flash, which he recieved for obvious reasons.. The guy can fly, hes quick, and he can make any shot. The problem has been that even with Wade's stellar play the past couple years he has taken a back seat to other superstars like Lebron James and Kobe Bryant. This year though, Flash has taken over.. He leads the league in scoring and he has led a 15 win team from last year, to a 6 games above .500 record.. for many he has to be the MVP because of all the game winning shots he has made and the fact that he has a less than impressive team in the Eastern Conference playoffs as of right now.

SuperSectional

Tonight we play Massac County for the supersectional championship. So far this post season we have beaten 3 state ranked teams and proved we can play with anyone. We beat Nashville in the regional finals, Columbia in the 1st round of sectionals, and Greenville in the Sectional finals. A lot of people said that we have had the toughest road to super sectionals thus far. Massac on the other hand hasn't played anyone tough in the post season yet. They have played 3 teams so far that arent nearly as good as anyone we have met this post season. However, they are probably going to prove to be our biggest test this whole season. We havent played anyone that is as fast as them and they have one of the best players in the state leading them in Byron Bailey, but on the other hand they havent met a team with near the size as we have. No matter what they will have to have at least two guys shorter than 6'4 guarding two of our three post players, all of them are at least 6'5. So it will be a classic speed vs size matchup, and hopefully we come out on tough!!!!
