The CHIEF February 2018

In this tournament, Clayton Haase placed on the all- tournament team with the second most points (290) scored out of all players on the day. Freshman Ed Sarama also had an incredibly impactful day, falling just short of all-tournament honors. Outside of tournament play, our JV team has gone undefeated (12-0) under Mr. Sweetwood as coach and Clayton as captain. Top scorers, including Ed, Clayton, Aaron Putnam (Soph.), Hannah Wallace (Soph.), Servetka Bekirovski (Fresh.), Robert Young (Soph.), and Alec Kridner (Fresh.), have led our team to massive victories over our Illini-Prairie Conference foes, Olympia and Prairie Central, as well as other out-of-conference schools like Blue Ridge and Cornerstone Christian. Our Varsity team has been very successful as well, going 16- 6 under Mr. Ramseyer as coach and Henry Woodburn as captain. As the season comes to a close, we hope to maintain this success in the program with JV finishing up their final matches and Varsity heading into IHSA Regional Competition this month.
