Jahlil Okafor Leads Comeback in Chicago City Title | Ballislife Recap

Scott Comeau — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 07:09:27 +0000

Arguably the nation's top player in the Class of 2014, Jahlil Okafor scored 19 points, grabbed 14 rebounds and blocked seven shots as #4 Young defeated #2 Morgan Park 60-56 in overtime in the Public League title game at Chicago State. The win gives Young its first city title since 1998.
Morgan Park's Division-1 bound senior guards Billy Garrett (Depaul) and Kyle Davis (Dayton) as well as rising-star 6'7 junior Josh Cunningham have wreaked havoc on their competition all season. If they were able to penetrate in this game, they weren't unable to score in the bunches they're used to. Davis led Morgan Park (26-3) with 14pts and 6 rebounds. Garrett finished with 12 points. Cunningham had 9 points (including 2 nice dunks), 5 rebounds.
Whitney Young Junior Miles Reynolds’ three-pointer with 53 seconds to play was the biggest shot of the game. It tied the score at 51 (after Young trailed by 7 at the half), and sent the game to overtime (and set off his dad and Chicago's Mayor Rahm Emanuel in the stands). Reynolds finished with 13 points (3-threes).
Young transfer from South Carolina, Junior LJ Peak contributed 15 points, 5 rebounds including some clutch hoops in OT.
In the end, it was all about Chicago's biggest fella, Jahlil Okafor. In the biggest game of his high school career, he came up biggest and he was too much for Morgan Park to overcome on this night.

Jabari Parker Makes His Season Debut As #1 Simeon Puts On A SHOW In Front of HUGE Crowd at Chicago Elite Classic (Game Recap Mix)

Scott Comeau — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 19:31:04 +0000

Seen in a walking boot on Wednesday, reigning Illinois Mr. Basketball, 6’8 Simeon Career Academy senior Jabari Parker said all week he wouldn’t rush his return to the court.
On Saturday, before a crowd of 7,128 fans at the inaugural Chicago Elite Classic at UIC Pavilion, Parker made his surprise debut (playing 10 minutes). His broken foot had kept him from playing since July, so he was rusty and not playing in top shape. Wearing custom Nike’s for protection, Parker finished with 6 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal. After the game, he graded his performance “D+” with a smile.
After the buzz surrounding Parker subsided, senior Illinois-commits PG Jaylon Tate (2 points, 9 assists, 4 steals) and SG Kendrick Nunn (11 points, 6 rebounds) led three-time defending state champion Simeon's 56-35 season-opening victory over Milton (Ga.) as their future college coach John Groce sat courtside.
Simeon’s stifling defense led to countless turnovers and fast breaks all night long.
Best known for their defense, Simeon senior’s #15 Russell Woods (7 points) and Dayton-commit Kendall Pollard (7 points) also threw down monstrous dunks off Tate’s assists.
The starters moved to the bench for much of the second half allowing star sophomore #0 Dennis “DJ” Williams to score 12 points and star freshman #10 Zack Norvell to nail his first 3 for Simeon. The starters returned for a curtain call in the fourth with the final alley oop from Jay Tate to Kendrick Nunn.
