Jahlil Okafor vs Cliff Alexander in Chicago State Tourney | Ballislife Mix

Scott Comeau — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 05:11:39 +0000

This Illinois State Sectional matchup of five-star bigs lived up to the hype. And so did Whitney Young HS vs Curie HS.

In perhaps the biggest game in Chicago Curie High School history, they faced the nation's top player in the Class of 2014, 6'11 Jahlil Okafor and his loaded #1 Whitney Young HS team with their seasons on the line. But 6'9 Cliff Alexander and his Curie Condor teammates were ready for battle.

Jahlil Okafor and Cliff Alexander took turns thrilling the crowd at Argo HS (Summit, IL), but it was Okafor who won as #1 Whitney Young (27-3) came-from-behind 62-58 vs #9 Curie (19-8) in the Class 4A sectional semifinal.

Okafor finished with 13 points, three blocks and three rebounds.

Alexander scored 14, three blocks, and grabbed eight rebounds.

While the bigs battled, elite (top 60) juniors L.J. Peak (23 points) and Paul White (11 points) helped supply the offensive support Young needed.

Thanks to the coaches and players at Whitney Young and Curie High Schools. Thanks to everyone at Argo HS.

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.

Game 1: W 72-48: 34 points, 9 rebounds while holding 6-9 North Carolina State recruit BeeJay Anya to 11 points and five rebounds for nationally-ranked DeMatha (MD). MSU’s Izzo among the 7,000+ in the gym.

Game 2: W 99-38: 31 points, 9 rebounds in less than 2 quarters. Okafor scored at will in this conference blowout.

Game 3: W 98-49: In 15 minutes, shot 13-13 (27 points, 9 rebounds, 6 block) including 15 points in 3rd quarter (and a 3-pointer) in front of Illinois coach John Groce and Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski in packed home opener vs #25 previously unbeaten Westinghouse.

6'11 Jahlil Okafor is arguably the nation's best (next) big man and he's just a sophomore (Class of 2014).
Jahlil draws frequent comparison's to OSU star Jared Sullinger and Coach K was quoted as saying Okafor could play for his Duke team NOW!
Oakafor led the Whitney Young Dolphins (Chicago Public League) to a 4A regional title averaging 24.0 points per game and 8 rebounds per game for the season. Opponents consistently tried to double team and even triple team him.
Enjoy this season mix from Jahlil Okafor's sophomore high school season across the Chicago area.
Thanks to Coach Ty Slaughter and Twin and everyone at Chicago Whitney Young HS, especially the players and coaches!
