6’9 Senior star Steve Taylor lead his Simeon Wolverines team (Chicago Public League: Red South) to their best record in school history (33-1) and their third consecutive Class 4A state championship as he averaged 19 points, and 9 rebounds per game.
Taylor was considered by many if not most experts to be the top senior in the state of Illinois (2012).
Next year, Steve Taylor will be taking his talents to the Big East, where he will be a Marquette Golden Eagle under Coach Buzz Williams in Milwaukee, WI.
Special thanks to Steve Taylor and his parents and to coaches Robert Smith and Jeff Duncan at Simeon.

Jabari Parker & #1 Simeon edges #2 Proviso East in epic Illinois state title game for 3-Peat!

2 of the nation's best public high school teams, #1 Chicago Simeon (33-1) and #2 Proviso East (32-1) battled for the Illinois Class 4A state championship at Peoria’s Carver Arena in the matchup that hoops fans had been anticipating all season.
Proviso East's 6’5 junior Sterling Brown (brother of Suns’ Shannon Brown) gave 6’8 Simeon junior star Jabari Parker all he could handle, but Parker’s Simeon teammates were there to pick him up when it counted most. Parker scored 15 pts and senior Steve Taylor (Marquette) had 12 pts + 17 rebounds in Simeon’s third straight Class 4A title with a 50-48 victory. Parker has one more than the Bulls' Derrick Rose with one season to go.
The win gave Simeon their 6th state championship (IL record) and #5 for Simeon coach Robert Smith (IL record).
This game was tied at the half. Sterling Brown scored 10 of his 25 pts in the 3rd quarter to give Proviso East a 39-34 lead with 8 minutes to play. But in the 4th, an 8-0 run gave Simeon a 45-41 lead with 3:05 left. Simeon extended the lead on a vicious dunk by Parker with 12 secs left before Brown hit a 3-pointer with seconds remaining.
After winning, all of Simeon’s players (except Parker who was being interviewed) removed their shoes and placed them on the court. With the exception of Parker, the coach suspended all the returning players for the first game of next season following this incident.
Simeon and Proviso East have won 10 state championships between them. We won’t be surprised if both return to Peoria next March to add another.

Marquette-bound Steve Taylor (#1 ranked Illinois 2012) leads Chicago Simeon to 2nd consecutive Pontiac Holiday Tournament title

6’8 forward Steve Taylor was the best player in the 81st annual Pontiac Holiday Tournament (Pontiac, IL). His reverse slam over 6’9 Chicago Curie star Cliff Alexander helped Simeon (#1 in Illinois) hand Curie (#3 in Illinois) their first loss of the season to win Pontiac’s first ever all-Chicago final. Taylor was a unanimous selection to the all-tournament team. This was Simeon’s 10th Pontiac title in the last 16 years and this year’s crowds (2800+ per game) shattered records. The Pontiac Holiday tournament is highly regarded among Illinois HS basketball fans for the quality of the teams (City vs. Suburban), hospitality of the hosts and volunteers, the diehard, enthusiastic crowds and the big (yet intimate) old-school Central Illinois gym.
Every high school basketball fan should make the trip to Pontiac!
Thanks to everyone at Pontiac for making www.ebooksnet.com’s first trip a memorable one.
