After being shut out in the first half and missing significant minutes in the fourth quarter due to foul trouble, Barrington senior John Schneider bounced off the bench to convert a game-winning three-point play with a minute to play in a 54-51 win Friday night at MSL West rival Fremd.

Palatine and Hoffman Estates also return plenty of talent, while Conant and Fremd will reload after getting hit hard by graduation. Top five players: Christian Spandiary, Schaumburg, F, Sr.; Kyle Bolger, Schaumburg, G, Jr.; Austin Terry, Hoffman Estates, G, Sr.; John … ]]> Tue, 06 Dec 2011 19:34:33 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/barrington/boys_basketball/9290210-393/boys-basketball-mid-suburban-west-preview-capsules.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/barrington/boys_basketball/9290210-393/boys-basketball-mid-suburban-west-preview-capsules.html With center John Schneider out for six weeks with a broken finger, reserve Lee Conforti stepped up Friday night and provided Barrington with a much-need lift­ — along with the game-winning free throw with 43 seconds left.

Barrington fans can expect a fast-paced brand of basketball this winter, as baseline-to-baseline point guard Brad Zaumseil and 6-foot-7 slasher John Schneider are back to lead the Broncos.
