Simeon phenom Jabari Parker is in the midst of another state championship run, but as the season comes to a close another drama will reach its defining moments over the spring and summer: the recruitment. Parker is the most sought-after prospect in the country and the media attention surrounding him will equal if not surpass the spotlight felt by Jon Scheyer, Derrick … ]]> Wed, 14 Mar 2012 22:10:26 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marshall/boys_basketball/11304674-393/boys-basketball-class-3a4a-all-state-teams-loaded-with-talent.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marshall/boys_basketball/11304674-393/boys-basketball-class-3a4a-all-state-teams-loaded-with-talent.html
North Chicago senior Aaron Simpson is the kind of player who takes an NBA-length three late in the game, with the other team’s best player guarding him tightly and a trip to state on the line. He’s confident to the point of total recklessness. He’s also the kind of player that makes that shot. That’s exactly how it went down Tuesday at … ]]> Tue, 13 Mar 2012 21:48:53 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marshall/boys_basketball/11279263-393/boys-basketball-aaron-simpson-propels-north-chicago-past-marshall.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marshall/boys_basketball/11279263-393/boys-basketball-aaron-simpson-propels-north-chicago-past-marshall.html The vast majority of a packed gym was cheering for St. Francis to continue its Cinderella run Friday night, but Marshall never wavered. Relying on seniors Korbin McClain and Milton Doyle, the Commandos held off St. Francis 45-41 to win the Class 3A Glenbard South Sectional championship and earn a berth in Tuesday’s Hoffman Estates Supersectional. “We can never let the crowd … ]]> Fri, 09 Mar 2012 22:08:38 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marshall/boys_basketball/11188242-393/boys-basketball-marshall-holds-on-ends-st-francis-run.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marshall/boys_basketball/11188242-393/boys-basketball-marshall-holds-on-ends-st-francis-run.html
City The Public League has only three players who have signed with Division I schools, including just one high-major recruit in the class of 2012. But it’s been quite some time since the Public League will be returning a collection of high-level talent like the group that is coming through in the next couple of years. The list goes beyond national headliners … ]]> Thu, 08 Mar 2012 18:00:45 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marshall/boys_basketball/11158381-393/joe-henricksens-citysuburban-hoops-report.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marshall/boys_basketball/11158381-393/joe-henricksens-citysuburban-hoops-report.html Marshall guard Cris Craig didn’t get many opportunities to score Wednesday, but he came through when it counted most. The 6-1 junior guard had attempted only four shots when he received a pass in the left corner and knocked down a three-pointer with 2:37 left in the fourth quarter to give the Commandos their first lead since early in the first quarter. … ]]> Wed, 07 Mar 2012 21:59:50 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marshall/boys_basketball/11138013-393/boys-basketball-marshall-rises-beats-st-joseph.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marshall/boys_basketball/11138013-393/boys-basketball-marshall-rises-beats-st-joseph.html A loss to Westinghouse in the conference finale cost Marshall the outright Red-West championship, but Marshall refused to let Westinghouse destroy its entire season. The Commandos avenged that earlier defeat by knocking off the Warriors 77-60 Friday in the Class 3A Marshall Regional final. Several Marshall players said revenge was a factor and their intensity on the court backed their point up, … ]]> Fri, 02 Mar 2012 23:40:09 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marshall/boys_basketball/11022151-401/boys-basketball-marshall-gains-revenge-against-westinghouse.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marshall/boys_basketball/11022151-401/boys-basketball-marshall-gains-revenge-against-westinghouse.html Host Marshall may have registered a 15-point victory over Montini Tuesday in a Class 3A regional semifinal, but the 60-45 score does not reflect how close a contest it was. No. 10 Marshall only had one lead the entire first half, and that lasted for about 10 seconds early in the first quarter. The Broncos took a 25-24 halftime lead on a … ]]> Wed, 29 Feb 2012 19:38:54 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marshall/boys_basketball/10946418-393/boys-basketball-marshall-pulls-away-from-pesky-montini.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marshall/boys_basketball/10946418-393/boys-basketball-marshall-pulls-away-from-pesky-montini.html
Unlike a lot of high-level high school basketball programs, things have been relatively calm at Simeon. The No. 1 Wolverines have not had a lot of players in trouble or suspended, especially during their high school careers. So that made it especially surprising Sunday when five Simeon players walked out in street clothes before the Wolverines Public League quarterfinal game against No. … ]]> Sun, 12 Feb 2012 22:01:57 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marshall/boys_basketball/10601955-393/boy-basketball-jabari-parker-stars-in-victory-for-short-handed-simeon.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marshall/boys_basketball/10601955-393/boy-basketball-jabari-parker-stars-in-victory-for-short-handed-simeon.html With its three big men on the bench in street clothes, Young was already behind the eight ball before the start of its Public League Playoff game against host Marshall on Friday. Six-foot-11 Jahlil Okafor, 6-10 Thomas Hamilton Jr., and 6-9 Paul White had to grin and bare it as their team fell to the Commandos 69-67. Hamilton has been out all … ]]> Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:33:03 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marshall/boys_basketball/10566562-393/boys-basketball-marshall-edges-short-handed-young.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marshall/boys_basketball/10566562-393/boys-basketball-marshall-edges-short-handed-young.html Cris Craig drilled a three from the top of the key with seconds remaining to allow No. 15 Marshall to avoid the upset and advance past Lincoln Park 45-42 in the opening round of the Public League Playoffs. The Commandos (19-6) will move on to face Young in a rematch of a game the Commandos won just recently. “We were just trying … ]]> Wed, 08 Feb 2012 19:19:22 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marshall/boys_basketball/10520151-393/boys-basketball-cris-craigs-three-lifts-marshall-past-lincoln-park.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marshall/boys_basketball/10520151-393/boys-basketball-cris-craigs-three-lifts-marshall-past-lincoln-park.html

The Sun-Times All-Public League basketball team is especially deep this season. Most of the second-team players would have earned first team status in a ­normal year. The squad is led by 6-9 junior phenom Jabari Parker. He is joined on the first team by his 6-8 teammate, Steve Taylor, a Marquette recruit. Narrowly missing out on first-team honors is ­another Simeon player, … ]]> Thu, 02 Feb 2012 19:28:03 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marshall/boys_basketball/10398828-393/boys-basketball-simeon-flavor-to-all-public-picks.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marshall/boys_basketball/10398828-393/boys-basketball-simeon-flavor-to-all-public-picks.html The rule in the Red-West is protect your house. While it’s easier said than done when it comes to playing against Marshall, Orr managed to hand the visiting Commandos their first conference loss with a 68-50 victory Wednesday. The Spartans (14-3, 6-2) led from wire to wire but only could manage a one-point lead after the first quarter and a six-point margin … ]]> Wed, 25 Jan 2012 21:06:50 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marshall/boys_basketball/10237818-393/boys-basketball-orr-slows-marshalls-swift-attack.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marshall/boys_basketball/10237818-393/boys-basketball-orr-slows-marshalls-swift-attack.html
