Reply By the time most high school basketball teams achieve anything close to the team chemistry they're seeking for this abbreviated season, the season will probably be over. That's a box Evanston's already checked. With a starting lineup returning mostly intact from a group that was just two wins short of another trip to the Class 4A Final Four before the coronavirus shut down the state tournament last spring, the Wildkits will rely on that chemistry and experience in a season that starts Saturday and will consist almost entirely of games against Central Suburban League opponents. Subscribe Evanston opens Saturday at Beardsley Gymnasium at 2 p.m. against Vernon Hills. The only non-conference foe on the slate is Loyola Academy, which will host the Kits on February 15th. The season concludes on March 13th and there will be no postseason play.
