Reply Evanston s stranglehold on the Central Suburban League South division basketball championship has to end at some point. But if 2021 is the year, it might have as much to do with the players who aren t on the court as with the ones who are. Worn down by a tough stretch of games in the second-to-last week of a concentrated schedule, the Wildkits couldn t match their stirring performance just 12 hours earlier against the same foe and bowed to arch-rival New Trier 35-34 at Beardsley Gym in one of the lowest-scoring games in the history of the head-to-head series. Subscribe The loss spoiled the 9th annual Bost Family Basketball Classic, a celebration of the late Bob Bost, who coached baseball and basketball at ETHS for 27 years. The event took on added poignancy with a video of his grandson, Ryan, a former Wildkit player who was murdered last spring. ....
Reply Friday s road loss at New Trier certainly made things crystal clear for the Evanston girls basketball team. The path to a repeat as Central Suburban League South division champions is simple. Now, Coach Brittanny Johnson s team will probably have to win out. New Trier applied a 62-40 near-knockout punch and handed the Wildkits, now 11-3 overall, their first league loss. ETHS has a rematch with the Trevians Saturday at Beardsley Gym and will close out the year next weekend with a home-and-home series against a Maine South club that hasn t lost yet in conference action. Subscribe Friday, the visitors fell behind 14-4 at the start and never really challenged the Trevians (9-5, 4-2). Evanston was held without a field goal in the second quarter, missing all 8 shots from the floor, and only got offensive production from Rashele Olantunbosun with 15 points. ....
Reply One of the side effects of the pandemic for high school basketball is the fact that coaches can t send scouts out for in-person evaluations of future opponents. Schools in the Central Suburban League have agreed to swap videos - but ask any head coach and they ll tell you it s just not the same. So the teams that survive and thrive this 2021 campaign are going to be the ones that can prevail while adjusting as they go. Subscribe So far, so good for Evanston s girls. The Wildkit defense stymied Glenbrook North Friday night at Beardsley Gym, holding the Spartans without a field goal for the entire second quarter, as ETHS scored a 57-25 victory and improved to 6-1 on the season while remaining undefeated in CSL South division play. ....
Reply Senior guard Isaiah Holden set a single game school record for steals and Blake Peters poured in a team-high 22 points Saturday at Beardsley Gym as Evanston s basketball team picked up where it left off last year. The Wildkits crushed Vernon Hills 81-60 in an impressive season debut in front of a crowd of about two dozen spectators under the new coronavirus pandemic restrictions. Surgical masks for all of the participants are part of the new norm, but the Kits as a team appeared to be in whatever passes for mid-season form in a 5-week abbreviated regular season and looked just like the team that reached the Class 4A sectional tournament finals a year ago. ....
