Preseason Player of Year
Dominic Martinelli (Glenbrook South)
Martinelli is one of the most unique players in the state of Illinois. The crafty lefty has size to play either forward spot at the high school level and handles it well enough to make plays on the perimeter. What impressed us most was what he did at Ridgewood in June literally carrying his team to the finals.
Preseason Conference Favorite
This is a good group at the top, but we will go with Evanston as the preseason favorite. They return a junior backcourt of Jaylin Gibson and Blake Peters that is one of the best in the state. Gibson is such a versatile piece that can impact the game across the board. Peters might be the best pure shooter regardless of class. Niles North will give them a run with East Tennessee State commit Aquan Smart who took his game to another level this summer. Jalen Butler and Elijah Bull bring even more perimeter scoring to the table. With Martinelli don’t be shocked if GBS gets involved in the title race.
