Preseason Player of Year
RJ Ogom (Homewood Flossmoor) & Darius Burford (Bolingbrook)
It is close between a couple of seniors here so we went with co-preseason players of the year. RJ Ogom from HF is a physical junk yard dog four man that expanded his game this summer hitting more jumpers and putting it on the deck. He is headed to College of Charleston. For Bolingbrook their combo guard Darius Burford is the next up in a long line of standout Raiders guards. The athletic Elon commit gets to the rim and can play both on and off the ball.
Preseason Conference Favorite
Just like the player of the year this one is going to come down to Bolingbrook and Homewood Flossmoor. Bolingbrook is so deep at the guard spot (shocker right?). Darius Burford will get a lot of the attention, but we are really excited to see the progress of their junior trio of Isaiah Stafford, Kai Evans, and Kyonte Thomas. If they develop like they should this team will be a problem in March! For HF RJ Ogom will have some running mates as well in this conference race. Senior guard Josiah Palmer and Joel Watts can handle and score. Inside Chad Readey and Christian Meeks bring the power game!
