St. Charles East’s David Mason is one of numerous key returning players for a Saints team that should compete in an intriguing Upstate Eight Conference River Division race.

River title chase to be ‘absolute dogfight’ Larkin is the defending Upstate Eight Conference River boys basketball champs. St. Charles East returns its top six players from an above-.500 teams. And Geneva coach Phil Ralston has size, shooting, depth and star power with which to work.

Without discounting the UEC River’s other four teams, that trio alone ensures this winter isn’t going to be a run-of-the-mill title chase around the conference.

“It’s going to be just an absolute dogfight, it really is,” Ralston said.

“It’s going to be just nasty going between these games.”

Deliciously nasty for area basketball fans.

While Larkin graduated stalwart guards Quantice Hunter and Quentin Ruff, other key pieces return, none of whom will draw as much preseason buzz as towering freshman Christian Negron, who could dunk as a middle-schooler.

St. Charles East coach Pat Woods is showing preseason deference to the defending champs.

“I think we’ll be in a position to compete for a conference title,” Woods said. “That will be one of our goals. However, it won’t be an easy task. I mean, Larkin, with the players they have coming back and the addition of [Negron], he’s a really good player and he’s going to help them a lot, so I think right now if you look at it, they’re the

PREP ZONE Jay Schwab team to beat, in my opinion.”

Perhaps, but if East has a better health shake than it did last year, the Saints will command every team’s full attention. The Saints will be virtually impossible to press with two potential future Division I point guards – Dom Adduci and Cole Gentry – playing alongside one another, and East has plenty of additional shooting, athleticism and size to throw at opponents.

“I really think St. Charles East has everything you need, every piece of the puzzle you need,” said St. Charles North coach Tom Poulin, whose new-look North Stars were labeled an underrated group by several conference coaches. “They’ve got varsity experience at every position, multiple leaders, but they can rely one of the best floor generals in the state in Adduci. He’s a coach on the floor. His basketball IQ is off the charts, and you know he’s coming back [from labrum surgery] hungry.”

As formidable as Larkin and East appear to be, this is not going to be a two-team race.

The splashiest offseason news involving Geneva might have been

the defection of hotly recruited marksman KJ Santos to a prep school in Vermont, but Geneva is nonetheless capable of making lots of in-season headlines for more uplifting reasons.

The Vikings won 21 games last year, and returning standout forward Nate Navigato is surrounded by experienced guards and an influx of size that has Ralston eager to take on all comers.

“I’d go to battle with these kids any day of the week,” Ralston said.

“As a coach, it really makes it fun. Not that I’ve ever not looked forward to preparing for a game, but there are games you’re making preparations and working with the slimmest of slimmest of margins.

There are going to be times where this group is going to make it feel like our margin maybe is not as small as we think.”

Those nights, though, are unlikely to come against the UEC River’s upper-tier teams, with others such as North, Batavia, Elgin and Streamwood capable of punishing contenders for an off night, as well.

“I think it’s going to be games of surviving more than anything,” Ralston said.

BOYS BASKETBALL

By JAY SCHWAB ajZ_nXY7j_Xnd\[`X%Zfd

T

his year more than most, several area boys basketball teams have turned to innovative scheduling touches, with Kaneland leading the way.

The Knights have added a pair of major events to their 2013-14 scheduling mix – a Jan. 4 meeting with Geneva at the United Center, and a new shootout the Knights are hosting on Feb. 15 in the spirit of Batavia’s tradition-rich Night of Hoops. “I think it really pumps up the guys, knowing we get to play where Derrick Rose plays,� Kaneland senior Ty Carlson said. “And definitely the shootout will be really cool because we go to a lot of those, like at Wheaton Academy, Batavia’s (Windmill City) tournament, but it will be cool to have our own – kind of start a tradition.�

The inaugural year of Kaneland’s event – titled “Kaneland’s Day and Knight of Basketball� – features St. Charles North against Peoria Richwoods, Larkin against North Chicago and Kaneland against Hillcrest.

Kaneland coach Brian Johnson is enthused about luring several highly regarded programs to Maple Park, and said the event will have fundraising components for the school and community. “The format’s similar to [Night of Hoops], but I think we’re definitely doing a lot of different things to kind of add our own flavor to it,� Johnson said.

North Stars coach Tom Poulin is glad to lend some local flavor to the shootout field. “I think he’s off on the right foot,� Poulin said of Johnson. “It’s going to be a blast.�

As for the United Center matchup, it will be the third time in six seasons the Knights and Vikings will clash on the west side before a Bulls game later that day.

Kaneland isn’t the only program with noteworthy scheduling wrinkles this season. Among the other

Kaneland coach Brian Johnson has a new home shootout and game at the United Center to look forward to this season. highlights: s 3T #HARLES %AST IS ROLLING out a new promotion Jan. 10 called “Brawlers and Ballers,� a rare wrestling/basketball doubleheader in the Saints’ GYM WHEN %AST WELCOMES %LGIN Instead of a sophomore game before the varsity – the SOPHS WILL PLAY IN %AST S FIELDhouse – a varsity wrestling meet will precede the boys basketball game. h)T S KIND OF AN IDEA ;%AST wrestling coach Jason Potter] AND ) CAME UP WITH v %AST coach Pat Woods said. “We all try to support each other’s programs, and we think this is one way we can work together to kind of highlight

both sports. ‌ Who knows, maybe we’ll start a trend and we’ll see some other teams and schools doing things like that.� s #OACH 0HIL 2ALSTON S Vikings will play on the University of Illinois’ court Dec. 7 against Bloomington as part of a shootout in Champaign.

Factor in that the Vikings are also part of the United Center matchup with Kaneland – not to mention a trip to downstate Quincy that Ralston always considers a great experience – and Ralston thinks this year’s squad is a lucky bunch on the scheduling front. s 7HILE +ANELAND IS ROLLING out its new shootout this win-

ter, Batavia is tweaking the format of its signature Night of Hoops.

The Bulldogs are adding a fourth game to the traditional varsity tripleheader. For the first time, Mooseheart will join the Night of Hoops lineup, taking on defending 3A state semifinalist Bartonville Limestone. “We wanted to kind of just bring in two more really good teams and kind of give an opportunity there,� second-year Batavia coach Jim Nazos said. “And Mooseheart being in our backyard and as good as they are, I think it is a good opportunity for people to see how good they really are.�

The other Night of Hoops

games will be Stevenson vs.

Benet, St. Patrick vs. West Aurora and Batavia vs. St. Joseph.

Night of Hoops will still include sophomore matchups, but this year, they will take place two-at-a-time on separate courts. s 3T &RANCIS WILL COMMEMorate the 25th anniversary of its 1989 team that finished in fourth place in Class A at its Jan. 25 home game against Prairie Ridge. “Coach (Mike) Harper was their coach, and he’s still here as a teacher and a great supporter of our team,� Spartans coach Bob Ward said. “He still stays in touch with those guys.�

SEASON’S GREETING CAN SEEM ABRUPT

Area basketball players find it tricky to adjust from football to new season

By JAY SCHWAB

ajZ_nXY7j_Xnd\[`X%Zfd

K

aneland senior John Pruett prepared to begin a preseason basketball workout last week, present in body if not entirely in spirit.

Pruett, a standout receiver on the Knights’ football team and also among the school’s most talented basketball players, was less than 100 hours removed from a football playoff defeat to Joliet Catholic, and Pruett acknowledged spending many of those hours brooding over what went awry in the game.

“I’m happy [to play basketball] but football will always be in the back of my mind,” Pruett said. “I’d say by January I’ll only be able to focus on basketball, not football.

That’s what I’m hoping.”

But basketball season starts in November, making for a tricky transition for athletes such as Pruett. While it’s common for some football players to also play basketball, the prevalence and prominence of those cases this season around the Tri-Cities area is greater than usual.

Kaneland’s top three returners – Ty Carlson, Drew David and Pruett – were all football starters, and the Knights have nine total varsity players sliding over from football.

A pair of returning St. Charles East forwards – AJ Washington and David Mason – suited up for football this fall after not playing in the past, while St. Charles North is experiencing the opposite phenomenon, with football-first athletes such as Chase Gianacakos and Garrett Johnson coming out for basketball this winter, joining fellow North football/basketball combo athletes Jack Callaghan, Erik Miller and Camden Cotter.

Batavia (leading basketball scorer/football quarterback Micah Coffey, Tucker Knox) and Geneva (expected contributors Mike Landi, Loudon Vollbrecht and Pace Temple) also are doubling down with some of their school’s top multisport athletes.

Many variables play into the degree of difficulty in transitioning from football to basketball, but the challenges are both physical and mental. In some cases, they are not easily conquered.

The physical

After St. Charles East’s firstround football playoff loss to Stevenson, Washington turned his

attention to preseason basketball workouts, expecting to be in prime shape.

Wide receivers, after all, are known to cover ground quickly.

But St. Francis boys basketball coach Bob Ward observed that football players often find “the walls start closing in on you” once basketball conditioning begins, and now Washington can attest.

“After football, I felt like I was going to go into basketball really conditioned,” Washington said.

“And then I saw myself going up and down the floor, and I was one of the tired kids, one of the only ones with my hands on my knees.”

The constant motion, lateral movement and leaping required in basketball quickly reveals which athletes did basketball-specific conditioning during the fall.

Given Batavia football’s extended playoff run, Coffey not only will have to navigate an abrupt fitness crash course, but do so through aching muscles.

“The whole getting back into shape those first couple weeks, every part of your body is hurting because you have a whole different set of muscle memory you have to refocus yourself on,” Coffey said.

“It’s tough, but I wouldn’t trade any basketball experience for the experience I’m getting in football [dur-

Geneva’s Mike Landi (left) and Daniel Santacaterina chat during a recent practice. Landi and Santacaterina played on the Vikings’ football team this fall. ing the playoffs], so I’ll take being sore any day.”

As football-to-basketball converts seek to restore their cardiovascular capacity, many find that their shooting and dribbling touch also have deserted them, especially if they couldn’t carve out any time in the fall to make a few open-gym cameos.

“Whenever you play basketball during football season with your buddies, you’re just kind of screwing around,” said David, Kaneland’s quarterback in football and point guard in basketball. “The focus isn’t really about making the right pass and stuff, you’re just messing around. When you get to the season, everything’s got to be crisp. It’s just kind of something you’ve got to take some time to get adjusted to, not turning the ball over, not making showboat passes and stuff like that.”

Potentially far worse than coming in out of basketball shape or a rusty jumper is the ever-present risk of football injuries spilling into

basketball season.

Geneva quarterback Daniel Santacaterina, Marmion running back Jordan Glasgow and David are among several area basketball players likely to miss the early stages of the season while mending football injuries.

“With our football team just getting knocked out of the playoffs [in the second round], my question mark is who is going to be healthy, when,” Marmion coach Ryan Paradise said. “That’s never a good thing, but I want to make sure our guys are healthy for the long-run rather than trying to rush them back for a Thanksgiving tournament.”

Once football players return to the court, keeping them there can be a challenge, too.

There is a tendency for some football athletes – physical beasts by nature – to run into foul trouble early in a season as they acclimate to the reduced level of contact allowed in basketball.

Ward has a simple solution to that dilemma.

“I just tell them not to foul,” Ward said. “The one great teacher of somebody that has foul problems is the bench. You can’t play if you’ve got foul trouble, so usually that will work itself out.”

The mental

Football is a grueling sport. It’s an emotional sport. And it’s also a supremely popular sport.

Considering all those factors, it’s not uncommon for football players to experience, as Vikings basketball coach Phil Ralston puts it, “a sense of loss” when their football family breaks up.

And depending on how long a football team’s season lasts, sometimes there’s virtually no time to work through those emotions before it’s hoops season.

If an athlete considers himself to be a football player first-andforemost, replenishing competitive juices for basketball season can be problematic.

“I don’t tell our players basketball has to be their No. 1 sport,”

Ralston said. “I don’t care if it’s No. 3 as long as when they’re with us they make it their priority. That’s the only thing we ask, when you’re playing with us, you’re invested in us.”

Pruett intends to take that approach at Kaneland, but it won’t come easy.

Although a potentially banner basketball season awaits him this winter, Pruett said “we had a plan to do big things in football this year,” and moving on quickly from Kaneland’s second-round playoff loss was hard to fathom. The hurt in Pruett’s voice was evident as he grappled with a change in seasons that came much quicker than he envisioned.

“Right out of football’s the hardest,” Pruett said. “This year’s the hardest for me just because I know next year [for football] doesn’t count anymore for me. I’m a senior. I’m done after this year.”

Kaneland coach Brian Johnson said he gives the transitioning football players “a little leeway here

and there” if they’re not completely cut-in, mentally – to an extent.

“Things that we do a lot no matter what the time of year it is, as far as if it’s the summer or in the season, I expect them to be able to do,” Johnson said. “It’s the new things that I understand they’re going to struggle with a little bit.

“One thing that’s unacceptable is a lack of hustle. If you know they’re not working hard, then they’re going to hear about it. We’re definitely a team that needs to work hard to be successful.”

St. Charles North coach Tom Poulin knows all about the emotional peaks and valleys of a school year, being a three-sport coach himself. He doesn’t anticipate his contingent of football-to-basketball athletes to shortchange him on effort this season.

“If you’ve done everything you can [in football], which I know those guys have, you’ve given everything you can give, now it’s time to do the same thing in the winter, and they’re really looking forward to having a successful senior season in the winter,” Poulin said. “I had a meeting a couple weeks ago and you could just feel it. Not to sound corny, but you could feel it in the air that they wished they were starting up that day.”

Crisp ball movement and coordinated motion are critical in basketball, and cultivating that level of chemistry often begins with a cohesive locker room.

That, too, can require some catch-up for football players. “[The non-football players] kind of got their own thing going, and me and a couple of other football guys kind of got our own thing going,” David said. “So we kind of come together, and it’s just kind of different for a little bit. But once you get a week or two into it, everything’s back to how it usually is with the guys.”

The payoff

While the changeover from football to basketball is seldom seamless, basketball coaches also point to potential upside from having players go through the football grind in the fall.

“No matter how hard you work out in the gym, no matter how hard

you train, you can’t simulate game experience, whatever sport you’re playing,” St. Charles East coach Pat Woods said. “So [Mason and Washington] were both in pressure situations. They had to do that. No matter what they did in the offseason, they can’t replicate that environment, so I think that makes them better as players as well.”

Woods also thinks the 6-foot-7 Mason’s months of banging bodies on the Saints football team’s defensive line might make him a fiercer competitor this season.

“I’m hoping it made Dave more aggressive, being on that D-line and going after people,” Woods said.

“I’m hoping we’ll see that translate into a more physical presence maybe, especially defense and on the boards.”

Poulin has a soft spot generally for multi-sport athletes, especially ones that have thrived in other sports. He said several players’ multi-sport backgrounds factored into the deepest-advancing basketball team he’s coached in 2008-09, when North made an IHSA Class 4A sectional final.

“You had student-athletes that were successful and were committed and had multiple responsibilities,” Poulin said. “They weren’t just guys who played football, they excelled on the football field. They weren’t just guys who played baseball, they excelled on the baseball field. And they come in and expect nothing less from their teammates and their coaches over the winter.”

Johnson hopes that notion applies to his Knights, and there is some evidence it might.

Last year’s Knights added a basketball Northern Illinois Big 12 East championship a few months after winning a football conference title, with largely the same cast of characters.

“You can’t beat the competition that they go through on a Friday night,” Johnson said. “Some will say there’s no bigger stage than Friday night. It’s nice that they go through that because I think it carries over to basketball from football.”

Give their lungs, hearts and minds some bounce-back time, and teenagers’ trademark resilience should be on display in a gymnasium near you.

Aurora Central Catholic sharpshooter Sean Harreld will make the transition to basketball after spending his fall competing with the Chargers’ golf team.

Alternate routes to hoops season available

By JAY SCHWAB ajZ_nXY7j_Xnd\[`X%Zfd While football-to-basketball is the most prevalent transition male athletes make this time of year, there are other ways to stockpile varsity letters.

Futbol to basketball is an especially popular path at Burlington Central, where Rockets boys basketball coach Brett Porto said the majority of guys on his roster spent the fall with Central’s soccer program.

Central’s boys soccer team advanced to a 2A sectional final before falling to Wheaton Academy.

“Nine of them getting through a regional championship and getting to a sectional championship, they can bring some of that experience in,” Porto said. “And camaraderiewise, they enjoy being around each other, so that always makes it good when you’re going to be in the gym Brett Porto with each other for four months.”

St. Charles East junior Zach Manibog isn’t bringing eight of his soccer buddies with him onto the Saints’ basketball roster, but the projected defensive stopper for the Saints basketball team certainly sharpened his footwork on East’s conference and regional championship soccer team.

And Aurora Central Catholic sharpshooter Sean Harreld was able to enjoy a successful fall sports season with minimal risk of injury after qualifying for the IHSA Class 2A Boys Golf State Finals this season.

GIRLS BASKETBALL

Seniors aim to push Bulldogs into River mix

By KEVIN DRULEY b[ilc\p7j_Xnd\[`X%Zfd

E

rin Bayram and Liza Fruendt still were refining the whole communication thing when they first knew each other.

Ten years later, the undisputed leaders of the Batavia girls basketball team are concise in their message: If you’re not here to work, kindly step aside.

Friends since second grade, Bayram (Boston University) and Fruendt (Missouri State) both committed to NCAA Division I programs entering their senior seasons, heightening the credibility of a program on the rise.

Batavia welcomed that distinction again last season, climbing from 13 wins in 2011-12 to 18 victories while seemingly running on fumes.

The Bulldogs had just eight players in 2012-13.

Coach Kevin Jensen welcomed 11 girls to the team this time, but given the group’s relative youth – Bayram, a post, and Fruendt, a combo guard, are the lone seniors – challenges certainly remain.

“It’s going to be something that Erin and I are going to have to adjust to the whole entire year,” Fruendt said.

“You go from a team that’s basically upperclassmen to now having to adjust a bunch of people to varsity basketball. It’s just constantly, every single day, we have to stress you have to go as hard as you can because they don’t know what the pace is like.

So if they’re going as hard as they can, at least they’re doing something to benefit them.”

Jensen is no stranger to being on the go himself, doubling as an assistant for the football team and habitually

shuttling between November practices since his days as a lower-level boys basketball coach.

He took the reins of the girls program three seasons ago, and happily has watched both Bayram and Fruendt develop into strong personalities and leaders. Bayram tore her left ACL in December 2011 but remained supportive as Fruendt cultivated her scoring touch.

The injury certainly had no bearing on the girls’ laughing, joking and hanging out, which eased the transition until they could collaborate on the court again.

Bayram was playing without restraint during a January home game against Upstate Eight Conference River Division rival Larkin, collecting the assist on the first-quarter 3-pointer that vaulted Fruendt past 1,000 points for her career.

“We’ve had a lot of discussions with Erin and Liza about this being a very meaningful year for them.

They already have college lined up, but they want to go out with a very special year,” Jensen said.

“They’ve been big on wanting to go out. They’ve been very demanding with leading and conditioning before the season. I’ve kind of made it clear to everybody that they’re going to be busting their tail and everyone else in the program is going to be expected to do the same and follow their lead.”

One object of increased focus is a Upstate Eight Conference River Division title. The Bulldogs aren’t the only ones anticipating a tough race.

Entering last season, Geneva had lost just one conference game since the beginning of 2008-09, but needed outside help to take last season’s

league title outright with a 10-2 conference record.

St. Charles East split a pair of overtime games with Geneva, while the Bulldogs lost to the Vikings by 14 combined points in two meetings. St. Charles North also appears to be on the upswing under first-year coach Sean Masoncup.

“It’s going to be tough,” Vikings coach Sarah Meadows said. “East, North. North’s got the new coach. They had young kids last year, now they have experience. And Batavia is always tough. And I know they’ve done a lot of work over the summer, so they’ll be ready to go. It’ll be tough.”

Those last three words might as well be the start of the motto of Batavia’s workouts.

Behind Bayram and Fruendt, the Bulldogs hope to tack on, “But it’ll be worth it.”
