Whitney M. Young Magnet High School is very excited to host this Sixth annual event with a school
partner, Simeon Career Academy High School. Whitney Young is a college preparatory school 7th – 12th that has been recognized by the United States Department of Education as a Blue Ribbon School for Academic Excellence. It continues to be recognized by U.S. News and World Report and Newsweek as one of the top high schools in the country. Whitney Young is also known for its successful extracurricular activities. Whitney Young has a history of being known as the “School of Champions.” We have won state titles in chess, girl’s and boy’s basketball, academic decathlon, cross country, and debate. We have also been awarded gold medal status for our band program. Our motto is “Where Academic Excellence is the Standard” and we attempt to instill this excellence in every aspect of our school. We are also elated to engage in meaningful partnerships with various companies and organizations, the City of Chicago under the leadership of Mayor Rahm Emanuel, and basketball teams locally and from other cities. Chicago has been traditionally known for its outstanding basketball programs. This elite showcase will highlight the extraordinary talents of our student athletes who are competing, but also give us an opportunity to showcase our city and what it has to offer. The Whitney Young Boy’s Basketball Team is the reigning 4A State Champion in 2017. As a former college cheerleader and a physical education instructor, I believe athletic experiences positively impact students’ lives. They give meaning and purpose to educational institutions. The Chicago Elite Classic coupled with these fantastic partners will provide a long lasting impression on everyone who is affiliated and attends both or either session. Further, it will afford our visitors to Chicago an opportunity to enjoy high school basketball in a family friendly atmosphere. Please feel free to contact us at www.wyoung.org with any questions about our school and the wonderful programs it offers. Sincerely,
Joyce D. Kenner, Ed.D. Principal Whitney M. Young Magnet High School

Greetings Friends: On behalf of the Simeon Career Academy community, we are proud to welcome everyone that has convened in the city this weekend for the Sixth Annual Chicago Elite Classic. The school’s motto is “Excellence is our only option” and each member of our school community is encouraged to put those words into practice in all of their endeavors. Consequently, our student athletes have been the recipients of countless accolades throughout the city of Chicago and state of Illinois. Simeon is also well known for its contribution to Chicago’s rich basketball history. The head coach of the varsity Boys Basketball team, Robert Smith, made history when he led the Wolverines to six State Championships. We are proud to co-host with Whitney Young Magnet High School the Sixth Annual Chicago Elite Classic because it provides an opportunity for the two schools to forge a unique partnership to showcase the talent of scholar athletes from all over the nation, as they compete against one another for the title of Champion. We want to express our gratitude to all the participants, sponsors and individuals that have given their time and energy to support the success of the Chicago Elite Classic. Sincerely, Simeon Career Academy Administration

O
n behalf of the entire Entire Executive Board, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of our partners for supporting the
6th Annual Chicago Elite Classic (CEC) presented by NextLevel Health. Once again, this year’s CEC promises to bring elite level high school basketball to one of the most dynamic cities in the world. This year’s teams have come from as close as our surrounding states of Indiana and Missouri, and as far as halfway across the county as South Carolina and Kansas to compete in one of the most dynamic high school showcases in the world. Amongst many other additions and refinements, we have expanded this event to make the competition non-exclusive to Boys Basketball. We are pleased to host high level Girls Basketball completion for the first time in six years. Of course we cant forget the very competitive 8th grade elementary school teams who will also compete for city bragging rights. Without the support of our generous sponsors, we could not bring this great spectacle of basketball, as well as bringing tomorrow’s future college and professional stars to our event. All of our partners are truly appreciated but I would like to recognize some of our very special “Champions In Life” including Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Drs. Eric and Cheryl Whitaker, John W. Rogers, Jr., Malik Murray and Bobby Simmons. We thank our distinguished speakers and honorees of our Champions In Life Breakfast Dr. Lloyd Walton, Scoop Jackson, Kamau Murray and Camron Smith. CEC continues to provide an opportunity for basketball fans to witness some of the best future college and NBA basketball stars right here in your backyard. Similar to players like Jabari Parker (Milwaukee Bucks), Tyler Ulis (Phoenix Suns), Stanley Johnson (Detroit Pistons), and Jahlil Okafor, Markelle Fultz (Philadelphia 76ers) and Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics) who have all played in the classic, this year we have a number of high-level, NCAA Division 1 commits headed to schools such as the Universities of Illinois and Southern Florida as well as Iowa State. This high level of basketball, along with our mission of creating “Champions In Life”, is why we believe that the Chicago Elite Classic is the premier high school team basketball event in the nation. The Chicago Elite Classic is committed to developing professional athletes with strong values and great character on and off the court. Similar to prior years, we continue to expand the CEC’s events beyond basketball. This year’s players participated in the “Champions In Life Workshop” and the “Champions In Life Breakfast” comprised of discussions around topics that lead to success on and off the court. The Chicago Elite Classic is compelled to develop “Champions In Life” that will include additional coaching and support on life skills and leadership to support the students, coaches, and participating schools. We believe that building “Champions In Life” can help stem the violence that is plaguing our city and nation. The endgame is to develop young men and women of excellent character who win at the game of life by contributing positively to our communities, our cities, and our world. That’s why our commitment extends beyond the games. Once again, on behalf of the entire Chicago Elite Classic’s Executive and Advisory Board, we would like to thank you for your attendance and participation and we hope you enjoy the event. Please continue to stay in touch with us throughout the year by visiting us at www. chicagoeliteclassic.com or following us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. See you in 2018!

Fenwick - Fenwick is expected to be a challenger in the Chicago Catholic League and will most definitely be among the top teams when the season opens. Led by Coach Rick Malnati, the Friars have all the pieces for a fabulous season. The Class 3A state runner-up last March welcomes back a strong nucleus, including Billy Bruce, A.J. Nixon and Demari Nixon. But 6-3 sophomore D.J. Steward, a top 50 prospect nationally in the Class of 2020, is the headliner.
