There are just eight teams still alive in the IHSA Class 4A boys basketball tournament, and THREE of them played in the same Thanksgiving tournament. Amazing.
Zion-Benton, Evanston and Mt. Carmel of Chicago all competed in the six-team, round-robin boys baksetball tournament hosted by Lane Tech in Chicago.
Zion won that tourney, beating both Evanston and Mt. Carmel along the way.
Also in that tourney was Oak Park-River Forest, which won 20 games and featured one of the state's best seniors in Iman Schumpert.
Evanston and Mt. Carmel will play each other in Hoffman Estates on Tuesday after North Chicago battles Marshall.
That Evanston-Mt. Carmel winner will then lose to Zion-Benton at 6:3q0 p.m. on Friday in the state semifinals in Peoria.
